Well i have made up my mind. and the blackberry isnt the phone for me. im going to get the cliq. i thought long and hard and the blackberry is not the right phone for me. im only 13 years old, i dont need the blackberry for my work or corporate email i would rather have a phone that has a better browser, android, and apps. thanks for all the information you guys have provided. cliq here i come.
yeah thats what im going to do. i have played with the bold 2 before, and my dad has had the cliq. but before i buy it ill have them both side by side and ill see which one i like better. but i think it will be the cliq.

I swapped my old 9700 for a new one and its getting great reception, though the Cliq still had better reception (that might just be my area). As for selling your Cliq for the 9700, if email and dependence on a reliable device important to you, get the Cliq. BlackBerry's are known for there powerful email capabilities, and the 9700 is no exception. The Cliq on the other hand is power of a "fun" device, if I may say. The Cliq has a better camera as well (5MP) and also takes pretty nice pictures when in the right lighting conditions (same goes for the 9700, but the Cliq picture quality is a bit better IMO). If you're looking for a nice fun device the Cliq does just that. If you are more going to be using the handset for business purposes, or for email, the BlackBerry 9700 will be a great choice. Both handsets have an appealing look. But no doubt about it, the BlackBerry Bold 9700 is light-years ahead of Motorola in regards of design & look, IMO. Both handsets have pretty good call quality, but battery life on the 9700 is definitely better than the Cliq. Cliq lasted me around half a day on moderate usage. While on the other hand the Bold 9700 lasts me around 2 days on moderate usage. im having issues as well! is it a documented issue or most people seem to get good reception?
