Photos: New BlackBerry Bold-ly goes for European design

But latest iteration of the BlackBerry Bold smartphone is a "little less bold" than before...

Speaking at a press briefing in Bochum today, Mike Lazaridis said the one common request of users of the original Bold was 'can't you make it a little smaller'? "It was a little too bold for some," the co-CEO joked.

Both smaller and lighter than the original, and with a more modest silhouette, the 9700 has other tweaks too. There's a higher resolution display and a bigger megapixel camera: up from two megapixels to 3.2 megapixels.
