RIM played its trump card in the smartphone battle in the run up to Christmas today, the Blackberry Bold 9700. We’re in love with the QWERTY’s slim size and solid keyboard, but if the hands-on photos and official video haven’t swayed you just yet, we’ve got some hands-on video right here for you too!

Recombu was on hand at the Blackberry Bold 9700 launch in Germany today, and hoovered up some video for you of the email machine being out through its paces, as well as a presentation from RIM CEO Mike Lazaridis.


Blackberry Bold 9700: hands-on photo avalanche!


You’ve spied our hands-on photos already, but if you give the play button a whirl you can get a sense of just how polished the kit is, as well as the incredible responsiveness of the new optical trackpad on the Blackberry Bold 9700.

Looking to get one? The Blackberry Bold 9700 is out next month, and the first pricing news is coming through. Vodafone is set to offer it free on a two year, £35 a month contract with BlackBerry push email with unlimited data and texts. We’ve got a feeling other networks will be coming out of the woodwork soon though, as they did with the Curve 8900, so watch out for more pricing info shortly.
