I did purchase shares of rimm today.....
20 minutes for push email!! Are you kidding. My device with 719 has never been better. Even the battery life has gotten better this week.

19 days and counting!!!!! my 9650 is history and I'm not going back to bb too many issues 4 four new phones in two years too many bugs too many batt pulls too many random reboots. I'm going to the i4s can't wait 3 of my co workers got the 4s at the same time some on sprint some on Verizon and they rave about it!!!!! I'll gladly trade my led indicator too not have any and all of the above problems that seem to be accepted and normal for blackberry users! So long bb!!!! May be some day you will get your sh*t together! I'm super psyched for Suri !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I plan on keeping my BB 9650 for at least the next few months. It still works well for me.

Just got rid of my 9650 last monday. If I didn't have a reception problem with sprint at my house that went unfixed and cs nightmare stories from trying to deal with it I would still rock it.

Loving my new 9900 and att service.

Congrats Chris!

I'm still rocking mine, and expect to till a qwerty BB10 is available. I have had some signal quality issues myself, but fortunately VZW has been great for CS so far.

For EMail and streaming aud which is all I use it for the BB 9650 is fully satisfactory. I also have a small droid tablet that I use for book reading and other things.

IMO, the 9650 is the best looking of the BlackBerries. Had my 9930 on a table next to one, and couldn't help feel a bit jealous. It's the same feeling I had after I got my 9700 and my buddy got his 9650. The 9650 just feels and looks better.

Definitely! The entire thing, especially the back, screams "Professional".

Eh, having some antenna issues. I'll bounce from full to no bars and back, constantly. Less than a mile from the tower, with no obstructions. I think they got a bad batch, but they keep swapping.

I get that bouncing from full to no bars as well sometimes and I use a Sprint Airrave (like a mini-cell tower) at home.

However when I use my Bold on GSM in Central America, I get a consistent 4-5 bars reading most of the time with no crazy fluctuating.

Odd, it's always considered a rock-solid phone. My first went a year before starting this crap. You're the only one I've heard with my issue. I'll be sure to let you know if the next is a repeat.
