The Blackberry Bold 9700 is a fantastic little phone! It really is and as a test I’m actually writing this review on my new 9700 on a bumpy bus to Dundee.
So what can I tell you about it? Well let’s start with the look and feel of the thing. The combination of polished black, chrome and the tactile leathery finish on the back give the 9700 a sleek, sexy and professional business look. The leather feel back also helps grip when typing on the dinky full qwerty keyboard.
Its definitely the most stylish looking business orientated smart phone I’ve seen.
And it really is smart and works for your business. Setting up your emails is super easy and they come through immediately! Not only that but a multitude of email attatchments can be downloaded and opened, even microsoft office documents.
Of course its all about the apps these days and there is plenty useful apps to choose from. Ubertwitter is one of mine and of course the WordPress app allowing me to write this review on the bus. Totally awesome! I love how easy it is to update my websites on the move.
Aside from the powerful business functions the 9700 boasts the usual features like mp3 playback and a 3.2 megapixel camera. One of the best featurews for me though and a real iphone beater is the use of SD card memory, allowing me to expand and swap my memory cards, something the iphone won’t let you do!
In conclusion I love the new BB Bold. The design and proportions are just right, it helps me make money and I can run various aspects of my business on the move and of course look good doing it.
I think its an iphone beater!!!

Well after using this phone for a number of months now Id thought Id leave a wee update about the phone.
The phone really is great and the bet Ive ever had, it has loads of great features, however I have noticed some bugs and annoying stuff:
1. The keypad/board dims even in low light situations, which means you are typing in the dark. You can place you finger over the light sensor but this is annoying in itself and not a proper solution. The proper solution would be to have a setting to keep the keypad lit at all times……common sense yes, well no this does not exist.
2. Surfing the internet is a bit clunky.
3. There isnt as many good quality apps as there is for iPhone.
All in all it does pretty much everything I want it to business wise and thats all I really care about.
But hey Blackberry sort out the stupid dimming issue will ya!!
