The Blackberry Bold 9700 (known as Bold 2) is very much resemble its predecessor. You get full 3G Internet, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.0, and GPS. It also uses a brilliant half-VGA (480 x 360 pixel) display and 3.2-megapixel camera which is an upgrade from the 2.0-megapixel model on the original Bold.


Blackberry Bold 9700 places the screen and QWERTY keyboard front and center, with a strip of the most commonly used controls (talk, end call, back, etc.) dividing the two, easily accessible with a thumb. On the right-hand side, a bubbled-out volume rocker and camera shutter button make it easy to access those dedicated functions.

RIM's Blackberry is known for their trackballs but by switching to an optical trackpad, it enables you to swipe your finger over the gem-shaped button center button and it acts just like the trackpad on a laptop computer.


Out of the box, the Bold 2 comes stacked with 256MB of internal memory, but RIM includes a 2GB microSD card in the built-in expansion slot. The slot, which is behind the battery door, can smartly be accessed without removing the actual battery, and accommodates cards up to a whopping 32GB.
