^ exactly lol

I signed oct 08.... >.<
I thought it was earlier

the buy out price for 9700 is cheaper then 9000? wtf?

Signed Sep 08, received 9000 Bold. Called this morning, 9700 Bold en route. You should call again ;)

i got this phone yesterday, anybody else out there think its kinda girly since its so small lol

Price you paid?

Same boat as me man, I renewed Nov. 08
I might just wait for some used 9700's to pop up lol

been a tough call deciding between this and the iphone 3gs

Impressed with the 9700, but is it really that much better than the 9000?
Hard to say
The screen pixel density is stunning, but the iphone's entire interface is a screen.
Advantage - iphone

so the bold 9000 is $99 with 3 year contract, $699 no term.

the bold 9700 is $299 with 3 year contract, $599 no term.

rogers is definitely taking advantage of those people who are hyped for new phones and always wanting it "new".

you get better camera pixels, more storage, and a trackpad. is it really with the price to change your bold 9000 for this and renewing your contract?

i'm planning on changing phones and going for a 3 year contract with rogers, and the bold 9000 is still my choice. not paying an extra $200 for small improvements.

I really hate that people compare the iphone and the blackberry so much. their target markets are completely different, whatever one has as an advantage the other has as a disadvantage.

if you want multimedia capabilities, go with the iphone

if you want quick emailing, bbm, a hardware qwerty keyboard and less data consumption (compared to the iphone), go with a blackberry

isn't that the whole point of a business? charge more for newer models?

I'm actually surprised the bold 9000 is more expensive w/o a contract than the bold 9700

$299 + tax. $35 Activation fees waived.

Out of stock as of today, Asked me to call back on Tuesday and confirm shipping address.

just got mine today, metrotown store

Nice! I got my Bold 9000 on Nov.28th 2008 last year according to the website. I guess I need to wait one more month to get my hands on the 9700 :haha:
Btw, is the only department that handles HUP, the retention department?

damn u..lol

is there any advantages/disadvantage with going for this phone but with telus instead?

Ya...telus sucks.

i just have a dislike for telus from past experiences.

i like how telus and bell is selling the 9700 cheaper then robbers wireless.

Got my 9700 from the Coquitlam Centre Telus yesterday. I'm very happy with it... but of course I got a killer plan to go with it... they managed to match (and beat!) a Bell corporate plan so I'm pretty happy.]

Better get yours quick cuz I don't know how soon supplies will last.

who finds the 9700 too small?

I find it perfect..maybe I just found the bold just a tad too big

Me. Going back to 9000 :p

yep same here.

does anyone know if either Telus, Bell or Rogers has the bold with the white keypad/red numbers? my Rogers one came with an all white keypad, and so do the ones I've seen on video and hands-on reviews

my Rogers 9000 came with a black/red keypad as well

i used it for a day hated how small it was tho i like the camera much better then the 9000 but still I cant use it ....

Battery is also good on the 9700!
