Blackberry Bold 9700

I have had my blackberry bold for approx 2 years now, its been an okay phone with no major issues. The software is a bit slow and looking anything up on the internet doesnt usually work to well.It is compact, easy to use and the keyboard keys are big enough i can type quickly. Not a great phone for a gamer or anyone that uses the internet alot. Great for bbm and texting or catching up on facebook gossip.

This is the one BB Bold I can say is a total rip off. I have used it through work, and have troubleshoot it and seen the numerous issues people face while using it, so I can honestly say, if you want a BB, go for it, but just not this one. Out of all the people I know using this BB, only one person has a good one. The rest of them have lemons.

Some of the problems they encounter is:
The speaker / sound stops working - so no listening to music out loud or even hearing your ring tone!
The headphone feature stops working
The Hands free feature stops working
The headset sound itself stops working - so when making a call, you won't hear anyone!

Now I do know how to fix all of these, the fixes aren't very difficult, but that's besides the point. When you're paying $500 for a cellphone, you should expect for it to work straight out of the box and not come with a plethora of issues.

I don't recommend this model to anyone.
