May 13, 2010 By 25 Comments

my video crashes though.
@monsterassult666 i think you should get The 9700 because its a great phone you can even get more info on a website TYPE ON GOOGLE (GSM-ARENA)
Question, I have an iphone 3g, i love it, but i have a chance to get a bold 9700, SO what should I do? keep the iphone or get the 9700?, if anyone could help, that would be great!
@Akyy1994 no cos if you did manage to turn it off you wouldnt be able to navigate..
cand the optical pad be turned off?
@johnt915 you’re just stupid…why compare it to fucking android? if a phone doesn’t have android,isn’t good? go fuck yourself…
to BONJIgirl91 bb is much better and more features if u dont use the camera that much
So i just brought my BB last week and after downloading desktop manager the lock button don’t work like before. Now when I press the lock button, it uses the keyboard lock it goes all black like standby. And when i press the standby button it does nothing?
Any way to change this back? I have it set for password lock when I holster it, but would like the lock button to do the same (as it used to).
I’m new at blackberry’s so i really hope someone can help me out (;
Blackberry 9700 Bold or Nokia E72??
Please help me!
pretty cool phone but this cannot be compared with androids
@seaboo143 3gs
hey guys i will be replacing my old phone soon, so i am asking for your help on which phone i should get.. blackberry bold 9700 or iphone 3gs or htc hd2.. i need your opinions.. thanks
You must be joking! Just wait until your screen/display/Lcd goes! Blackberry have you over a barrel and you will always be blamed for the fault….you’ve dropped it., sat on it, lent it to someone who has done this etc etc…….
Rubbish, garbage, crap!
*looong sigh*…………soon my love….soon
i have that phone and it’s awesome
I was an iPhone 3G user before, I was considering getting the iPhone 3GS but considered the Bold 9700. From there, I can’t stop using my device. Its fast, really fast than the iPhone, easier to navigate, very intuitive, and very beautiful. Its sexy, and has an atiitude not like the iPhone.
blackberry bold 9700 or cliq xt which should i get
@imafuckinfanatic that too, lol. :/ well…yeah, that too :/
@AllStarDeal79 its on at&t too
hmm i think i MIGHT just want this phone! BUT i CAN NOT switch to t-mobile.
I’m a dedicated iPhone user.
And would prefer the iPhone over all.
But this phone is just different.
I think the 3GS and the 9700 cannot be compared.
They both have their unique things.
And after using the 9700 for a while I can tell that I like the phone too.
So I could surely recommend the 9700.
Plus the apps load much faster than on the iPhone, although the apps on the iPhone have more quantity.
So if you’re an app user go for iPhone, if you just like texting and AIM go fo 9700.
To the owners, is it really worth this phone? I have a 8520 and I’d like to know…thanks
exact same situation ive had all the iphones and just looking into this phone.
I dont know but youre not the only person on youtube that i’ve seen considering switching from a full touchscreen to blackberry. Just when you think the world is going all touchscreen you see many people now switching to BB. (from android too)
I have an iPhone 3GS, and I’m really considering getting a 9700, I’ve had every other iPhone before the 3GS and I feel it’s time for a change….. Please reply if you’ve switched from the iphone. Thanks!
