Properly replacing one of the most popular, recognizable BlackBerrys bold 9000, blackberry announced Blackberry bold 9700. With the BlackBerry Bold 9700 now official, we can take a look at the known specs for the device.
This very solid, if unflashy, handset shows why Research In Motion continues to thrive even in a very difficult market.
Overall, things are to be expected. It's efficient, almost cramped, like a Japanese car from the 80s.
