Review BlackBerry 9700

    At the request of the workers, I nevertheless decided to write a small review of my little assistant - BlackBerry 9700.

    Before proceeding to the description of this device, I want to familiarize the habrasociety with a view to purchasing it. And the goal was simple - to be always in touch. On the day I receive up to fifty letters, and I’m not always at the computer, and sometimes it’s “oh right” sometimes to respond urgently. Prior to that, my main phone was the Nokia 3500c, and with it I honestly tormented myself. Therefore, it became necessary to buy a phone with a qwerty keyboard. In general, without hesitation, my choice fell on the BlackBerry, as these phones are positioned as "mailers." And if you take it, then something last. I don’t like sensors, so I took 9700.

    Specifications

    Display

    What first struck me when I picked up this phone was its excellent display. Small but with excellent resolution. From my youth I love small pixels. All I can say about the screen is that it is amazing. After the purchase, I immediately ordered Screen Protector. It's not hard to guess that the backlight dynamically changes brightness depending on the lighting.

    Keyboard

    Small but comfortable. It is divided into 2 halves, each of which is at an angle, for a convenient set. But the most important feature is the optical trackpad. With its help, this device becomes "almost with a touch screen." A very convenient thing. I can’t even imagine how I used to live without him.

    Programs

    Only those programs that I need are installed on my phone. Namely:
    - a mobile office (a set of programs for reading / editing .doc, .xls, .ptt, .pdf)
    - IM + - a messenger

    - Opera - a browser

    - Shang Mail - Push mail. The letter appears on my phone after a couple of seconds of appearing on the server.
    - Google apps - maps, mail, etc.

    - Weather Plus - weather
    - QR-code reader

    All other programs from the standard package: Memopad, Password Keeper, Calendar, Tasks, etc.

    Magic case

    I buzz from the cover that came in the kit. In general, the phone determines when it is in the case and when not. Accordingly, you can configure profiles for “in the case” and “without the case”. When the phone is in a case, the keyboard automatically locks and the screen goes blank. When you remove the phone, the backlight automatically turns on. Very comfortably.

    A spoon of tar.

    BlackBerry will be full-fledged only with BIS / BES (includes Push mail, unlimited traffic and a bunch of any extras). In Ukraine, these services are provided by MTC. The cost of 350 hryvnia per month (44 bucks). I think this is too much. Therefore, for the time being I am satisfied with 300 megabytes per month for 40 hryvnias per month (5 bucks), and I use ShanGmail for Push mail (this approach is not ideal, it’s free for that).
