Blackberry Bold 9700 User Reviews…

My view of this product is as per Peter Haydon’s review. It’s excellent.
However, I just wanted to add a few things:

1. The battery life on this device is outstanding. It arrived on Tuesday and it is now Friday evening and the phone is still on 20% battery – even after the compulsory ‘new gadget’ constant fiddling. Battery performance usually improves after a few charge/discharge cycles, so I can only see it improving.

2. Unfortunately, the phone doesn’t work with my Nokia CK-7W bluetooth automobile kit. The phone and automobile kit pair together nicely, but the caller hears a horrible reflexion on their end of the line. Having had a look around on Google, it seems that this is a common problem with Blackberrys and Nokia automobile kits with no real solution (the ‘echo control’ option on the handset did nothing). As a result, I think I’m going to have to get a new non-Nokia automobile kit. This isn’t a huge problem as I’m evenhandedly confident in DIY / automobile electronics and a new kit isn’t too expensive, but if you’d have to pay someone to fit a new kit, bourgeois the extra expense into the equation.

3. As mentioned in Peter’s review, the ‘Google Sync’ app is superb. All of my contacts from Google / Gmail and my calendar entries were loaded onto the phone in a couple of minutes. No errors, no hassle. You can then set it to auto-sync each two hours or manually, as you wish.

I purchased this to use with an O2 SIM-only ‘Simplicity’ tariff. The option to select a Blackberry bolt-on isn’t listed on their website, but you can swap any standard bolt-on for the ‘Blackberry Unlimited’ bolt-on. Just call up customer services and they transfer it over overnight.

 

Blackberry Bold 9700 – I went for something different and am I glad I did!

I’ve just got the Blackberry Bold 9700, it was a bit of an odd choice for me,

i’d usually be looking for the latest gimmicks and gadgets but having realised I usually get fed up playing with the phone after the first few hours and getting annoyed with battery life, call quality, e-mail, reliability etc, I went for something different and am I glad I did!

The Blackberry Bold 9700 does exactly what I want and what it’s supposed to do it does to prefection! The battery is fantastic, so simple and swift to type on, call calibre is superb and get’s a fantasic 3G signal where all my other phones have unsuccessful miserably,.

I feel I should have picked a Blackberry earlier, I’m not really sold on big, touch screen devices, I certainly can’t type anywhere near as fast on a touch screen as this Blackberry, clicking on links etc is so much easier with the trackpad.

I’d also highly advocate one of these which compliments the Blackberry Bold 9700 perfectly. BlackBerry Blackberry Bold 9700/8900 Leather Pocket – Black

This Blackberry just works. Beautifully.
