I just bought one 5 years after recording this vid. Why? Because it absolutely seem like the best solution for people who doesn't want any of the touchscreen nonsence.
I already got the bold and I love it. I don't have my box for the iPhone, I just accepted the fact that its gone haha. This bold is wayy better than the iPhone, I don't miss it at all. The iPhone is out in the snow somewhere.
@croquet94 yeah, i have the same question, and also the spacing of the keys on the keyboard is very small cuz all the keys are very close to each other
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!
im a 13 year old boy and i really want a phone for texting, web browsing, long battery life, youtube, facebook, and loottsss of media (music, videos...). ive had an iphone 3gs since february and now it is starting to fail (eg it freezes, apps wont work well), so i wanna change it. do you reccomend the bold 9700 for me? i really like it. and btw what apps does the blackberry have and how does the appstore work? is it the same system as on the iphone?
i have the 8900... it could do UMA calling? i dont pay anything extra. it just connects to my wifi whenever i'm home. and i get this in the mail later today/tomorrow ;D
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!
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 (;
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)
@deptic2111 i have one, liked it...but hated it when i couldn't transfer my contacts, all at a time, from phone to sim card to use it on an other phone. you have to do it one by one...
Ok so ppl im thinking of getting either a iPhone which is expansive or aa BBB9700 which isnt that expansive, can you guys tell me why this phone is great and maybe why it beats iPhone? Tnx ;]
@TomoRobo92 I just broke my 3gs, and i loved the iphone. But at the same time i really didnt use much of the apps, had no games. And i kinda like the mature look on the bold. I hate buying a new phone...
this is 1000000 times better =) more expensive obviously, but if quality is what u want, the 9700 is the way to go. it's actually the best blackberry phone out there... hands down
100 usd and yeah it is real. Here in Canada they give you deals if you sign contracts with them, which is what I had to do. If you're looking into getting a phone get the 9700, best phone I've ever had.
Watch the signal bars from 6:50 to 7:03. They go down as the reviewer grips the phone. So why did Senator Schumer demand a fix from Apple but not Blackberry? (He should be focusing on other things in the first place!) Also, why did Apple get such a rap from large media outlets, but others didn't?
@janreb22 I had the curve 3g and now i have the bold 9700 and the only real difference that i noticed is that the bolds camera has flash lol(of course the bold has better battery life and little stuff like that) but if you mind no flash just get the curve 3g and save some money.
