We got our first review of the BlackBerry 9700 Bold aka Onyx back in May from Kevin. Then the device had a trackball instead of a trackpad and a few other missing tweaks. Now the BoyGenius has weighed in with his own review of the BlackBerry 9700 prototype. He calls it the “most gorgeous BlackBerry on the planet” so its an interesting read.
They will be following up with an AT&T release build but sadly it looks like even with the latest OS the browser is still not that much of an improvement.

So many folks pooh pooh’d the Tour keyboard as too small compared to Bold 9000, and Bold 9700 is “sleeker” than the Tour? I don’t get it. Tour was touted as “Best. Keyboard. Ever.”
