The very latest from the Research In Motion factory, the BlackBerry Bold 9700 in white is a beauty!

Taking everything that made the original Bold so popular and fixing the few bits that didn't work, means that this version is as thoroughly reliable as possible and yet a joy to use and behold.

Smaller & lighter than its predecessor at just 122g and measuring a mere 109 x 60 x 14.1mm, the handset manages yet again to cram a lot inside such a small, light shell. The 2.4-inch display offers 480x360 pixel resolution for ultimate clarity and usability in all lights.

One of the main differences in use is that this phone uses a touch pad rather than the roller ball to navigate the menu system. The latest software version comes pre-loaded, making a refreshing change from anyone who was used to the old version. A whopping 5 hours talk time and 15 days standby can be achieved from the 1500mAh battery - enough for most business users we reckon.

Other useful features included with the Bold 9700 include 3.5G support, WiFi and GPS, a full multi-media player, a 3.5mm audio socket and microSD expandable memory. The 3.2Mp camera has auto focus, flash and supports geo-tagging.

High Resolution display

Featuring a large, hi-res screen that displays over 65,000 colors. Creating a vivid viewing experience for all your photos, videos, files and websites.

Trackpad Navigation

Access what's important with trackpad navigation based on how laptops are designed. Glide your finger over the trackpad to scroll through menus and icons. A slight press and click lets you select an item to navigate where you want to go.

Multimedia

Enjoy music on your Bold 9700, videos, photos and documents in great color and sound. Easily sync data and audio files from your desktop to the handset, and get up to 35 hours of music playback time.

No compromises
With email, phone, IM and the Internet, it can connect you. With an integrated organiser, it can help you stay on top of your day. With camera and video recording, you can capture and share the moment with just a few clicks. And that's just the beginning.

Superior performance
The smartphone's support for tri-band HSDPA and enterprise-grade Wi-Fi (802.11a/b/g) networks and its next-generation mobile processor make short work of downloading email attachments, streaming video or rendering web pages. The handset also includes 256 MB Flash memory plus 1 GB on-board storage memory, as well as a microSD/SDHC memory card slot that is conveniently accessible from a side door. It comes with the renowned BlackBerry productivity applications, including phone, email, messaging, organiser and browser, and works with thousands of mobile business and lifestyle applications, making it easier than ever to stay connected, productive and entertained. With this powerful new smartphone, users can even talk on the phone while sending and receiving email or accessing the web, and download Word, Excel or PowerPoint files and edit them directly on the handset using the preloaded DataViz Documents to Go suite.

Stunning display
The smartphone comes with the most vivid and bold display ever introduced on a smartphone. Its half-VGA (480x360 resolution) colour LCD is fused to the undersurface of the lens, making images leap out with stunning definition and clarity. Pictures are vibrant and razor sharp, while videos play smoothly and web pages, documents, presentations and messages snap with exceptional quality and contrast.

Desktop-style web pages
With its newly enhanced, high performance browser and high-resolution, ultra-bright display, the Bold 9700 smartphone gives users an on-the-go web browsing experience with desktop-style depiction. The trackpad mimics a mouse, making it easy to navigate sites in 'Page View' or 'Column View' or to zoom in on specific parts of a web page, while various emulation settings allow users to choose between the full desktop-style HTML content and layout or the mobile version. Attachments can also now be downloaded from within the browser and there is support for watching streaming videos (RTSP real-time streaming protocol).

Rich multimedia
While it is designed to meet the extensive requirements of the business professional during the day, the BlackBerry smartphone also caters to the business person's consumer side during evenings and weekends. It features a 3.2 megapixel camera with video recording capability, built-in flash and 5x digital zoom. The enhanced media player can display pictures and slideshows quickly, play movies smoothly in full screen mode, and manage an entire music collection. Audio can be played over the handset’s dual speakers in rich, stereo sound, and when using wired headphones or external speakers, the media player gives the user an equalizer with 11 preset filters, like 'Lounge', 'Jazz' and 'Hip Hop',that boost or soften audio ranges to create the perfect ambiance.

Powerful WiFi and GPS
For even broader high-speed network coverage, the 9700 smartphone supports the 802.11 a/b/g Wi-Fi standards, ideal for use in enterprise or campus wireless LAN deployments, over Wi-Fi hotspots and on wireless home networks. A new "Push Button Setup" is included, making it faster for users to connect to protected wireless networks that require a sign on process.

Through its integrated GPS, it can pinpoint its exact location, supporting applications like BlackBerry Maps and other location-based applications or services. With its improved rendering capabilities, faster download speeds and ability to support simultaneous voice and data, the smartphone even allows users to navigate while on a call.

First class phone
The smartphone features a new acoustic design that increases the size of the phone's audio sweet spot, improving listening quality and clarity. It also comes with numerous premium phone features including Speaker Independent Voice Recognition (SIVR) for Voice Activated Dialing (VAD), Bluetooth 2.1, with support for hands-free headsets, stereo headsets, car kits (including car kits that adhere to the Bluetooth Remote SIM Access Profile) and other Bluetooth peripherals. It is a quad-band EDGE and tri-band HSDPA handset that supports global roaming and features dedicated 'send', 'end', and 'mute' keys, smart dialing, speed dialing, conference calling and call forwarding. It also features noise cancellation technology that offsets background noise, a powerful speaker phone and support for polyphonic, mp3 and MIDI ring tones.
