\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 AT&T BlackBerry Bold 9700<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/font><\/span><\/div>\n<\/p>\n

\n<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The BlackBerry Bold 9700 gives it
\npredecessor, the Bold 9000
\nsomething to talk about. The Bold 9700 integrates and perfects the
\nforerunners
\nfeatures into a slimmer and compact body, awarding consumers with the
\nultimate
\nsmart phone. The full QWERTY keyboard, 3G technology, and 3.2 MP digital
\n camera
\ngives this smart phone some top notch qualities. <\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The body of the Bold 9700 is constructed in
\n similar design
\nto previous models. The phone comes in a standard black with leather on
\nthe
\nobverse, above which is the integrated 3.2 MP digital camera with video
\ncapture
\nand flash. The camera is an upgrade from the original 2.0 MP and takes
\nadequate
\npictures, keeping in mind it\u2019s not a designated camera. You can capture
\nall the
\npictures and videos you want with a standard 256MB of internal memory
\nand
\nincluded 2GB microSD card. The SD port is situated behind the backside
\nof the
\nphone and is capable of a 32GB memory, which should be more than
\naccommodating.
\nLikewise, on the spines of the phone shelter the 3.5mm headphone jack,
\nmicroUSB
\nport, and designated shortcut key as well as volume rocker and delegated
\n camera
\nkey. In addition, a unique feature of the BlackBerry models is the
\npush-in lock
\nand standby keys. Displayed on the smart phone after lock mode is
\nactivated is
\nthe personal information given, such as name, company, and number to
\nreach. <\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 This is all brandished on the 2.44-inch,
\n480 x 360 high
\nresolution display. Unfortunately, this is a down size from the original
\n 2.75
\ninch screen, but with a 245 pixels per inch resolution you can\u2019t
\ncomplain.
\nSimilarly, the full QWERTY keyboard underwent a reduction in size from
\nthe
\n\u201cfinger\u201d accommodating Bold 9000. Although smaller, texting and sending
\nmail is
\nstill a breeze and wouldn\u2019t expect any less. On the other hand, the
\nswitch from
\na track ball to trackpad made an ample difference. I found the trackpad
\nmuch easier
\nto use to surf the menus and internet compared to the track ball, which
\nwas
\nmore susceptible to breaking. <\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The BlackBerry Bold 9700 comes with a slew
\nof standard
\nfeatures to explore. First off, the 9700 uses the newer BlackBerry OS
\n5.0
\nversion to enhance navigation speed with in the menu features and
\nbrowser.
\nAlthough the BlackBerry browser is still comparatively slower than that
\nof the
\niPhone or Android models, it is definitely under renovations for
\nimprovement.
\nIn addition, the Bold 9700 is capable of streaming videos from mobile
\nYouTube
\nover the 3G, although a bit choppy, very impressive. The 9700 is also
\nequipped
\nwith a standard WiFi connection, quad-band world roaming, visual voice
\nmail,
\nand Bluetooth. Furthermore, the smart phone is integrated with noise
\nsuppression technology promising clear audio performance. The Bold 9700
\nis also
\nequipped with a hands-free speakerphone, headset capability, and
\nintegrated
\nmicrophone. The battery is a 1500 mAh removable\/rechargeable
\ncryptographic
\nlithium cell with approximately 6 hours of talk time and an impressive
\n22 days
\nstandby time. This beats out its predecessor by 1.5 hours of talk time
\nand 8.5
\ndays standby. <\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The BlackBerry Bold 9700 is sure to be a
\ncrowd pleaser for
\nsmart phone enthusiasts, and in terms of price, a great update for a
\nBlackBerry
\nmodel. Be sure to check out some other AT&T
