Is anyone dropping the 9650 for the bold touch?

**lax42** · 05-02-2011, 08:45 PM

Are you guys going to drop the bolds you guys have now for the touch one? And do you think this phone will also put RIM back on top? Or close to it? I'm just curious how current bold users feel about the touch bold

i will be...the bold 9650 is super slow...and seems outdated...

**Trem44** · 05-02-2011, 09:07 PM

I'll strongly consider it, it's just a matter what the price is going to be and if the funds are there. This phone is the real deal, nice big form factor, and seems to be way fast. I can see this phone being a big hit for RIM.

I'm hoping it's going to be as good as it sounds and I'll pick it up as my NE2 is soon.

I'll be the guy in the parking lot at 5am on the release date! This will hopefully keep BlackBerry on top where I think they are already. Just my opinion though! I am not as excited about the touch screen as I am the faster processor and BB7!

Will it run OS 5 so that I can get Column View? (gd&r in the old vernacular) or

You could always sell your 9650 on ebay and get around 200-250 depending on the condition and pay the extra money for the touch if you really wanted it that bad

I'm going to suffer with my 9650 until the QNX phones come out. My contract will be up by then and I will have an upgrade.

**Snowbawll** · 05-03-2011, 03:47 AM

If anything ill drop my 9650 for that curve touch

, new bold seems like too much phone for anyone...

Let's hope OS 7 has column view. And with the bigger screen, it should be right up your alley F2.

Are you kidding me? Too much phone? I didn't think someone could have too much phone.

**jaydee5799** · 05-03-2011, 06:15 AM

Nope. The Bold Touch is the size of the 9000, right? Too big for my tastes. Don't want a touch screen, either.
Besides, my 9650 is "enough phone for me" right now.

And what carriers are going to offer it?

Ditto. Toying with trading my 9650 in for more $, but I will likely hold onto it as a backup, just in case. Unless the 9930 is more than $199.

I am a huuuuuuge fan of column view. But I feel like the touch screen will make some of that moot. Not all....but some.

So the Bold Touch keyboard is bigger than the 9650's?

"They" say that Sprint will offer it late in Q2 of this year...

Probably me.
If my upgrade allows.

**jaydee5799** · 05-03-2011, 09:17 AM

Oh good Lord F2, what are you gonna do? They aren't gonna load OS5 on a new Bold Touch!!!!

**carrickfergus** · 05-03-2011, 09:42 AM

Without a doubt. The day Verizon releases it. I'll probably give my 9650 to my son.

**rryoung#AC** · 05-03-2011, 09:44 AM

yea for sure, i love my bold but the new bold touch is so much better. I will be getting it the first day its available!

**cbreze** · 05-03-2011, 09:47 AM

The screen is only slightly larger than the 9650(.4") so it will be interesting to see how well it works for touch flo. I'm really happy to see the touchpad included. This could be a really sweet device. I don't think the slightly larger size is going to be a bad thing at all, more ease of use is all. I think RIM is touting this as their thinnest ever BB.
