BlackBerry Bold 9700

The new BlackBerry® Bold 9700 smartphone will help you find your perfect work/life balance.

This innovative, eye-catching BlackBerry device gives you push access to what’s important, from email and instant messenger to Facebook™ updates, so you’re always in the know.

Multitasking is easy as open apps are always on, so you can tap out a quick message, edit a document or browse the internet without missing a thing.

The BlackBerry Bold 9700 handset is slim enough to slip into your pocket, and so stylish that you won’t want to let it out of your sight. Its soft-touch body, sculpted keyboard and high-resolution screen have been crafted from premium materials.

Do more of what you love for longer. The BlackBerry Bold 9700 device has a removable, rechargeable battery that can be replaced with a backup when you’re travelling and don’t have time for a full power charge.

Your favourite BlackBerry smartphone features have been refined. An improved optical trackpad makes menu scrolling effortless, and the full QWERTY keyboard is sculpted, for faster, more comfortable typing.

BlackBerry push email is now even better. Manage up to 10 email accounts on your smartphone and receive messages instantly thanks to enhanced download speeds. Improved Gmail™ integration lets you archive emails and even report spam.

Discover a seamless internet experience. Start a web search straight from your browser screen, and get online in seconds via WiFi or 3G. Stream YouTube™ videos, news or sports broadcasts, and download media fast.

Socialise your way with BlackBerry® Messenger - the unlimited messaging service for BlackBerry® smartphone owners! This real-time communications app is fast, fun and simple to use; you’ll be provided with a unique BlackBerry® pin to share with other users and a 3D barcode* for the quick adding of contacts. BBM™ makes it easy to share your world with friends, family and colleagues; you can let everyone know what’s on your mind with a quick status message, share what music you’re listening to and even post your snapshots straight to Faceboo™! Create groups to easily make plans, share lists and updates, or send SMS messages** from your BB™ account and enjoy longer character limits with no hidden costs. BlackBerry® push delivery lets you see when friends are typing messages to you, when they read your replies, and informs you as soon as new emails come in. All you need to enjoy the service is an appropriate data plan and if your tariff doesn’t already include a BlackBerry email and internet bundle you can add an ***unlimited data plan to your basket at checkout.

Stay entertained on the move. Enhanced playback improves your audio experience, and a dedicated media player takes care of your tunes. This media-friendly handset comes with a high quality headset and has a standard 3.5mm audio jack, so you can plug in normal headphones.

With a 2GB microSD memory card included in the box and support for microSD cards up to 32GB, the BlackBerry Bold 9700 smartphone can store masses of media, documents and applications. Visit BlackBerry App World™ to download a wide range of apps, widgets and games straight onto your phone.

Your BlackBerry® device works in perfect sync with PCs, keeping everything up-to-date, from contact details to iTunes and Windows® Media Player music files.

Out-of-the-box compatibility for Mac computers means you can sync contact lists, calendar appointments, task list and notes.

With built-in GPS, a 3.2 Megapixel camera and Microsoft® Office document editing software, the BlackBerry Bold 9700 smartphone s all you need to stay connected whilst on the go. It’s setting the bar for all smartphones to follow.
