Similar in form and shape as the BlackBerry Curve, the phone’s design could only be described as stylish.

Along with the phones sleeker structure, the Bold 9700 comes with a wide array of basic and advance calling features that the Blackberry name has long been known for. Call quality could only be described as excellent and tests showed that the Bold 9700 passed solidly. The phone built-in speaker made a good account for itself, providing clear and crisp communications even in New York’s busy streets. It was also refreshing to know that the call quality didn’t suffer from me switching to the speakerphone during calls. In fact, recipients of the calls didn’t notice the change.
