BlackBerry Bold 9700 Unlocked GSM 3G World Phone w/ Full Keyboard - Black

This phone is great for someone like me who needs to switch sim cards while traveling. It works everywhere and I get my email wherever I am. The screen is not too big, but not too small and vibrant. At first I didn't like the new trackball, but after a week of using it, it is so much better than the old trackball that would get stuck, and not point where you wanted.The biggest drawback is setup. You have to get the blackberry service in some country first. The old blackberry's would let you just have internet and run everything from that. Now you have to get the BB internet service from a provider for the Gmail and other email accounts come up. This can be expensive, but the service is great when you have it.All in all, I would recommend this to anyone who can use a smartphone to simplify their life. It never stops and needs a restart like windows machines, and offers better security than droid.

What I can say about a Blackberry, it's just perfect.just opened the box, plugged the battery and the sim card and it started to work.After few wizard screens I could make some calls and browse the web.It's very easy to setup an e-mail account.This phone is unlocked, so I just inserted my sim card and worked fine.The quality of the voice are fantastic! and the keyboard is designed in a way that your fingers can hit the correct key, making your type better and faster. It's amazing the way that your thumb fits the letters.The cam can take nice pics, but it's just 3mp , if you are a maniac for pics, I would recommend another smartphone/BB model with 5mp or higher (if exists).The screen has a nice quality.I tottaly recommend this cell.

It's my first Blackberry and I was a little afraid about some bad reviews... but this BB works for me wonderfully. I love the keypad, the screen is nice and after some days getting used to the BB world, I'm totally addict. I don't use it for work, only to get in touch via BBM with my friends all over the worlds as I don't leave in my country, and it is perfect for me. The applications work fast, the battery last a good 2 days if I use the phone a lot, and 3 days if not.I don't know how I was living without it before ;-)

First off, I love BlackBerry. Wife and Kids use iPhone, not me. I need my BB. Anyway, the phone came in a BB box with a manual and a charger and looks like it was never used. Beautiful phone. Absolutely lovely. Battery was completely toast. wouldn't charge, phone wouldn't power up. After 3 days ordered a new battery. This is OK with me, the quality of the used phone more than made up for this detail, and hey, now I have a new battery! I have been using Curve models with the trackball for years. This is my first Bold. Screen is nice. bright and clear. WiFi works ok. The thing is the keyboard. The keys are all stuck together, where as in the Curve they were spaced apart. See photo. Curve is red, Bold is Black. I'll try and get used to it by with my fat fingers it is hard to type on this Bold.

I did not pay attention to all reviews and I bought it and now I'm regret of it. All accessories were used, it didn't bring the 2GB memory card that was advertised. Its a Tmobile phone (it was not commented in the page) so you can not use it with any other carrier on 3G. I wrote to Buying It and they send me a 2GB memory after but I could not get the change of the Tmobile by an ATT phone, so I'm never going to be able to use 3G bands just Edge. So every time you buy a phone be careful because you could be punished to work on Edge all the time.

Excellent phone. A fusion of my old 8900 and a Bold 9000!Pros:Size (Almost as small as the 8900)Fast 3G phoneVoice qualityClassy design (a beauty!)Fast and responsive OSMore internal memory for programsBattery life is WoW!!! (incredible! best in a blackberry!)Screen is awsome! (colors and res)Camera is excellent (although no improvement here from 8900, but big improvement from BOLD 9000)Cons:Keyboard take some time to get use to. But once you get use to the keyboard you'll feel right at home

I recently bought this phone from Worldwide Distributors. In the Technical details of the product it clearly states "Quad-band GSM cell phone compatible with 850/900/1800/1900 frequencies and US/International 3G compatibility via 800/850/1900/2100/ 1700/2100 MHz, UMTS/HSDPA plus GPRS/EDGE capabilities" The phone I received is not compatible with all 3G bands as stated. I got a T-Mobile phone which works with 3G bands 1, 4, 8; that is equal to 2100, 1700, and 900 and does not work with 1900 my operator 3G band, also does not work with 800 and 850 as stated in the Tech details. So I bought a 3G phone that does not work in 3G which is equal to a 450USD paper weight. Needless to say I am surprised that Amazon been a company of such high reputation allows sellers to publish such false and misleading advertisement. If that wasn't enough Worldwide Distributors return policy clearly states "Cell phones may only be returned for refund within 3 days if they have been unopened and all original seals are intact." You will need to open the box and turn the phone on in order to see frequency with which it works, so this means, screw you, we will not accept the return of the phone. Last but not least, should you happen to know which operator works with which frequency, they have this little pearl in the return policy "Buyers are responsible for network, GSM band, and Carrier compatibility, including internet browsing, picture and text messaging functionality which are not guaranteed." Double screw you, you just paid 450USD for a paper weight and you are stuck with it. Worldwide Distributors you SUCK and I will make sure that everyone I know knows about this, and AMAZON ignorance is not an excuse.....

Great phone

Très bon rapport qualité prix. Livraison demande quelques semaines mais ça vaut le coup. On peut remplacer le OS par version 6.

I've just got the 9700, it was a bit of an odd choice for me,i'd usually be looking for the latest gimmicks and gadgets but having realised I usually get fed up playing with the phone after the first few hours and getting annoyed with battery life, call quality, e-mail, reliability etc, I went for something different and am I glad I did!The 9700 does exactly what I want and what it's supposed to do it does to prefection! The battery is fantastic, so easy and quick to type on, call quality is superb and get's a fantasic 3G signal where all my other phones have failed miserably,.I feel I should have picked a Blackberry earlier, I'm not really sold on big, touch screen devices, I certainly can't type anywhere near as fast on a touch screen as this Blackberry, clicking on links etc is so much easier with the trackpad.I'd also highly recommend one of these which compliments the 9700 perfectly. This Blackberry just works. Beautifully.

Dont buy it its just a month and it stoped workingAnd they dont cover warranty to get serviced

Je n'ai pas pu garder le téléphone , mais c'est une boite sérieuse qui fait tout son possible pour nous satisfaire. Vous pouvez leur faire confiance les yeux fermés !
