The Bold 9700 was the definitive 2010 BlackBerry: a compact QWERTY keyboard, an optical trackpad, the red blinking notification light, and BlackBerry Messenger. Alongside the cheaper Curve 8520, it made RIM one of the world's top smartphone makers, with about 16 percent of 2010 global smartphone sales.
