its the same thing i tell every customer. both are great phones. the bold just adds a bigger camera (which i dont think they even mentioned..lol), slightly higher rez screen and some extra media features. people with nails tend to like the curve a lil better since the extra space between the keys is a lil more "nail overhang" friendly. other than that, most go for the bold.. why... cuz its the upper end, and peeps like having "the best" lol. wanna pay $100 more for what equates to a slightly bigger camera.. go ahead. lol

9700 has bigger keys which the latter are smaller yet more space..bigger hands=need wider keys

The high resolution of the Bold is very noticeable when reading text. It is a drastic and very much appreciated improvement. RIM should abandon using low resolution LCD panels for BlackBerry screens. The Tour is far more appealing than the Curve for the same reason.
