T-Mobile Blackberry 9700 on Amazon/ Review

We like the Blackberry Bold 9700, what separates the new Blackberry Bold 9700 and Old Blackberry Bold 9000 from the rest of the Blackberrys is our favorite 3G feature, simultaneous voice and data. The Blackberry Bold(9700 & 9000) is the only blackberry on ATT/T-mobile with 3G. It helps on the occasion you still want to browse the web, chat on blackberry messenger and send/receive emails while your on the phone.

Added bonuses on the Blackberry Bold are the new Optical Trackpad, High resolution 480x360 pixel color display screen with over 65,000 colors, 3.2 MegaPixel Camera(takes excellent photos with the flash even at night) and excellent battery life 6hr talktime(1500mAh cryptographic Lithium cell).

On the non-technical practical user side it has great essential feature. You can clearly hear the person your talking to and the 6hr talk time is excellent. Also the feel of the keyboard(What blackberry does best) makes it easy when typing large emails or engaging chat sessions.

are new 3G speeds on Blackberry placebo's?

Like millions of blackberry fanatics I went out and bought one of their latest blackberry's on the market. Promising more memory, crisper screens etc...

However I came to find the device quite slow and sluggish. The older versions were a lot snappier and the screens never froze. The new ones even take just about 5 minutes to reboot. Not sure where the problems stems from, could be that RIM has added a lot to it's OS in trying to compete with the Droids and iPhone. The source of the problems I don't know. Even after updating the software, removing unnecessary software etc... Users are still finding their devices to be quite slow... below are some links around the net showing this new but growing problem with the blackberries...

Freezing. Sluggish. Enough is enough

13-inch Macbook Pro get's more praise

Computer World's Ken Mingis praises the new MacBook Pro... if your in the market for purchasing a new laptop it's worth the read. Definitely a buyers market now, especially with Google entering the Netbook Market...

• "Wider gamut" means more life-like colors and deeper color saturation. As an example, I took a picture this spring of a purplish-blue iris that, on the just-discontinued MacBook, looked very good. But on the new MacBook Pro, the same picture is stunning. - Mingis

• "the smaller Pro models not only get processor speed bumps, they also get a major improvement in battery life, an SD card slot, a FireWire 800 port, a better LED screen and, debuting in the entry-level version, Apple's highly regarded backlit keyboard. (As someone who used the 2.0GHz MacBook -- the one without the lighted keyboard -- for a couple of months, I can attest to the usefulness of the backlighting, especially with the black keys.)" Mingis

is the blackberry tour competition for the iPhones?

The release though a major upgrade for blackberry enthusiast on Verizon & Sprint. it's a unexciting phone in the age of Palm Pre's, Androids and iPhones... It seems like a old but goody from a previous generation. it comes with 256MB which is miniscule in this age. I don't know if anyone who like to be stuck in a two year contract when this time next year the Pre's, Droids and Iphones will have taken more leaps.

One Stop Iphone 3Gs Review

One Spot Iphone Review

Major Changes

• Available in 32 Gigs
• Improved Performance 2-3x faster
• Built-in video camera w/ editing
• 3-Megapixel
• Nike+ Support
• finger print resistant oleophobic coating

"if Steve Jobs whipped one out in public before it was announced, you wouldn't have been able to tell the difference. By holding the 3GS next to the 3G, you'll notice that the screen is slightly more reflective because of the new fingerprint resistant oleophobic coating." Jason Chen

Voice Control - recognizes the names in your Contacts and knows the music on your iPod. So if you want to place a call or play a song, all you have to do is ask.

Compass built-in digital compass, iPhone 3GS can point the way. Use the new Compass app, or watch as it automatically reorients maps to match the direction you’re facing.

Extra 3 hours on Video and 6 hours on Audio playback

Buying advice:

If you don't have an iPhone best time to be in the market for one...

if you already own a 3G you should wait, your not missing much except

video recording and improved camera "There are dozens more new features on the iPhone 3G S — but the really exciting part is that older iPhones can get them, too. They’re part of a free software upgrade called iPhone 3.0" Pogue

Apples compares apples;) 3G vs 3Gs

Well respected reviews below.

Walt Mossberg (most comprehensive, journalism school at it's finest)

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124525573550923759.html

"I also regard these changes as more evolutionary than revolutionary, and I don't think this latest iPhone is as compelling an upgrade for the average user as the 3G model was last year for owners of the original 2007 iPhone." Walt Mossberg

Current iPhone owners can get an improved product by merely sticking with their existing phones and upgrading to the feature-laden new operating system, which is free (it costs $10 for iPod Touch owners), rather than shelling out at least $199 for the new iPhone 3G S. And many new iPhone buyers can opt for the $99 3G model, which is not only cheaper, but also greatly improved by the new OS 3.0." Walt Mossberg

Bottom line:

Bringing in an SD slot and bringing back the FireWire port—while also lowering prices—eliminated Apple's weakest links in the 13-inch MacBook Pro. Add bigger, better battery life

Unparalleled multi-touch gestures. Best-looking chassis in its class. Sturdy. Return of the FireWire port. Bigger, better battery life than its predecessor's. Lower prices. Backlit keyboard. Loaded with green cred. Now with an SD slot.

What are your thoughts? What would you end up buying?
