'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. '
'Nokia doesn't include cutting edge, headline-grabbing mobile phone technology such as built in GPS, Wi-Fi or HSDPA high-speed data connectivity, or touchscreen activation.'
'underperformance or exorbitant price'
'"The high-end materials and seamless surfaces are pleasing to touch while the sophisticated, minimalistic design is equally satisfying to the eyes.'
'speaker independent voice dialing and command system'
'Most frustrating is the placement of the soft menu keys in landscape mode; they're positioned on the extreme opposite ends of the keyboard instead of right underneath the menu options on the display.'
