Blackberry Bold 9700 in India at price Rs. 31900 with attractive features

Recently we saw a large number of dual SIM cheap handsets targeted towards Rural India and majority mass. It is high time since we came across any high budget business smart phone. Research In Motion (RIM) the makers of Blackberry smartphones today announced the launch of the BlackBerry Bold 9700 with scintillating looks and amazing features. Blackberry Bold 9700 is available in India at price of Rs. 31900. The new Bold 9700 has all the basic ingredients of original black model with new whitish finish to its exterior casing.

The Blackberry Bold 9700 smartphone is 3G enabled and also boasts of its connectivity options with WiFi, Bluetooth and USB 2.0 being present. However, it lacks infrared port, which has become obsolete these days. Besides its connectivity issues, it sports 3.2 MP camera which comes with 2048 x 1536 pixel. In addition, it has autofocus, LED flash and Image stabilization to give decent image quality. However, I am slightly disappointed with its 3.2 MP camera, given its price tag of Rs. 31500. The likes of Xperia and Satio smartphones have 8MP and 12MP respectively within that price range.

The Blackberry Bold 9700 uses the Blackberry OSv5 as its operating system and comes with a nice processing speed of 624 MHz. Thus you can easily watch videos, or access internet without much of a lag. Its multimedia options are also up to the mark with its music player being capable to support nearly all media formats.

In Blackberry Bold 9700 multimedia features, it allows to sync music files, in the handset with user's PC or laptop files , 256MB of inbuilt memory which can be expanded with micro SD card.Blackberry Bold 9700 comes with a powerful 1500mAh Li-Ion battery which claims to provide up to 6 hours of talk time and 16 days of standby time. Its good battery option can let you watch movies flawlessly for a longer period.

So it would be worth to buy this 3G enabled smartphone, however the majority of the mass can not afford it.
