This one's built around the QWERTY keyboard rather than a touchscreen, which was BlackBerry's whole approach back in 2009. The 2.44-inch TFT display runs at 480 x 360 pixels, small by today's standards but typical for a messaging-focused device of this era. Inside, a 624 MHz processor pairs with 256 MB RAM and 256 MB internal storage, with microSD support up to 16 GB if you need more room.

The rear camera sits at 3.15 MP with autofocus and LED flash, and there's no front camera at all, so this isn't a phone for selfies or video calls. It runs BlackBerry OS v5.0, upgradable to v6.0, and connects over Wi-Fi, GPS and HSDPA. A 1500 mAh battery keeps the 122 g body running.

BlackBerry Bold 9700 price in Malaysia starts from RM700. It comes in Black or White, and remains a niche pick for anyone who specifically wants a physical keyboard over a modern touchscreen setup.
