Hey there =) I'm just wondering if Blackberry Bold 9700 is worth buying, since it got released like almost a year ago, should i wait for the new one to com...

kareem i think he has a curve

EddieEC

Yeah Kareem, the curve is sold for $200-$300 price range. I got my bold the minute it was released for $600, but it has T-Mobile on it, but it functions very well in Lebanon with the service.
But the bold 9700 goes around $450-$550 so don't buy it from the expensive shops.
The 9800 looks great. I like it.

kareem_nasser wroteToday my students arent at home so I'll go tomorrow sorry.

Leonedes

indeed :P

hmm :/ so you think i should wait for the 9800 to see if it is worth it? think it will be out before october ?

AS you can see im very undecided :p

EddieEC

I don't know about the availability date, but it shouldn't be long, because leaks don't appear very long before the release date. So if you like the 9800, wait for it, if you don't hear news about it being released anytime soon, get the 9700, which will be cheaper later.

Just trying not to be Lebanese and forget stuff that you have promised to do. (Taneesh)

Leonedes

a33 this is killing me .. yalla we'll wait what have we got to lose !

And thanks kareem, I'm glad you dont have commitment issues, which appears to be '3ade' in lebanese culture lol

Everyone "bee Tanneesh" after a while.

thanks battikh ! :) i saw it yesterday .. it looks 'nice' just doesnt look like the 9700 which is way better i think! and the thing is, my phone right now is exactly exactly the same, slider black just no touch screen, its an old crappy samsung, but still >_> anyway, it is rumored to be released in the third week of june, ill wait till then, read the reviews and take actions accordingly :)

Mark what did you end up doing ? I have some advice for you (i hold a 9700 currently)

babum

If you still need advice go for the bold 9700, wifi range is better, camera is way better than the whole blackberry series, and you wont regret it.

also I wouldnt recommend you buying a touch blackberry, although they might look good and feel good for pressing one or to shortcuts, when it comes down to chat its easier to have a physical keyboard.
