I got my 9700 on the first day. I upgraded from an 8320 Titanium Curve on T-mobile. Going in I really thought that there would be no way it would be worth any price to upgrade, because really how much better could it really be? WELL, I couldn't be more happy.
Everything is so much faster! Getting from one screen to another, opening programs, closing programs. The track-pad is much easier to use than the track-ball and you don't have to worry about the dirty discoloring. The 5.0 operating system is a giant leap better than the one on the 8320. Basically everything is way more user-friendly and the bedside mode clock is very useful
The camera is great, and the video recording is even better! I was surprised at how well the video recording is, not to mention the sound quality it produces through it is great too. The KEYPAD! When i first looked at the phone and initially felt it, i thought typing was going to be a lot worse and was a big decision maker for me as I got the phone, but luckily for the grace period I was ok to jump ship anyway to test it out. The keypad is AMAZING! The keys now feel perfect and I make very noticeably less mistakes than I did with my curve when texting, which i REALLY thought would be impossible because the curve keypad is great. The screen is much more crisp and colorful looking than the curve as well.
The 9700 really is an all in one, it's built great, runs great, looks great, feels great and has every feature you want or need on a phone(unless you LOVE touchscreen, goto iPhone). I would have to rate this phone a 9.9/10, because really no phone can be perfect, but this one to me truly is, but in general I'm just being real.
i have seen one for the 9000 but not compatible
