As I took my new 9700 in my hands for the first time I knew there was magic. Having been so pleased with my 9000 except for the size I really didn't expect the 9700 to be that much of an improvement. The size was the obvious change and one of the best initial features for me. However, the 9700 isn't just another "pretty face". Believe me beauty isn't just skin deep on this BlackBerry. The camera is amazing. The attached picture is taken in my bathroom with no windows, door shut and lights off. Total darkness! You couldn't ask for a better picture. It also gives you an option to choose what size to send the picture when emailing it. While the screen and keyboard might be a tad smaller I don't even notice the difference. With the increased memory I haven't gotten any out of memory messages and my battery life has been great. No more switching batteries 2 or 3 times a day. The one thing I liked more on my 9000 than the 9700 is the external memory card slot. Other than that I'm truly a happy camper with my new 9700.
