BlackBerry Bold 9700 Review
(9700) Score: 37.5 / 100
BlackBerry Bold 9700 is a modest cellphone released in October 2009, coming with a 3.2 mega-pixels back side camera and a 2.4-inches display. Let's take a closer view of what this phone offers to us.
Blackberry didn't seem to put much effort to reduce weight in this 4.3 ounces device. This device isn't a very compact cellphone, taking into account that it is 4.29" long,but it just holds a 2.4" screen. This device is quite thick for today's standards, with its 0.56 inches thickness.
This phone has only a 3.2 megapixels back side camera. In addition, the camera has a couple of good characteristics like flash, digital image stabilization and auto-focus.
This cellphone has a good level 360 x 480 2.4 inches screen, making everything look very nice.
The BlackBerry Bold 9700 has wifi connection (although it can't be provided to other devices around, acting as a hotspot) and 3G fast connectivity, supported by HSDPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This cellphone works with a SIM card for GSM services.
The BlackBerry Bold 9700 counts with a good 1500 mAh Li-Ion battery, which is not really enough for a consuming phone like this. This device has an aproximate stand by time of 456 hours and a talk time of 6 hours according to Blackberry.
The BlackBerry Bold 9700 also includes a couple interesting features like Bluetooth and GPS Localization, and Light Sensor.
The BlackBerry Bold 9700 is being sold for $ 419, which is a very high price for comparing with similar devices.
