BlackBerry Bold 9700 Review - Multimedia/Web Browsing

[prodigious08]

This is sooooo LINUX.

[YoitsDro]

its bad quality because all the data that comes through is compressed my friend.

how u download videos????

[velikxo4y]

Use tripod. Please. Tripod can prevent the camera from shaking too much.

[golfguy1995]

[Ziber100]

@golfguy1995 can we install java on blackberry bold 9700.....how can you play youtube videos

[golfguy1995]

@Ziber100 you should just be able to go to the mobile youtube site and play the videos

[fujiman3]

[NoIllegalsNoBurritos]

Good vid man, getting this phone in 2 weeks

[thegamer1291]

with the web browsing speed, you had it on wifi,,, your connection might not have been that good... if you are using the 3G it is faster,,, well it is for me anyways

[lileazye11]

@thegamer1291 does blackberry have any apps like iphone or is it only for business

[MrOogledoogle]

@lileazye11 it has apps like iphone but no where near as many .. plus it has ones that are better for business

[lileazye11]

@MrOogledoogle is the browser fast on 3g?

[von211]

Besides iPhones, Any recommendations on a good phone that works well and fast on Wi-Fi?? . I would really appreciate it if you could help me out.

[golfguy1995]

@von211 if you are looking for a touch screen phone the nexus one is the way to go, if you want touchscreen with keyboard the droid is the way to go. The Blackberry I have is slow with internet but fast with apps

[PreLudeLoveR67]

wow i love this phone. i was seriously thinking of upgradeing to a touch screen android phone. for example g1 or mytouch. but seeing this phone is realy makeing me think now. it looks realy nice. im confused on what to get:(

[golfguy1995]

@PreLudeLoveR67 It depends in what you want in a phone, if you want multimedia than I would not recommend this phone. The thing that i like most about this phone is the OS it's very intuitive. Although the other day I dropped the phone from 1 foot off the ground and now the screen is all white and cracked. I might have to get a new one so quality isn't that good

[thecatintheshoes]

@PreLudeLoveR67 ya i have it the music player is awesome this guy is just confused or something. the video camera is awesome too as is the camera. its not the greatest for web browsing, but it gets the job done. really the BB shines in the OS. its so fast and efficient you press buttons to see if you can do something and it just always works out i love it. (video quality on youtube is better than my friends droid incredible, he's pissed lol)

[punkposer]

video streaming is going to be the same as any other mobile phone unless the device is capable of HD quality data streaming. Also, try Opera mini for browsing the web. I'd only use the Bberry browser for data streaming and Opera mini for everything else =] can't wait to get my hands on a 9700

[quickercupid]

why I can't watch youtube video on the built in browser?

[golfguy1995]

@quickercupid you should be able to, make sure you on the mobile version what does it say when you try to watch the videos?

[kgalante]

@golfguy1995 I can't watch them either. I get the following error message "An error has occured attempting to play media"

[golfguy1995]

@kgalante can't watch what?
