Well done for paying attention! It was a bit of a misleading sentence, so I’ll let you off…

1. “and it’s BlackBerry’s OS which will”. You clearly have no idea how to use the apostrophe, correct: its.

* * *

You know, it’s always embarrassing to point out someone’s “mistake,” only to find out that they were right and you were the one who was wrong, isn’t it?

I mention this only because “it’s” is correct in this instance. It’s short for “it is.”

But then, being a punctuation expert, you probably already knew that, and were just testing the rest of us to make sure we were paying attention.

Good review I will be buying my first blackberry for business. Good old Norman sounds by the nasty tone of his e-mail, like he has no mates. Well done Lynsey for not telling him where to place his blackberry.

@noman

Did you pay to read this review? Did it provide the information that it said it would? Did it promise perfect grammar? By the way you spell grammar with an “ar” not and “er”. Take it easy on a writer that provides free information to you.

I found that this review was acceptable for what I needed. Thanks reviewer.
PS I can’t wait to own this phone.

Grammar and the web are not synonymous! I am a Bold 9000 user,
on his fourth trackball since purchase Dec. ‘08. So, if the
new trackpad is impervious to dirt/grease and the 9700 is otherwise basically
the same as a 9000 updated to OS 5.0, I’d buy it – once it also included a
flash player.

@ Jonathan

Are you joking?

My review contains virtually no grammer mistakes you fool but lets say it did, it wouldn’t matter because my job isn’t writing articles which requires someone with excellent grammer. I wouldn’t be surprised if your ‘Sam’, the reviewer disguised as ‘Jonathan’!

I was simply stating that the Camera had improved but wasn’t mentioned in the review. Plus the other points I mentioned. Thanks Linsey for attemping to clear some things up. I have the BlackBerry Curve and I’m not a business user.

Hi Norman – Linsey from Fonehome here. Apologies for not mentioning the camera, but, the BlackBerry Bold 9700 is not primarily a camphone – it’s a business tool, and therefore it’s about its processing power, apps and its ease of use when emailing and connecting to the web.
That said, the camera has been improved to 3.2MP with increased light sensitivity, but we think that prospective camphone buyers would look to offerings from Samsung, LG or Sony Ericsson.
I’ve also changed the missing word in the review, but kept “it’s” as it is – in this instance it’s a contraction of “it is” and so correct.
Hope this all makes sense!

Noman,

Are you joking? Your review contains more grammar mistakes than you found in the whole of the 9700 review.

Grow up, and work out what’s important in life. Grammar, quite frankly, is not.

You slip in the devastating comment at the very end that the keyboard is not as good as other blackberrys – how can you do that? The keyboard is one of, if not THE most important aspect to a blackberry user. Please explain what you thought was wrong with this keyboard – I was about to buy this model but now I’ll hold off until I understand what this is about.

Poor review, nothing mentioned about the camera-especially if theres any shutter lag/GPS software/price/performance of processor/photos of the actual device held in hand etc are all missing…plus theres a few grammer mistakes:

1. “and it’s BlackBerry’s OS which will”. You clearly have no idea how to use the apostrophe, correct: its.
2. “let you open more than window at a time”. You forgot “one”.

I haven’t seen any other reviews of phones on this website so maybe this poor level is normal for you. I won’t be coming back that’s for sure…
