I just got this phone. It's amazing! BTW, thank you so much for posting this video. Without people like you we wouldn't know what to get. What you guys do is invaluable. There is no way we can get that kind of insight on any device by spending 5 minutes with some sales guy at a phone store So thank you.
just got this device,,it is the best blackberry to date. the battery life is sick, super long, the frets on the keyboard speeds up anybody's typing, the display is great and the phone just feels and looks solid and expensive. i love it
I got myself a blackberry bold 9700, I have never used blackberries before, extremely easy to understand, 3g in my country (Dominican Republic) super fast, my provider let's me use it as moden with my laptop. Super reliable, nothing to complain about!!!
I recently bought the 9700, It is truly a great phone. Browsing is not as bad as some may think, once used to the browser you can get around as quickly as any other. I have tried the iphone, also good but I prefer the BB overall.
I reckon it's stupid but I've got to ask: how is the (pic) gallery handled??Because all my previous fones (even the gooood ones) became too slow while I was going through the stuff. I tend to download a great amount of pics & music and even though that's not why I want to buy this fone for, I just know I'm going to end up w/ full stuffed memory anyway. So that would be my Q. Thanks for understanding I guess? peace x
i just wana thank you for the video cos i could not find another video on ere which shows u the software on the phone, ive not had one before. so thanks. im subscribing.
I just got this phone. Love it. My first BB. But when I try to send a text, it says "network out of order." Do I have to call at&t to help with the problem?
I need an answer quite quick! apart from the trackpad what makes this different from the bb bold 9000 ??? I'm getting a Blackberry soon so I want to know
@michael79331 What apps do you have on yours? I've had my bold for 4 months and the only time it ever froze was when I downloaded some free tethering app, once I uninstalled it it worked fine ever since... Thing never freezes, battery lasts 3 days (and I use it as my mp3 player) and it uses my wifi as a signal so I always have full bars. I love my blackberry to death.
I have one. I bought it unlocked and use a company called simple mobile. Unlimited talk n text for $40, cheapest here in LA, but has good service. The 9700 is a little outdated yes, but this phone performs and is very good looking. I love having a little keyboard.
which one is better the blackberry bold , the tour , the curve or the storm 2 and which one is the newest ? please answer thanks or shoul i get a droid or iphone ?
Question for anyone that already had at&t and upgraded your old phone to a blackberry bold 9700. How much did it cost to upgrade because i wanna do that in a couple days
@geokavalakatt well I am in Delhi.I did go to chroma but they did not have a live Storm with them but only bold and I wanted to have both in hands and compare.. Was in Gurgaon and managed to go into a shop dealing exclusively with BB.. And Storm felt much better in hand than Bold to me.. so went for it.. And love it.. its very nice... Thanks a lot.
can you still use this blackberry if you dont have the at&t or tmobile service on it???i mean i know you cant make calls but would it still work or turn on without either service???
I really want a blackberry phone but dont know which style to get,, i am stuck between the bold 9000, bold 9700 and the storm, if uve got any advise plz say tnx
@Nederland111 every one has its own view on it , i have it and im pretty happy with it , this phone is for serious ppl its not for playing , my opinion the best business phone out there
@babyboic1 Don't you regret buying the 9700 so fast when the 9780 is coming out soon? A friend is selling a 9700 aswell for a good price and I want to buy it but can't help but thinking that the 9780 is a lot better...Although the price can't be beat that he's asking for the 9700.
wen u pay for an app in the app world is it just like itunes? or does it go on ur monthly bill bc im switching frm iphone 4 ive had soo many probs with it so if any 1 could answer my question tht would b great :)
hey guys can you help me out ...i am little confused between nokia e71 and the blackberry 9700...which one should i pick ??...i just think that the fact that e71 will have tons of software over the net and also its 10 hr talktime gives it an edge over the blackberry ...
had my one for 2 weeks now and like many others my trackpad sunk in. does not bother me much as it still works but i will buy a new trackpad and replace it myself. Other than that i love this phone dearly. its the best cell phone that i've ever owned.
@SvabaGeneral Click the blackberry icon (the icon left of the trackpad) and then it will bring you too your blackberry menu where you should see all of your icons. The icon for the web browser is already installed and it will appear as a gray globe with a orange arrow going around it.
Anyone considering this phone - stop considering and get it. Brilliant piece of kit - does everything you want and more. Stock theme is a bit bland - the Reflect7 Carbon 9700 theme enhances the phone 100% - recommended! after a phone with a physical keyboard - this is it! 10/10
hey iv just got this phone, how do i use the unlock/lock key on the top plz? and how can i delete the pre loaded songs, pictures and videos cos when i click the blackberry button to go into the menu a delete option isn't available.
9360 is waaaay newer and more updated. However I love my 9780 Bold. Super loud speaker, long battery life, reliabilty,...just perfect. I heard the 9360 has many issues and bugs though still very good.
@TheLouis3877 9000 for larger screen and trackball.... 9700 for slightly smaller screen than the 9000 and with new age trackpad. These are the visible changes between both.
best phone!!!! i think battery life is great can go with 2 days with 1 charge and thats with normal usage like calls, emails, browser, music ect. i would really recomend people getting this phone

dude! its just like adding all the best features of the past blackberries put together!
just got this device,,it is the best blackberry to date. the battery life is sick, super long, the frets on the keyboard speeds up anybody's typing, the display is great and the phone just feels and looks solid and expensive. i love it
i have the 9000 and got the 9700 as soon as it came out. it is the bes!..right size, sophisticated, light and user friendly!

I've had this phone for about a week now, I love it. navigating is very easy and the browser is also pretty fast
I like watching these videos for nostalgia
This phone is truly phenomenal. I`ve already purchased it under Bell.

Just got it, switched from Iphone for 1.5 years, love it!
@LnknPark291 hiya m8 could you tell me if it has an equalizer in the music options? and is it really loud because i LOVE the music pumping in my ear.

@Jubbbbb thanx man !!!!but the thing is that e72 isnt available on AT&T only e71 is ...in this case what would you suggest??
@tetra3000 hey... did u decide on which one?? i am kinda facing the same problem... both has its attractions...
What system does the BlackBerry operate with? Is it based on the Linux kernel or what is it? Looks nice btw.
I remeber watching this last year and now ive got one :)
@icarefor2010 yes, it is remarkably simple. it doesn't use itunes, but still syncs your itunes music and playlists using bb desktop manager for mac
Got mine yesterday. it ROCKS!
This or the n97 mini in white? I'm looking for a nice deisgn, easy keyboard, fast browsing and a decent camera. Any advice? Thanks :)
Please Answer!! So I'm thinking of getting this or Mytouch, which data plan would be cheaper??????????????

Great phone, but what is with the video editing at 3:40 when loading a web page?
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?
Do you need internet in your plan so your bbm pin can work .? or just with the phone ?
I have one. I bought it unlocked and use a company called simple mobile. Unlimited talk n text for $40, cheapest here in LA, but has good service. The 9700 is a little outdated yes, but this phone performs and is very good looking. I love having a little keyboard.
Not on AT&t yet...do you know when???
@TheGalleos No i dont xP i live in Holland. Is it the same thing in the UK then??

just got the bold 9000 a couple of weeks ago. I like the trackball more than the trackpad. it's less jumpy

@itzthaREALdeal hi. does the facebook app come with this phone when you buy it?
I so love this phone.

@Dillon1108 u can change the trackpad sensitivity on the 9700..
@jageagustin
Yea, the front one is really tiny right next to the LED indicator.
See it?
I have a BB 8900 and I am on youtube often via WIFI. Never a problem.

I really want a blackberry phone but dont know which style to get,, i am stuck between the bold 9000, bold 9700 and the storm, if uve got any advise plz say tnx
@radiopigers what makes the 9700 better?
@Nederland111 every one has its own view on it , i have it and im pretty happy with it , this phone is for serious ppl its not for playing , my opinion the best business phone out there

@usherc902 how is the battery does it last more than a day if ur often on it?
if im connected to my wifi network and i browse the internet does it use up my MB of internet?
This is like my IDEAL phone. Its freaking awesome!! Prefer this to the iPhone and maybe the Palm Pre
E72 comparison please? any ideas on which is better?
are you getting it at an actual t-mobile store? If so, they won't sell it to you or charge you tons more for it.
@babyboic1
Don't you regret buying the 9700 so fast when the 9780 is coming out soon? A friend is selling a 9700 aswell for a good price and I want to buy it but can't help but thinking that the 9780 is a lot better...Although the price can't be beat that he's asking for the 9700.
It has navigation incorporated?
Why can't I find this phone on AT&T's website???
Can this blackberry upgrade to OS 6? Some say yes others say no? Quite confused here.
wen u pay for an app in the app world is it just like itunes? or does it go on ur monthly bill bc im switching frm iphone 4 ive had soo many probs with it so if any 1 could answer my question tht would b great :)
So would the 9700 be able to play youtube?
@SuperCherryboomboom
and did you got it, how is it are you pleased?
can you use the phone as a door stopper, or grenade?
Does this have a memory card slot? There's people saying there is no micro sd slot in the BlackBerry 9700! could someone tell me please?
silent key is nonsense its only used to pause during mp3 player... do u know if its possible to adjust it
hey guys can you help me out ...i am little confused between nokia e71 and the blackberry 9700...which one should i pick ??...i just think that the fact that e71 will have tons of software over the net and also its 10 hr talktime gives it an edge over the blackberry ...

had my one for 2 weeks now and like many others my trackpad sunk in. does not bother me much as it still works but i will buy a new trackpad and replace it myself. Other than that i love this phone dearly. its the best cell phone that i've ever owned.
hey guys... i was wondering, can this phone sync to a Mac??? including iTunes.
@SvabaGeneral Click the blackberry icon (the icon left of the trackpad) and then it will bring you too your blackberry menu where you should see all of your icons. The icon for the web browser is already installed and it will appear as a gray globe with a orange arrow going around it.
i want to buy this .iam bored with my iphone 4..but can i use this as an access point u know wireless modem like?
What do you guys think -- MyTouch 3G or BlackBerry Bold 9700?
Anyone considering this phone - stop considering and get it. Brilliant piece of kit - does everything you want and more. Stock theme is a bit bland - the Reflect7 Carbon 9700 theme enhances the phone 100% - recommended! after a phone with a physical keyboard - this is it! 10/10
@TheEvengard What country??
hey iv just got this phone, how do i use the unlock/lock key on the top plz? and how can i delete the pre loaded songs, pictures and videos cos when i click the blackberry button to go into the menu a delete option isn't available.

BlackBerry Bold 9700 is the best blackberry, best size, most powerful and advanced blackberry yet but also the most expensive unfortunatly.
im getting it this weekend sooooooooo EXCITED :D
9360 is waaaay newer and more updated. However I love my 9780 Bold. Super loud speaker, long battery life, reliabilty,...just perfect. I heard the 9360 has many issues and bugs though still very good.
im confused, i have the 3gs and i want to buy a new phone, im stuck between bb bold 9700 and n97. please heelp

@TheLouis3877 9000 for larger screen and trackball....
9700 for slightly smaller screen than the 9000 and with new age trackpad.
These are the visible changes between both.
