One of the primary features of the BlackBerry Bold 9700 is the phones touch-sensitive trackpad, which is used for navigating through the menus.

You have to love a phone that has wireless internet access on 802.11 B/G networks. This allows you to get your data through the wireless network, which is not only faster but more secure than a cellular network. In addition to being able to get your data faster, you will be able to get it cheaper, especially if you do not have a truly unlimited data plan. While the simple access to the wireless internet itself might not be too impressive, what you can do with mobile phone calls and the access is. T-Mobile is one of the first networks to even allow mobile phones to accept calls over a wireless network. It is the first network to allow a Blackberry phone to do so. This means you will save on your minutes and even get better call clarity.

After you have finished up your new phone call on the wireless internet access you might want to browse around a bit. The Bold 9700's internet browsing capabilities are not the best in the industry, but they could do alright once you get an upgrade to the operating system of the phone. The Blackberry Bold's browser is one of the few that is not developed with the Web Kit that is used for Safari and the Android Browser. Sure, this might not seem like a big deal but when you are downloading image intensive sites like Facebook it sure can be!

Now that you have been able to check out all of the features of this phone, you might want to go ahead and purchase it. This is quite easy as many networks not only in the United States but across the world have decided to offer this Blackberry as one of the phones that they sell in their retail outlets. First off, you can check out T-Mobile which offers the Blackberry Bold 9700 with its ability to take calls over the internet at wireless access points. AT&T also offers the Bold 9700 with Verizon Wireless being the third U.S. Based carrier to offer the phone. It is priced around $199 depending upon the contract options that you select.
