The BlackBerry Bold 9700, also called the Bold 2 or the Onyx, is released for AT&T and T-Mobile as an upgrade to the popular Bold 9000 we previously introduced. Running on BlackBerry OS 5.0, the Bold 9700 keeps the best of its predecessor, but further improves itself by bringing a more pocket-friendly design and a wealth of improved features.Size and Weight
The new Bold delivers a slimmer and more compact form factor by measuring 4.29 by 2.36 by 0.56 inches. It also weighs significantly less at 4.27 ounces (down from 4.8 ounces).
Data Input and Navigation
While the 35-key QWERTY keyboard is similar to the old one, the 9700 replaces the original Bold’s trackball with a touch-sensitive optical trackpad. You can now scroll through menus by sliding your finger, and select an item with a slight press and click.
Display
Despite its smaller size, the Bold 9700 boasts the same 2.6-inch 65k-color display with a higher 480x360-pixel resolution, creating a vivid viewing experience both for texts, photos and videos.
