Hands on: BlackBerry Bold 9700
Posted on November 16, 2009 |
After a big run of flashy smartphone announcements, including the Motorola Droid/Milestone and even the BlackBerry Storm2, it was easy for the BlackBerry Bold 9700 to slip in under the radar. But this very solid, if unflashy, handset shows why Research In Motion continues to thrive even in a very difficult market.
The original Bold 9000, which hit the market in May, 2008, has been the flagship of the BlackBerry line. The Bold 9700, available today from T-Mobile for $200 on a two-year contract and on Nov. 22 from AT&T, offers everything the Bold did--sometimes better and sometimes smaller.
Physically, the Bold strongly resembles assorted Curve models, though it retains the Bold's premium look and feel with a metal bezel around the top of the handset and a leatherette back. Like recent curves, it replaces the fidgety track ball with an optical sensor that tracks finger movement on a pad below the screen--a big improvement. It weighs about half an ounce (14 g) less than then original Bold.
UPDATED First Look: Palm Pixi, a Smaller, Less Capable Pre
Posted on November 12, 2009 |
UPDATED with battery specs
The Palm Pre has gotten a little brother, the Pixi. And as is often the case with younger siblings, it wouldn’t be surprising if the Pixi, available Nov. 15 from Sprint, feels at least a little bit inferior.
In design, the Pixi looks like a slicker and more modern version of the Palm Centro, the last phone to run the old Palm OS software. It’s very nearly the same length and width as the Centro, but significantly thinner and lighter. It’s a quarter-inch (6 mm) thinner and 1.5 oz. (43 g) lighter than the Pre. It runs the same Palm webOS and the same applications as the Pre.
The big question is, unless getting a very small phone is your highest priority, why you would want a Pixi rather than a Pre. The Pixi costs $100 after a $50 instant rebate and a.$100 mail-in rebate. The Pre costs $149. Amortized over the required two-year contract, with the cheapest offering being Sprint’s $70 a month unlimited data, 450 voice minute Everything Data plan, the Pixi works a out to $74.15 a month and the Pre to $76.25. Not much to choose from there in budgetary terms.
