A newer cell phone – the BlackBerry Bold 9700 offers the functionalities like a camera with 3.2MP Resolution, 250MB flash memory, and QWERTY keypad either.
This series also having display resolution like 2.44in, 480 x 360, QWERTY keypad, integrated GPS, and Bluetooth wireless networking, microSD/SDHD memory card support, the phone also offers a speakerphone and background noise-suppressing technology for clearer calls.
This series will be available in two versions two work with different carriers (both with UMTS/HSDPA and quad-band EDGE/GPRS/GSM), and will support Wi-Fi based caling via UMA where available.
The BlackBerry Bold 9700 comes with BlackBerry OS 5.0, enabling full HTML Web browsing, calendar and contact management, and integration with corporate email systems like Microsoft Exchange. It can also tap into BlackBerry App World—so BlackBerry users can get apps just like those flighty iPhone people—and a media player that can sync (via BlackBerry Media Sync) with iTunes or Windows Media Player—RIM says the BlackBerry Bold 9700 can play up to 38 hours of music on a single battery charge.
The producer – RIM says the BlackBerry Bold 9700 will be available in November, but didn’t offer any pricing information. Carriers are coming forward, however: AT&T plans to launch the 9700 soon for $199 after a $100 mail-in rebate, with a new two year service agreement.
Pre-release review time! Rumors of the BlackBerry device model with the codename "Onyx" have been floating around for a while now and were proven legit when the first photos of it surfaced here at CrackBerry back on May 10th.
Soon after going hands-on with the Onyx, I think it's safe to say THIS IS the traditional (no touchscreen) BlackBerry smartphone so many of us have been waiting for. It always seems that every new BlackBerry smartphone makes a compromise somewhere on its specifications and feature sheet - be it the Bold's camera, or the Curve 8900's lack of 3G, or the Tour 9630's lack of WiFi, or the Storm's lack of memory and snappy OS.
