The BlackBerry Bold 9700 White is stylish but professional-looking smartphone that fulfills all the demands placed on a modern communications device and organiser. To begin with, the BlackBerry Bold 9700 White measures 109 x 60 x 14mm and weighs 122g, accomodating a full QUERTY keyboard which is one of the much-loved trademarks of a BlackBerry, and they have certainly put the width to good use with a 2.44” size TFT display showing in 65K colours.
480 x 360 pixels give you all the space you need to view all of the important personal files you keep on your BlackBerry Bold 9700 White, through the natively-built applications which come loaded and ready to use on the handset.
The BlackBerry OS (5.0) comes pre-installed, with apps supporting a wide range of apps including BlackBerry Maps; a document editor handling all popular document types today including Word, Excel, PowerPoint and PDF; a comprehensive media player offering playback in many file types such as MP3, WMA, AAC+, and in video, DivX, WMV, XviD, and 3gp… an Organiser which integrates with the Calendar, and a Voice memo/dial function allows the user to take notes on the go using no extra equipment but the BlackBerry Bold 9700 White.
The CPU is a 624MHz processor which is more than ample for the connectivity and capacity requirements of the Blackberry Bold 9700 White, and with an HTML Browser with Java MIDP 2.0 and messaing in SMS (threaded view), MMS, Email and IM, the BlackBerry Bold 9700 White outdoes itself in communications.
A touch-sensitive optical trackpad offers a simple yet powerful form of navigation, ensuring that the Bold 9700 White is easy to use. Alert tones with vibration and MP3 ringtone choices extend the user-friendliness to the potential for personalisation, as does the card slot for memory (microSD) which allows you to add up to 16GB memory to this BlackBerry handset.
The BlackBerry Bold 9700 White operates on the 2G network and the 3G network, and has support for GPRS, EDGE, WLAN Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g (UMA), Bluetooth v2.1 with A2DP and a microUSB port v2.0.
The 3.15MP (2048 x 1536 pixels) camera in the BlackBerry Bold 9700 comes with an image stabilisation feature which helps immensely to capture a crisp, clear image in any situation – but especially in busy areas, in moving transport, and in low-light conditions (the LED flash is handy here too, as is autofocus). Video filming is also supported.
The BlackBerry Bold 9700 White has a battery life of up to 408h standby time or 6h talk time, A-GPS support for those times when you really need to keep track of your whereabouts, comes with the colour choices of black or white, and (for the kid inside!) Bold 9700 White offers games plus many more games downloadable, putting the icing on the cake for this handset as an ideal choice for work and for play, for the office or for home.
