Blackberry fans in Malaysia can now get their hands on the new Blackberry Bold 9700. Launched a couple of days ago, these new variant would be a major hit especially for business customers. Let’s take a look at this new model plus the pricing and packages offered by our Malaysian telco, Celcom.
As an "upgrade" version of Bold 9000, Bold 9700 offers better specs though the storage has been reduced from 1GB to 256MB. I reckon this would be an attempt to fit the trend of using microSD card for bigger storage. This gives the Bold 9700 lighter weight and sleeker look. Bold 9700 runs smoother and faster as compared to its predecessor and offers bigger RAM and camera resolution. Another change noted in Bold 9700 is the use of trackpad for navigation. This is far far better than trackball!
Pricing? The standard in Malaysia is around RM2.2k but Celcom Axiata is offering this phone at RM1988. There are also other CelcomBiz packages which you can save up to RM900.

I still prefer the iphone. Almost the same price...
I prefer iphone too!
yeah...iphone still rules!
hi there. im contemplating as to whether i should purchase the iphone or the highly anticipated(in my case :)) bb bold 9700? need advice!!! thank you!! :)
I'm current user of iphone.....and intend to upgrade to htc hd2....but all my friends convince me to use bb 9700...bought the unit ...and i find it is a fantastic gadget for business customer..
Currently, i'm using iPhone and it was awesome without Maxis monthly plans, u won't be able to maximise it's capabilities and it such a disfunctional phone...I admit iPhone is amazing gadget.
But, never turn back on Blackberry.. it was a trendy in mobile phone world as we are more advanced than other countries nowadays!
As a quick background, I am a heavy user of Blackberries and have owned almost every incarnation. I can say hands down, this is the best Blackberry to date. The screen is high resolution and the overall size of the new Bold is amazingly compact. It is smaller than my old 8310 Curve and much smaller than the previous generation Bold 9000. The most noticeable difference in this new phone is the speed. The processor is much faster and with the 3G capability, it is not as painful to surf the web. While the web browser is still not as good as the iPhones, it is much more useable than previous versions.
Speaking of the iPhone, the sales representative at AT&T kept asking me if I didn't want an iPhone 3GS instead. I have already owned an iPhone and returned it because of the simple fact that it does not have a QWERTY keyboard. I cannot type with the same speed that I can on my Blackberry. The keyboard layout on the new Bold does not disappoint in that the key layout is slightly tighter than the Curve but you get used to it after typing about 5 messages. If you are a previous Blackberry user that is looking to upgrade, then the new Bold is a worthy of the upgrade. In addition if you are the type of user that wants your phone to handle voice and messaging well, then I would also recommend the Bold as a phone to checkout!
Selling Blackberry Bold 9700 at RM1500.
Anyone interested can e-mail me at candy.luii@live.com
It is original and brand new!
The qwerty keyboard of the Blackberry is a big hit and I won't trade my curve for an iPhone.
