You get one of the fastest 3G phones for nothing. nada. zip. So what are you waiting for? I would have ordered one already myself, but I already have the bold, I may however, upgrade my wife’s 9000….

1. Set Email Filters. Yes that’s right, set some email filters to block unnecessary messages received on your handheld. The fewer wireless transmissions your BlackBerry makes, the longer your battery will last.
2. Decrease the backlight timeout and/or brightness. This is especially true for the newer 7100, and 7290 handhelds. Go to Options –> Screen/Keyboard to set the backlight options.
3. Disable wireless sync on applications that you do not use, e.g. Memopad. Is it really necessary to transmit memopad data over the air? If not, then just disable Wireless Synchronization from the Memopad Options.
4. Turn Wireless Off when you are in areas of poor coverage. The BlackBerry will greatly increase it’s output in poor coverage, and this can be very draining on your battery.
5. Set the Auto On/Off. Unless you’re on call 24 hours a day, chances are you won’t be using your BlackBerry late at night. So set the Auto On/Off to shut your BlackBerry off.
6. Set your profiles to have the BlackBerry vibrate and ring less often. Even just reducing the number of beeps can give you a little extra battery life.

As a last resort, if your BlackBerry battery simply doesn’t last long enough, you can buy an extra battery. If you have any tips or tricks you’d like to share with us, leave a comment or hit us on Twitter

AT&T Bold 9700 Box

The contents of the box include the head phones, holster, charger, and CD with the Blackberry User Tools (BBDM). Also included is the Quick Start manual no one looks at. I will admit that when I first opened the box, I was a little taken back by the size of the 9700. I got used to the larger feel of the 9000, and the 9700 is a deal smaller in comparison. The back battery door slides off as opposed to the latching door on the 9000 and it has the same leathery patch on it that the 9000 has.

Boot time of the new phone was surprisingly fast, I’m sure that will slow a bit once I load some programs and my email in to the device, but for the moment, this is one of the quickest devices I’ve used. The Memory listed shows that there is 127mb of free space for apps, and 1.8gb of storage available. Its running OS 5.0.0.296 (Platform 5.1.0.83).

My initial observations of the 9700 are good, it looks and feels like a nicely made device. It does seem that it will take some time to get used to the trackpad as opposed to the ball, but the nice thing about the pad is that it won’t get stuck like the ball does (we hope). I’ll load the phone up with devices and use it a bit over the weekend and I’ll post a complete review with screenshots early next week.

More images after the jump!
