BlackBerry Bold reviewsThere is a common theme with all BlackBerry Bold 9700 reviews - positive recommendations and glowing praise. Below are a selection of excerpts from around the web, further endorsing the merits of owning this highly popular BlackBerry handset. Business phones don’t have to be boringTelegraph.co.uk: The arrival of the first BlackBerry Bold last year proved that business phones don’t have to be boring: the screen used a new process to fuse the LCD screen to the outer glass, resulting in super-bright, vivid colours. The slimmer Bold 9700 is the best balance yet between comfortably narrow phone and conveniently wide keyboard. [read more] Bold 9700 - the ultimate BlackBerryRobert Johnson (Know Your Mobile):The new Bold is simply amazing to look at, being slightly smaller than the existing 8900 ‘Javelin’ and sporting the trackpad first introduced on the low-end 8520. When put beside the original Bold, you suddenly realise just how big the first one was. Even if the Bold 9700 won’t be your main phone (although there’s no logical reason for not using this to make calls), it is the ultimate BlackBerry. Better still, unlike other manufacturers that bring out a new model every few months, you can relax in the knowledge that this phone should be around for some time and won’t be obsolete by next week. [read more] BlackBerry Bold 9700 - the best BlackBerry yet?Chris Hall (Pocket-lint.com): The BlackBerry Bold 9700 feels like the last step in an evolution of devices, bringing together the form factor from the Curve 8900 with the tech specs of the original Bold. It brings with it the two key elements that BlackBerry users love: an excellent keyboard with which to abuse BlackBerry's excellent email service. RIM will certainly evolve their BlackBerry offering and as it stands the BlackBerry Bold 9700 is the best BlackBerry yet: a very comfortable device to use, delivering its core functions with aplomb. [read more] BlackBerry Bold 9700 - highly recommendedRosemary Hattersley (pcadvisor.co.uk): A slimmer, lighter Bold than the original model, we like the substitution of the trackball for the touchpad and think this BlackBerry line remains the most appealing that RIM offers. Time will tell whether qwerty keypad fans find the BlackBerry Bold 9700's shrunken keypad an issue, however. The BlackBerry Bold 9700 is a good-looking smartphone with a tremendous range of features. Highly recommended. [read more] BlackBerry Bold 9700 specifications

The first BlackBerry Bold 9000, whilst
popular, was a big handset, weighing in at 4.8 ounces - 4.48 inches in height,
by 2.6 inches in width. The battery life with the Bold 9000 was not good and
the handset would generally need daily charging and the camera was just
2-megapixels. Following this, the BlackBerry 9650 had similar dimensions, the
same weight and some slight improvements in battery life, playback time etc.
The Bold 9650 replaced the track ball with optical track pad navigation - a
great improvement, given the sometimes gritty experience that all BlackBerry
track ball users would be familiar with. Following very quickly was the
BlackBerry Bold 9700 - a significant step forward for this already popular
handset. With the BlackBerry Bold 9700, the weight is down to a comfortable 4.3
ounces and size, down to: 4.29 x 2.36 inches. Talk time increases from 4.3 to 6
hours and music playback increases from 12.8 to 38 hours! The Camera resolution
for the Bold 9700 increases to 3.2MP and includes flash, video recording and a
2X digital zoom (reduced from 3X digital zoom with the Bold 9000). Memory is
significantly improved with the Bold 9700 - 256MB onboard plus a 2GB microSD
card included, with expansion to 32GB available at extra cost. All Bold models
include GPS, WiFi and 3G network support.
