BlackBerry Bold 9700 Review – Looks Good

Posted By Mr.Gadget  Published in blackberry, smartphone

The Blackberry Bold 9700 has been available in Australia for the last 3 months or so. According to a review done on MobilitySite, the Blackberry 9700 looks to be a good upgrade from the Blackberry Bold 9000.

Major improvements are form factor, digital camera, weight, optical trackpad, positioning of microSD slot, WiFi, customisable keyboard, faster CPU and more memory.

I know it’s a tad late but just thought I’d put this out there for people still contemplating an upgrade.

I really love it for the camera. But am torn because I like the feel and weight of the Bold 9000! =\

Can’t wait to get my hands on the 9700 (how much?) – am so sick of the sticky, crappy trackball on the 9000….

Yeah the Blackberry Bold 9000 is heavier and I believe many people, like yourself, have gotten used to it.
