BlackBerry Bold 9700 PDF Print E-mail

The BlackBerry Bold 9700 certainly has a very BOLD RIM cell phone name. Of course, some of the highlights of the phone encompass the iconic keyboard that is located at the bottom of the phone. Also, RIM did a very good job in improving their RIM cell phone, whereby they have made the keyboard easier to type, as compared to other models that come with tiny little keyboards which are a nightmare for people with large fingers and palm.

On the other hand, the BlackBerry Bold 9700 is also lighter when compared to the Nokia E72, whereby it only weighs a mere 122 grams. Personally, I believe that you’ll like the light weight RIM cell phone, as you can easily slide this particular phone inside your pocket and bring it where ever you go.

Also, the BlackBerry Bold 9700 works on a 2.4 inch display that has 65K colors. Personally, I think RIM can do a better job in this particular area, as clearly the display unit is too tiny for comfort. A device with larger display like the iPhone, would surely be more comfortable. And judging by the fact that the current cell phone standards have more than 200k of color, the 65K color just aren’t enough.

However, the BlackBerry Bold 9700 does come with a 3.5mm audio jack, which allows you to plug in your standard 3.5mm devices inside the socket. On the other hand, the microUSB port is also very handy indeed. Sadly, there’s no cover for the microUSB port, and I predict that this particular area will accumulate dust after prolonged usages.

Any by running on the latest BlackBerry OS 5.0, this gives you extended functionality on the phone. Perhaps there will be more gaming options in the near future, and I’m pretty sure developers would definitely come up with great applications for the phone.
