An outstanding phone and now that it's last year's model,can be easily found and purchased at great prices. DO NOT LET "LAST YEAR"S MODEL" SCARE YOU OFF. The Blackberry BOLD 9700 is a full feature SMARTPHONE with the only "limitation" being it's 3G. However, 4G service is still tough to find and 3G is readily available. Surfing the web on a cell phone, even with 4G is painfully slow. Go home and use a PC. The keyboard is super small but, the keys are shaped in such a way that it is easy to type without hitting the wrong key. The camera is extremely impressive. The photos rival digital cameras. The biggest asset is its signal grabbing ability. Unless you live in the boonies, you will always have clear communications. The quality and clarity of the audio both incoming and outgoing is the best I have found on any cell phone. Battery life is excellent, also the best I have found on any phone I have owned and I have been a cell phone user since 1985. Those claiming battery problems need to replace their battery and then learn how to properly use rechargable batteries so they don't kill their new battery. My wife's I-Phone 4 is so outperformed by my Blackberry BOLD 6700 I can't believe she bothers to keep using it. Then again I don't know why anybody bothers with Apple products and the tyrany of having to use Apple servies like I-Tunes. Buy a Blackberry, there is no "I" in the name.

This phone is awesome, nice shape, good camera shoots, nice picture display and lots of other carriers involved, it works like magic really don't see any difference between this phone and tour except the ram size cos bold 2 is 256mb while tour is 128mb so i prefer bold 2 to tour

Download the above OS file to the PC then install it to the PC by running (double clicking) the file you downloaded.
2. Go to c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader and delete the file named "vendor.xml." Vista/Win7 users: In the apploader folder, simply click on "Compatibility files" to see the actual Vendor.xml file. Once you've got that - simply delete the vendor.xml file there (even if you've deleted or think you've deleted it in the folder previously) and voila, it will allow you to update to the newly installed OS!
3. Plug in BB and double click on "Loader.exe." It's located in the same place as the above vendor.xml file.

The process takes about 45 minutes to an hour depending on how much data you have to backup and restore during the process. Once it's done loading the new OS it will reboot (it may do this twice during the entire process.) You will see a white screen with an hourglass for up to 20 minutes at a time while the AppLoader says "waiting for initialization."
If, for some reason, you end up with a white screen with small icons and the number 507, simply connect to the PC again and run Loader.exe again and it should load the OS to the device.

Enjoy!!
