New Blackberry Bold Phone - Blackberry 9700

The size, thickness, speed and strength are some of the factors that may influence your decision when searching for a new Blackberry phone. This was the basic idea that prompted the invention of the new BlackBerry Bold phone – the Blackberry 9700 as a replacement for the Bold 9000.

The Bold 9000 caused a lot of excitement when it was first released on the market. This is mainly because it had HSDPA/3G functionality. However, today 3G is a typical feature of any other smart phone available on the market today. Therefore, this factor cannot really influence the decision on which Blackberry smart phone to buy, taking into account the modern day market situation. However, one important enhancement has made the Bold 9700 very popular. This is definitely the exchangeable keyboard that people with large fingers find very useful. This improves their typing, especially if they regularly compose emails and documents, thereby avoiding some of the common frustrations associated with the complexity of using these devices.

The Blackberry Bold 9700 is a smaller and lighter design than the earlier Bold 9000. It is also technologically superior to the 9000. Weighing 122 grams, the Bold 9700 is half the weight of the Bold 9000 device with a weight of 133 grams.

While the Bold 9000 comes with a 2 megapixel camera which looked great at the time of its release on the market, the Bold incorporates a 3.2 megapixel camera, so you can shoot videos lasting a practical amount of time. If you want to record more videos, you can insert a microSD card. The Bold 9700 also incorporates a video flash. Although when the current 8 and 12 megapixels are taken into account, the 3.2 megapixel camera that the Bold 9700 provides looks a little insignificant, it has other features that make it popular. The most significant enhancement is the inclusion of an autofocus.

The screen of the 9700 is larger than the earlier version. It is also more attractive. Additionally, instead of the trackball, the new Blackberry uses a spanking new trackpad. This is a great improvement, because it offers a trendy experience to Blackberry users. So, just as the BlackBerry 9860 price is justified by its features, the Bold 9700 is worth every penny.

As far as battery life is concerned, the Bold 9000 was appalling. Users only could use their phones for a few hours, but with the Bold 9700, it typically takes longer for the battery to drain.
