BlackBerry Bold 9700 (AT&T) Unboxing & Quick Hands-on

[42ledzepp34]

is 3.2 mp good?

[wirefly]

@42ledzepp34 3.2-megapixel is fine for quick snapshots. No cell phone camera takes excellent photos, but it's not the resolution so much as the focus and noise (grain) level. A sharp 3.2-megapixel camera is always better than a soft and noisy 5-megapixel camera.

[Trailmixorz]

i know that these arent on at&t's website but in their stores, but how much are they charging on a 2 year upgrade?

[wirefly]

@Trailmixorz Unfortunately, Wirefly (and several other online vendors) no longer sells AT&T phones. Therefore, I don't have any pricing information for you.

Bob at Wirefly

[aqua4eternity]

@Trailmixorz They are on the website right now.

[Karciababy]

[soccerlvr427]

if you order a phone on wirefly to upgrade the one you have, does it come with a new sim card or do you have to use your old one?

[armeniandavo818]

can you put a signiture on it

[jason42090]

Should I get this or a Nexus One? I have to pay full price anyways...

[jason42090]

Should I get this or a Nexus One? I have to pay full price anyways...

[iPastrolito]

@jason42090 if you like texting, then I recommend this bold or any other blackberry's (not the storm)

[singhsc430]

is this pre loaded with AT&T software ?? if it is preloaded wil it still act as a bb and not a AT&T phone

[IAmThatIndianKid]

What exactly does it mean to renew your contract? On the site, it says that this phone will be 50$ with a contract renewal. Do I have to finish my contract first, or can I just renew it. I signed up to At&t summer 2008, got a new phone summer 2009, and planning to get this one in summer 2010.

[hoosierfan222]

@IAmThatIndianKid Once you are upgrade-eligible, you can get a new device with Wirefly's discount, thereby renewing your contract. Please let us know if you have further questions.

[IAmThatIndianKid]

@hoosierfan222

oh darn, okay. I have to wait another year with my LG Neon, wich is a piece of crap

[MsWilbe]

I had the same unit but wondering how it can work with the East Asia Language pack. Any idea?

[morenom1029]

i HATE that bb is making their phones so damn small. i get that small is "in" but cmon you already have the 8900 line, the tour phones and now the bold!

they should have left it full size. could have probably even bumped the screen size up to 3 inches rather than down to 2.4

Not to mention, other than the girly size its pretty much the same phone as the first bold. the trackpad is all youre paying for

so depressing.

[Flippi411]

@morenom1029

Okay, first of all, they still have the original Bold, but it willl probably soon be discontinued. The 8900 was already discontinued by T-Mobile, and will soon be discontinued by AT&T. The Tour is also soon being replaced by the Tour 2. Increasing the size to 3" would be too much. There is a Blackberry Slider coming out (Palm Pre Style Slider). It will have a touchscreen and slide-down QWERTY keyboard. But the new bold has a lot more, such as a much faster 624mhz processor.

[P4KIPIMP1]

is it loud this phone

[Mutterjunge]

@P4KIPIMP1

that doesn't make sense.... at all

[officialjohnpaul]

i chose the 9000 three weeks ago. i love it and all, and just like 10 minutes, the trackball was frozen or something so i had to fckin take off the battery...but now, i decided to get the 9700 tomorrow or something, ASAP.....and we'll see. i love the 9000 size cause it has this masculine body but the trackball is getting loud already after three weeks. so yeah. what do you guys think ??????

[smalltownkid2004]

I donno never had problems with mine at all and I had the black bold for months and just sold it to buy the white bold and as always never a flaw. even changed the trackball out and put a black ball in and everythings just peachy. Love my bold

[BrowniieBeauty]

getting this !!

[Jmklig]

getting this in.... aww man 15 days >:(

[TeamTakeoverTV]

gettin this on saturday..yea boii

[ThemaskedGrl]

I can't wait I might get this tommorow!!! :). XD

[ThomasHaddens]

BlackBerry Bold for free at Gifter7[.]com. You are lucky! fantastic video...

[sjh1023]

WIREFLY WILL RIP YOU OFF! If you have a family plan, don't bother. They advertise free phones with an 2 year contract extension and upgrade. HOWEVER! When you purchase the phone, you'll shortly later receive and email stating they need to speak with you over the phone. There they'll tell you the advertised price is only reserved for PRIMARY lines and that SECONDARY lines have to pay $150! HOW DO YOU GO FROM FREE TO $150? And why do secondary lines not get the advertised deal? SCAM!

[quakerwildcat]

Call it a scam if you want. You tried to get something for nothing. AT&T is the one that tells Wirefly whether you're eligible or not. Wirefly tried to get you the deal.

[sjh1023]

I will call it a scam. I went to wirefly cuz I was told they give deals. Even if it wasn't free, I would've gone to them instead of ATT. It's the fact that I spent 30 minutes, told her what line I wanted upgraded, she said it was approved by ATT, it was a family plan phone and was completely free to me. SHE TOLD ME THIS SEVERAL TIMES! I then get an email stating that the phone, since it was a secondary line, was not free, but $120.

[sjh1023]

explain to me why all phones are not available to the ADVERTISED PRICE. Listen, I could care less about it being free... that's not the point. the point is they advertised it free. No where on the listing does it say only primary phones, or that secondary phones are subject to change. it specifically says the phone is free with 2 year contract renewal, shouldn't matter which line. They don't honor their deal as advertised, so it's a scam... point blank.

[NancyWarrens]

You can win BlackBerry Bold at Gifter7(.)com. You are lucky! marvellous video...

[iggie2009]

imma get this phone from t-mobile tomorrow yay im so happy!!!1

[Chris385261]

[tinseltownchick]

[trshelton18]

abot 199.00 with a 100 dollar mail in rebate and this is online

[CandiceMichelle27]

how much does this phone cost with a 2yr contract

[Jmklig]

it would be just like if your contract was up, but all yu need to do is actually go to the att store and pay an 80 fee

[CandiceMichelle27]

o ok

[RevokedDreaming]

Hey, I know this is so random but the Maine is amazing. =]

[Chris385261]

is this phone worth 440$? lol

[TheCrazyJonasGirls]

it was 279.99 with an early upgrade,which is one-year.

and you get a $150 mail in rebate!

[mvpfan101]

this fone is free on wirefly with a new contract

[squiggs135]

if mine didnt come in a box like this does it mean it is refurbushed?

[smalltownkid2004]

depends what the box looks like if it's refurbished from att it'll be in a thin rectangle box and should say refurbished on the bottom.

[Warren2013]

not exactly , i think it depends where u get in from ,

[wirefly]

Hi Kristeph, we appreciate the opportunity to address some of the concerns you are likely referring to. Due to the nature of the cell phone business, there is often confusion regarding upgrade eligibility, contract extensions, and credit approval - leading to some negative reviews. Wirefly has delivered millions of cell phones to happy customers, and we've posted a link that addresses some of the confusion and explains how we can offer such great deals.

[kwp122]

is the phone i will recieve a refurb

[wirefly]

@kwp122 The phone will be brand new just as it would be in-store.

[imafuckinfanatic]

@wirefly do u guys have refurbished versions of this phone? i saw it on at&t for a penny refurbished with a 2 yr contreact and a data plan? but they dont have it anymore do u have anything similar? im looking to add this phone to my family plan

[wirefly]

@imafuckinfanatic Unfortunately, we don't offer a refurbished version of the 9700, but we still hope we can be of service for a new device if you decide to go that route.

[alex706135]

@imafuckinfanatic This phone is free now refurbished at at&t

[amirz300]

LOL. Kritsteph your a moron. google google google. yeah cuz the internet is where you find the most reliable info. my moto, the more negative press on the internet, the better you are doing. for every 1000 customers there is always one idiot that had a bad experience. the problem is that the 1000 ppl that had a good one wont go online and talk about it. the 1 moron does. keep googling. you will get far in life.

[idkmybffjill1221]

I currently own a blackberry curve 8310 and I want to upgrade to the bold 2, do I have to pay full retail price?

[serbianstud16]

@idkmybffjill1221 depends on how long you have had the phone contract if you have had it for 2 years you dont have to pay retail but if you had it for under yes you do have to pay full retail

[amirz300]

@idkmybffjill1221 i would go onto your att account online and you can check. if youve had your phone for 2 years you can deff upgrade but with att in some cases you can upgrade as soon as every 12 months as long as on your main line you pay $99 or more a month. like i said, check on your account online or just call att and ask. if your line is eligible, you can deff upgrade and wirefly is great. dont listen to the idiot up top.

[sahatnow]

If you are not eligible for an upgrade then you have to pay the full retail price. Check with your cell phone company.

[Jmklig]

not if your go to the store and pay a 75 dollar fee.

[machoBaller213]

hey wirefly..how much is it without contract on black friday

[wirefly]

Unfortunately, without contract, the price will remain unchanged. Wirefly

[rogermontano101]

Is it still $29.99 if you upgrade a line that's on your family plan?

[wirefly]

It will still be $29.99, but unless you are upgrading all lines on your family plan, you will have to call in to upgrade just one line. Thanks for watching! Wirefly

[Talalkhoury85]

nice video dudeee!!!!!!!
