this is a cool phone. i have used NOKIA N70 as my first highend phone, then switched to N95, then E71 and now BB bold 9700! i would say performance is much better than any NOKIA product, at least if I compare battery life, reception, audio, display and all over the build quality. i will recommend my friends to buy this phone!
I'd been wanting to get either this or 3GS. It's my first time to get BB phone if ever but before I do so, I want something cleared first. It's about BIS plan. We don't have BIS plan yet in our country. Now, if you don't subscribe for a BIS plan, is it true that you CANNOT send/receive e-mails or have instant messaging (i.e. YMessenger) on the phone? OR is it only referring on the up to the minute e-mail service (same like PUSH e-mail) that WILL NOT be available if you don't have BIS plan? Say you'll just surf the internet or open your e-mail on a regular internet browser like opera mobile or internet explorer, is it still possible or not? I hope I'm making a point here and not sounding too dumb, I'm just not sure what this BIS plan is.. I'd appreciate anyone's help, thanks...

Chalak Lomdi, 30 Dec 2009Why Blackberry does not support frame based website...anybody?Coz Frame based sites are very 1996. A proper website really shouldn't use frames.
I think this phone is awesom i was so close to getting an iphone but am so glad i didnt! its flawless internet use is brilliant it does everything and more the copy and paste feature is wicked. the overall desighn and look of the phone is stylish the fact that its so light in wieght and small is great. This is my first bb and im deffinately converted GET THIS PHONE NOW ITS the way forward.

Ash, 30 Dec 20099700 is with buttons, Storm 2 is Touch.. depends which one you like best .. very similar funct... moreI love the bigger screen of Storm 2. I had 8900 before so I'm more reclined on Storm 2 for a change. And more people have 9700 so I think Storm will be more unique. Where in the world can't I use Storm 2? Its a CDMA handset and only 1 band 3G.
Anonymous, 28 Dec 2009Which one is better this 9700 or the 9550 Storm 2? Thanks. I will buy this new year. Cheers. 9700 is with buttons, Storm 2 is Touch.. depends which one you like best .. very similar functions... It appears that majority are going for Bold 9700. Mind you Storm has bigger screen... so your personal taste otherwise very very similar & both Great. If you like Touch phones, also have a look at HTC HD2. Super machine!!!!
Shan, 28 Dec 2009Is it better than N97 Nokia?
Fasterproccessor? and run application?
Any idea?N97 Compare to Bold 9700 is a toy...
blackberry is designed to performe best with Emails.. N97 is a General Phone. You get average of everything on it. On Blackberry you get what a business needs usually plus a bit more
i've had it since thanksgiving and i am truely amazed how great it is.it does everything a smart phone should do and in my opinion better.videos are picture perfect,music is crystal clear and i even listen to sreaming radio which im from ny,is the best cause i have so many stations to listen to.pictures,email,texting all simple and easy to do on 9700.the greatest thing by far is that i tethered my bb to my computer and so i stay online where ever i go!!! this phone is the best bb out until the next generation black berry,which i will buy when it comes!
Shan, 28 Dec 2009Is it better than N97 Nokia?
Fasterproccessor? and run application?
Any idea?Yes it has a faster Processor!
All blackberries are Basically Multi-taskers
Blackberry has APPS, mostly essential insteads on Thousands of unrealistic craps-ware for the IPhone.
