This phone looks and sounds awesome. The other thing which is bothering me a little is the weight....i.e. 122g. What do you guys say?

of course you get a better looking phone if you pay more, duh.

just got news from one of Indonesian distributors for BB, a friend of mine told me that the device will be sold in Indonesia starting on November 20th for a price of 650 US$ unlocked.... any other price info from other countries for the unlocked version?

looks like for rogers customers its going to be $299 on a 3 year plan with min $45MSF which sucks hardcore because people in down south (USA) are getting it for $199 on only a 2 year contract. Just shows you how much us canadians are getting ripped off with our wireless devices

GSMARENA says display is 2.6, but when checked at BB US site (yes 9700 posted just 4 hours back) they mention it as 2.44,same like 8900. so i guess its 2.44 correctly not 2.6. same gsmarena did for 8520...whats wrong guys?

However be careful when using 3 and roaming onto telstra as it will cost ur right arm!

@anonymous@davo! Please Guys do not compare BB'S with Nokia E71/72'S let me tell you why!
By no means thier operating systems are alike.
Nokia dose not have thier entrprz servers integrated with the service providers
BB'S have thier own unique style of bb connect.
Push e mails are the invention of bb ent-priz servs.
Now come to the devices nokia have a very nice built quality but look is there any sence of 2.36" screen size while projecting a business device, Please dont forget the crisp bright vivid screen landscape display.
Dont forget the BB's messenger buddies there are alot of people who posted thier pins on internet to make friends... lol mine is 20FECE8F.
Enough bb's now let me make you confused bb never make one allinone phone and so dose nokia,
bold9000 everything fine but poor camera, curve8900 lovely but keypad is small and no 3g, tour wow its elegent but no wifi, 9700 good flat keypad but no track ball Guys whats this .... they are Playing tricks to make business.
Now nokia look at the built quality of E71 its stunning but why didnt they put atleast 2.4" display while they had a lotttt of space Please just have a look again and the same thing with the E72 now come on Man... there are lot of engineers out there who may be more professional than the ones at nokia and bb,

Does New Blackberry Bold9700 have a noise reduction like Crystal Talk?

For a voice call, sound quality of Motorola A3100 is better than any smart phone in a noisy area eventhough it does not have a Crystal Talk.If Blackberry focus on a hardwear speaker phone with noise reduction system,it will be better than any phone.

So, does anyone have information on speaker hardwear of Nokia, Blackberry, Samsung,Philips?
