Nokia N97 vs BlackBerry Bold 9700
First of all I have to say that BlackBerry Bold 9700 is newer than Nokia N97. Nokia N97 have been announced in 2008 November while BlackBerry Bold 9700 have been announced in 2009 October which is quite a big difference.
Nokia N97 weights 150 grams while the BlackBerry Bold 9700 is lighter weighting 122 grams. I think that isn’t a big difference.
When we talk about colors, Nokia N97 is leading with 16M colors while the BlackBerry Bold 9700 has only 65k colors. Nokia N97 has a 3.5″ 640×480 touch screen display while the BlackBerry Bold 9700 has a 2.44″ 480×366 display.
Both phones are featuring full physical qwerty keyboard but the Nokia N97 has also the feature of hand writing because of the touch screen but i tell you that I personally tested that and it is a good feature but it takes too much to write something of at least if you’re not used it.
Looking at the prices for a new unlocked Nokia N97 are starting from $480 while the prices for a new unlocked BlackBerry Bold 9700 are starting from $430 so there is not a big difference talking about the prices.
One Comment on “Nokia N97 vs BlackBerry Bold 9700”
I find the BlackBerry Bold 9700 a better overall phone then the Nokia N97. The hardware on the Nokia N97 (at the time anyway) was pretty impressive, but I felt the software let it down.
