The BlackBerry 9700 Bold on 3

Definitely a phone to purchase!! Especially on orange due to its UMA system that guarantees a signal in your home (+ it makes the phone faster than broadband!) It's the ideal phone for me with the push emails, facebook, twitter, word, excel, pdf and other such applications - keeps me of the laptop due to its capabilities. Definitely a phone worth investing in.

I`ve had my BlackberryBold9700 almost a month now and must admit that it`s the best phone I`ve ever owned!!. I used to always go for the most basic phones probably with a camera if I was pushed, so the Bold9700 was majorly out of my league. To be honest, I don`t know how I`ve managed without it as it plays a large part both in my worklife and social life. From social networks to personal and business e-mails, BBmessenger, BB appworld, internet for browsing and shopping, maps, I use the lot, it`s just amazing and I`ve found it so easy to use. I thought the keyboard might be a problem at first but after a day or two it was really easy, especially after previously having a toutchscreen phone.
When working abroad I would normally take my laptop with me; now I just take my Blackberry instead and find that I can do everything I want on that instead of using the laptop and when at home I tend to use my Blackberry more than I do the laptop it just seems so much easier, obviously the screen is smaller on the phone but it`s surprising how quickly you adjust. The Bold9700 is amazing quality with bright flashes of chrome around the edges to offset the black fascia and back. I have mine in a leather case just to keep it looking good. Battery life seems good too lasting 2-3 days with moderate use inc. browsing before needing a recharge.
Obviously I`m with 3network as my provider,with no problems at all. One of the good things about 3 is that if you`re a heavy internet user, you get 1GB of internet allowance (on contract) than most other networks who usually give you 500MB.My Bold9700 performs perfectly in all aspects, internet browsing is so quick, alot quicker than my broadband at home. BlackberryBold9700 best phone ever!!

im due 4 an upgrade 2mw and really want this phone in white, looks fab, read great reviews, only concern is the keyboard. Can anyone tell me if this is easy to use? Some reviews say theyre clicky and no good for people who text and email a lot! The whole point for having one in my case so have to be sure! Can anyone give me their honest opinion? Thanks
