Lets get bold and compare this two!! Bold 9000 v/s bold 9700

I'm for one, a little skeptical about changing my bold 9000 for the new 9700

When i first hear of this new model, i was pretty sure to go to the carrier as soon as it gets there, but now i'm not so sure. Reviewing the compare list on blackberry.com, the only 3 major diferences were:

1. Broadband compatibility
2. multimedia
3. memory for apps

Even more...i have spent more than USD$150 on accesories for my bold 9000...i've got almost every single gadget out there: against bumps (OtterBox Defender Series), for the car (charger and cradel), for the belt (holsters...), cradels, chargers, stereo headset. I've even bought two sidings in blue and black + trackballs...and NONE of them it's good for the 9700...so you can imagine the things going on my mine, while thinking on going back to zero...

Can anyone make change my mind???...please???

Cheers

I like the new design, but I'm like you, where I just got my 9000 perfect and tricked out and got all the accessories and screen guards, apps etc. I haven't checked, but if the mini usb was changed to the micro usb, I will be seriously pissed, because I really like that I can have one cord for the majority of my other gagets. My headset uses the same cord as my 9000 as well as my Garmin Nuuvi, and a few other things I have also use it. I do like the shape of the new bold though, and think it looks rugged. I hope that trackpad thing works. I like the trackball, but it can be a weakpoint too. I'm going to keep this a year or so and see how that one pans out, let them work the bugs out etc.

So i'm not alone in the fight!!.

Ok...in any case...with all these accesories, i think i can sell my BB9000 for a much better price when the time comes (if...)

What's the retail on the 9700 by the way??. It went out to the market today in USA right??

And now, talkin' about capabilities, wich one is better??? (in a global view of course). Is the 9700 that much better than the 9000?, or it's just another smaller and lighter version with a better camera?

I find the Bold to be the better of all BB models out there. So i expect the next version to be right up to the challenge!!

Keep the comments going please eveekers!
