Difference between BlackBerry Bold 9700 and original

Is there a significant difference from the new Blackbery Bold 9700. Then the last Bold?

There are too many differences!!!

We're actually writing a review and creating a video to show a comparison between the 2 devices.

Just a quick summary,

1.) Bold 1 = Trackball, Bold 2 = Trackpad -- much smoother with the pad
2.) 9700 is a lot smaller and lighter than the 9000
3.) 9700 battery life is better
4.) 9700 has 5.0 pre-installed on it. Text messaging looks like the iPhone texting now or kind of like the new Blackberry messenger

Check out our blog. We've given a little more details on these differences. We'll be having a video coming soon to show the difference in quality between pictures and videos as well as much more!

I got the new bold the first day it came out on Bell Mobility..

It's smaller, less weight, it has a trackpad instead of the ball (new technology )
and it takes up less space in your pocket..
my ex-gf got the original bold and it was a very chunky thing..
The new bold is also sexier and the texting looks much better..
