Did you guys notice a noise of a loose part inside at the top of the phone? when you slightly hit the back of the phone next to the "bold" word, quite annoying
i just got off the phone ordering my 9700. its the one to get. not only the trackpad is better. also better operating system and overall higher quality. GET THE BOLD 9700!
I was torn between this decision as well, though this was between the Bold 9000 and the 9700. I'd say go for the BOLD 9700, because the trackball gathers dust and is a real b*itch to clean every six months.
@n95jonathan there is actually a phone called blueberry. its like a copycat version of blackberry minus the OS and stuff.. so basically its a regular phone with simple menus like phone and short message service. it came from...... yeap, u guessed it... China..
Yes it supports msn the devise used during review was a prerelease phone with prerelease OS which did not. The 9700 supports almost all major IM services.
this phone is much better than the my Touch 3g.. seriously, you're going to get tired of all the apps eventually and touch screen gets annoying after awhile. Sometimes you're going want buttons to text with.. especially if you're a major texter.
oh wow, none of the release dates you guys say is the official release date... their is not official release date for at&t but t-mobile supposedly said that nov 16th is the official release date for it
i love BB but unfortunately is to slow for the web i will change to palm webos which is base on linux and is super fast when BB come out with something faster i change back ,, every one talk about speaker track ball ect but nothing about the processor the fast a goes on the web none of that not good BB google android is out and the fabulous palm webos thanks god no more windows mobile for palm BB i got faith they'll came out with something better soon.
Nice video, I'm in the market for a new phone and I'm pretty sure the phone will be a blackberry since I use to work for RIM. I was thinking to go for the curve but the onyx looks pretty nice. My iPhone 3g is jailbroken it's. Not a phone anymore it's more if a flashy show off thing, so I need a second unit
i like how all iphone fan boys always bust on the "same design and they keep adding different numbers". let me ask you something; has apple made any hardware changes to there iphone 3gs? NO! you cant differentiate the 3g from the 3gs. what do you have to say about that? and no one starting saying things like "oh..but the iphone has the app store" i am talking about hardware right now.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
blackberry is sooooooooo gettin boring. its the same product. all they do is add new numbers to it. someone please tell me any major difference btw these phones??? def stickin wit my iphone
Spoken like a true iphone fanboy. Either way, 9700 looks awesome, what i dont like is the "bold" printing at the back, it looks cheesy i think. I think the tour 9600 (but to bad it doesnt have wifi) and bold 9000 is the best looking bb out there. Im a bit bias, and im against 8900 just because they dont have 3g.
so were goin sit here n front like this phone is sooooooooooo great??? fuck outta here!!!!!! let me be a iphone fanboy. this phone is (just like all of RIMs devices) are the same exact thing wit a new number on it.
Why did I have to see this video because my contract just ran out and now I am torn between the 8900 and the Onyx, but if the Onyx is too expensive then I will just get the Curve.
can you tell me if this phone has real chrome/metal on the sides or is it painted on like the 8900 because that paint comes off the 8900 while my bold is solid metal
Hate to burst you bubble but its painted on the Bold too. Being as how I'm not the person doing the review I can only speculate the 9700 will be the same.
i think its a little better than the trackball the only thig is sumtimes when your trying to navigate real fast you may miss what you were looking for
Does the Onyx have the Bold stamp then?
