BlackBerry Bold 9700 revealed
Research In Motion has unveiled a new smartphone; the BlackBerry Bold 9700. The Bold 9700 is the successor to the popular Bold 9000, and targets the high-end of the smartphone market.
The phone will be launched through both Vodacom and MTN, but no pricing or availability dates are yet known.
Supporting 3G HSDPA networks, the smartphone features a 624 MHz processor, 256 MB memory, a 2.44” display (480×360@245ppi), GPS, Wi-Fi, and a 3.2MP camera. The optical trackpad which was introduced with the Curve 8520 will replace the original trackball.
The 1500 mAhr battery provides approximately 6 hours of talk time and 17 days of standby time in 3G mode. The phone dimensions are 109mm x 60mm x 14.1mm, an overall slimming down from its predecessor. It weighs in at 122 grams, making it 14 grams lighter than the Bold 9000.
“The BlackBerry Bold 9700 builds on the success of the original BlackBerry Bold with new, state-of-the-art features and a smaller, lighter and highly optimized design that looks, feels and performs great,” said Mike Lazaridis, President and Co-CEO, Research In Motion.
