'The phone oozes class, and though it still sports a mix of faux-leather plastics and soft touch paint with that now-signature chrome band, the BlackBerry Bold 9700 now feels understated and slight in the hand. '
'very good phone'
' When the first BlackBerry Bold debuted late last year, I called it the best BlackBerry smartphone yet. '
'The phone feels good in the hand, and it sounded great when I tested it.'
'The G1's vibrate setting is pretty noisy since the two halves of the phone seem to vibrate separately and make more noise than it would if it were one piece - it will definitely be noticeable in a quiet meeting.'
'The phone is plastic all round, but that doesn’t stop it feeling robust in the hand.'
'most highly animated smart phone'
'intuitive phone'
'The bright 2.6-inch QVGA (320x240) display is large enough to make good use of the touchscreen functionality, and a stylus, tucked away on the top-left corner of the phone, is on hand to help with some of the smaller, larger-than-finger selections, of which there are plenty.'
