BlackBerry Bold 9700 T-Mobile Review

Score: 37.5 / 100

BlackBerry Bold 9700 T-Mobile is a low end phone launched in October 2009, packed with a 3.2 MP back facing camera and a 2.4-inches screen. We will get a better idea about this device's specs when we get into more details.

This time, it seems like Blackberry decided not to care much about the weight in this 4.3 oz phone. This device is a bit thick for current standards, being as thick as 0.56". This cellphone isn't a compact device, taking into account that it is 4.29 inches long and 2.36 inches wide,but it just packs a 2.4" screen.

Blackberry packed this phone with a nice 2.4" screen, and a 360 x 480 resolution, providing this phone with a nice image quality.

This phone features Wi-Fi connection (although it can't be shared with other devices as a mobile hotspot) and the fastest 3G internet connection, using HSDPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This phone works with a SIM card for GSM services.

This device only has a 3.2 mega-pixels back camera. This camera also includes some nice characteristics: flash, digital image stabilization and auto-focus.

The BlackBerry Bold 9700 T-Mobile also comes with a couple of cool features as Bluetooth and GPS (Global Positioning System), and Light Sensor.

This cellphone packs a medium 1500 mAh Li-Ion removable battery that provides this phone a below average battery life comparing with other similar phones. Blackberry afirms this device has a talk time of 6 hours and a stand by time of 456 hs.
