At the first look, these two phones are way too similar but there got to be something different between them because they also got different names so continue reading this post to find out what are the differences between these two phones.

First, you should know that between these two phones, there is a difference of release time of a year because the BlackBerry Curve 8900 has been launched on November 2008 while the BlackBerry Bold 9700 has been launched on November 2009.

Also, the BlackBerry Bold 9700 weights 122 grams while the BlackBerry Curve 8900 weights 110 grams so this is not a big difference.

Both phones have the same resolution of 480x360 pixels but the BlackBerry Bold 9700 has a 2.44” screen while the BlackBerry Curve 8900 has a screen of 2.4”.

I think that most of you already noticed that while the BlackBerry Curve 8900 has a trackball, the BlackBerry Bold 9700 comes with a trackpad.

At the same time, both phones are featuring 256Mb of internal memory and also 256Mb of RAM memory, supporting in their microSD port up to 16GB. Still, when you buy a BlackBerry Bold 9700 you also get a microSD card of 2GB while for the BlackBerry Curve 8900, you need to buy your own.

Even when you talk about photos, these phones are also similar because they feature the same 3.15 MP and 2048x1536 pixels camera with autofocus and LED flash.

Probably the last big difference is that the BlackBerry Curve 8900 has a 512 MHz processor while the BlackBerry Bold 9700 comes with a processor of 624 MHz.

Even when you talk about the prices, these phones are similar with the prices for a new unlocked BlackBerry Curve 8900 starting from $328 and with the prices for the BlackBerry Bold 9700 starting from $325 so you can say that these phones have the same price making obvious that the winner in this ‘battle’ is the BlackBerry Bold 9700 either that my favorite remains the BlackBerry Curve 8900.
