win win win :)

well the reason would be that the 9700 encompasses all the
parts and intuitive features required by people these days.

for ex: on the 9000

you have 3G, but its too big
on the curve you dont have 3G
but its compact. and easy to use

The trackpad is by far the biggest reason and change for
the BlackBerry Bold 9700. By eliminating the moving parts
(trackball) and the ability to have a stable long lasting hardware device.

The stylish design and the nicely hidden
sd card slot is jazzy too.

The fact that its very handy and pocketable

You automatically when carrying this new device
feel, a sense of empowerment and superiority over
other devices in its class due to these reasons

Blackberry :

Push Email second to none

Acceptional OS Intuitiveness v 5.0x .321

Address Book and style

Long Battery Life

1 way Data Encryption

Blackberry Culture is awesome
and this just adds to its awesomeness

Speed with Double Ram and Processor in one unit

New Covered Buttons, keep out the dirt and protect
your device.

its a one stop shop for your life style, go BB 9700
and empower your life. In ways you never knew was possible!@

I can't tell you why I think the 9700 is better. I haven't used one (yet). But, let me win this one and I will tell you how it compares!

Track pad, OS 5.0, More Memory, WiFi AND 3G.... need I say more?!?!?

Sexiest BlackBerry ever created!

Its just awesome!! got everything! trackpad, full keyboard, WiFi!!! i would love to get it

better, faster, stronger, sexier, enough said!

It's like the review said yesterday...the 9700 has all the best bits of the Blackberrys released so far.

i totally agree with the above poster. how woudl we know if its better than any other BB while there is no 9700 out there for us to play/test? BUT since its a BB, am sure its gona rock! :)

This particular 9700 is better than other blackberries because it's FREE.

1) trackpad!
2) WIFI
3) sheer Beauty
4) perfect size
5) excellent performance
6) hopefully less bugs

this seems to be the best berry release yet, I definitly want to pick one of these up.. i didnt like the bold because of its sizem, the curve 8900 seemed to lack a few features, and the curve 8520/30 seemed too basic.. this is the ultimate berry in my opinion

...it's bolder.

Bold 9700 ROCKS!!!. More powerful than my current Bold 9000 in a smaller package. What else can I ask for?

The trackpad is nice, high rez screen, wifi, additional memory and the keyboard is smooth.

The first no-compromise Blackberry!

Most waited bb in whole year 3g wi fi trackpad how could you go wrong with this

The trackpad and WiFi make this an awesome phone

I don't want it for myself, I want it for my daughter. This is a BB household. Thanks Crackberry. You guys rock.

Bold 9700

Let me tell you a little something about this headache called a trackball. It will no longer exsist with the Wonderful 9700. Cant wait and of course the weight and size reduction. How can you beat that!!!

pick me!

Everything in life has its trade-offs... except the 9700!

This phone is better than any other Blackberry because it is converting me to a BB user from my iPhone that I've had since launch.

I hate my storm and need something with a keyboard.

For me, the most important spec for a cellphone is size. I currently have the 8900. The size is perfect. The 8900 is a near perfect phone. But the 9700 is the perfect phone. My 8900 has no grip while the 9700 has the leather back cover. (I do not like skins or cases for my phones). The 9700 has the better feeling flat keys on the keyboard. I hate edge, and the 9700 has 3g. The optical trackpad is my favorite feature on the 9700. I want it bad.

Bold = Top of the line.
The bar has been set once again with the 9700

Uh...Because it is the latest and with every new device RIM releases, things just get better!

Like a brand new top of the line sports car it has all the great gadgets and gismos put into one incredible device.

Trackpad, 3G speeds, Wi-Fi, Memory, FAST processor!

Everything!

Track pad, WIFI, 3G, looks so wonderful...this phone would improve my life...Give me the Bold please!

It is the best for just one reason. I can load so many more apps on it from Crackberry.com!!! Need i say more?

The trackpad, keyboard, and screen make it the best BlackBerry yet.

Because its the latest and greatest... my 8900 works great but I just need that shiny new toy! Capitalism at it's finest! Can't wait for the 9700.

please send me my 9700 asap...yeah and can you come in to work on saturday as well...yyyyeah and did you get those TPS reports done? I am going to need you to come in on Sunday as well if those arent done

Even though this phone is comparable to the 8900 Curve, I see some great improvements.

The trackpad is what grabs my attention. My Wife has a Curve 8520 and the trackpad is AWSOME! No more trackball malfunctions! Also the trackpad makes the device feel more "like a mini laptop" than an actual cellphone.

Also, having OS 5.0 is so much better than previous OS versions and I'm sure this device will have BBM 5.0 as well which rounds out the package.

IMO......the Bold 9700 from T-Mo will be the best Blackberry so far!

I need it!

The BlackBerry 9700 is the Bold the people actually want.

-Smaller form factor
-Same awesome camera the 8900 has
-New trackpad
-All the radios people want - 3G, Wifi, GPS, Bluetooth
-Sturdier, not to mention better looking

...and hello! OS 5.0! Bring on the AWESOME!

As a Bold 9000 owner and one who "upgrades" OS's regularly, I've come to really like it's capabilities. However, it's the little upgrades that aren't readily available by download (like size, memory, track pad, camera, looks, etc.) that makes me want to take the next step to the 9700. Thanks for the opportunity!

IT would be so much better than my S1!!!!

Gorgeous keyboard
Awesome Camera
Sexy trackpad
MEMORY MEMORY MEMORY
:)

latest is always the best!

Can I use it on Verizon?

Trackpad is full of win!!!!!

I love blackberry, just want to make sure we are on the same page.
My first blackberry was a 8100 Pearl and we can say the love affair started there.
I then upgraded to T-mobile's Curve 8900 and I gotta say, i don't know what i would do without it. Recently i had to wait 3 business days until T-mobile sent me an exchange phone because my 8900 just shut off on me. I then, through the crackberry forums, learned that the 8900 has "memory issues" which might have triggered my "dead berry"

I love the fact that the 9700 will be t-mobile's first 3g blackberry, and that is something that these days one can't live without.

The biggest updgrade or upside i can see on the 9700 is the trackpad. Now, i love the trackball, it's blackberry's signature, but the trackpad takes the 9700 to a whole different level that everyone needs to be at these days.

So that's why and so much more, i believe i would absolutely blessed to upgrade to the 9700.

Thanks.

It's the FIRST Blackberry WITH 3G on the T-Mobile network (in the US) :)

Well its got an optical trackpad instead of the trackball, more memory then the phone its replacing, more included micro sd card memory, a really slick leather back, a better camera, a better fit a finish that appeals to both men and women instead of just appealing to more of a male audience (which is good for sales goals) and the phone is running 5.0 flawless. I would love to own one, but unless I win it, it will not happen.

Thank you

I have a BB Tour but I'd love to win a 9700. It's sexy!

1) Better Hardware Specs
2) WIFI
3) Georgeous device
4) Size is good
5) Trackpad

Just a damned good looking BB!

It takes the best features of every blackberry and combines them into one super blackberry. It's like when optimus prime took parts from that old transformer in transformers 2 and then kicked the crap out of megatron. It's basically like that but in blackberry form.

you've got the sweet 9000/tour keyboard.
it's compact, and has UMA like the 8900
The screen is top notch like the tour
They've added a sexy track pad like the 8520
and it has wifi like the storm2

it's the optimus prime of the blackberries. Blackberries, roll out..and send one to my house please :)
