The BlackBerry Bold 9700 on AT&T is a powerful, comfortable, and even somewhat chic smartphone—just like the T-Mobile version we reviewed last month. That's all to be expected from an update to the popular BlackBerry Bold 9000, which our Editor-in-Chief Lance Ulanoff carries as his day-to-day business phone. At just $99 with a two-year contract after rebates, the Bold 9700 is a good value for corporate types needing a BlackBerry for work, or for anyone else immune to the iPhone's charms.
