Simulation tools are extremely important when it comes to application development; all the more in the case of mobile apps since testing them on a physical device can prove to be quite expensive sometimes.

Quick installation

As the name clearly suggests, BlackBerry 9700 Simulator is an emulating solution for the BlackBerry 9700 mobile device. It can be easily installed on the system and at the end of the procedure you end up with a digital replica of the actual smartphone. All the dependencies can be automatically added if they're missing.After the simulator is loaded you can set up the device so that it turns into suitable testing grounds. There are options for configuring WiFi settings, social networking or for tweaking the visuals of the device.

Navigating from one option to another cannot be carried out using mouse input on the screen but on the buttons of the device. For easier usage the middle mouse button can be mapped to click the trackball or to toggle the trackball mode.The phone is equipped with the default apps, and just like in the case of the real thing, there is the possibility to make various adjustments in order to test the app with various set ups.Among the options there are multiple choices for graphical acceleration and simulation of various states of the device. As such, you can assess the performance of the app when the headset is connected or under different battery charge conditions.Furthermore, the network properties allow emulation of both GSM and Wlan connections.
