See all BlackBerry 9700 Bold reviews
“RIM's BlackBerry devices have a reputation for being amazing email devices, and using the 9700 its easy to see why. An almost perfect front facing keyboard that manages to be small and compact yet easy to type one, easy email setup that flawlessly pushes emails to your phone the moment they arrive & phenomenal battery life. The 9700 will keep on going long after most phones have given up. But RIM have also been quietly beefing up the 9700's other skills. You get a good music and video player and even apps that let you check your Facebook and Twitter accounts.”
