BlackBerry Bold 9700 - Launching November?


RIM has unveiled the new flagship device from BlackBerry. The BlackBerry Bold 9700 is the fastest, most advanced, and arguably best looking device yet. From the lightning fast 624 Mhz processor to the beautiful 480 X 360 pixel display, this is what a smartphone should be. Most will notice RIM has started to phase out the trackball on all its newer devices (Curve 8520, Bold 9700), We have not yet had the chance to review the new trackpad, but word from the prominent bloggers says the trackball works as good, if not better than the trackball. With has nearly the same feel, and you wont have to worry about it getting dirty, turning yellow or failing to track to one side. No word on a TELUS launch yet, however expect a launch in the near future once the HSPA network is fully operational, as Bell and Rogers have announced the Bold 9700 on their HSPA networks.
