as opposed to the last BlackBerry Bold 9000, which was a strange mix of styles and textures, rim got the style good with the BlackBerry Bold 9700. The telephone oozes class, and though it still sports a mix of faux-leather plastics and soft touch paint with that now-signature chrome band, the Buy Blackberry Bold 9700 now feels understated and slight in the hand. It’s smaller and lighter than the BlackBerry Tour, although it packs more features. Overall, the outer shell is not an exit from the modern BlackBerry feel and appear, it’s just the most refined version we’ve seen so far.

Like the original Buy Blackberry Bold 9700, the standout design feature on the new BlackBerry Bold 9700 is the screen. Besides the new BlackBerry storm 2 we just reviewed, the Buy Blackberry Bold 9700 could have the best screen we’ve seen on a mobile device. It’s bright and colourful, with deep, inky blacks and colourful, shining highlights. It is also utterly wasted on the bland, textual and dated looking BlackBerry interface. There isn’t a single feature that looks better on a BlackBerry device than on a more polished looking phone, like the Palm Pre or the HTC Hero on run.

The BlackBerry Bold 9700 gets the new BlackBerry trackpad, which seems to be the future for BlackBerry telephones with a genuine keyboard. It’s a step up over the trackball that dominated the middle generation of BlackBerry phones, but we can’t help but question if navigation on the BlackBerry has gotten any simpler since the days of the old thumbwheel. It actually hasn’t gotten faster, as you can see the 1st time ( of many ) you have to approve a long set of terms and conditions, or when you want to scroll through a long web page. The keyboard on the BlackBerry Bold 9700 is classic BlackBerry. But BlackBerry keyboards have a powerful fan base, and for easy typing, you will find a quick and simple QWERTY on the BlackBerry Bold 9700.
