I traded in my BB9650 today for the HTC Evo. I've owned a BB of some sort for the last 9 years. I was a BB diehard and blowhard. I always recommended them to friends and co workers.
My previous Curve 8330 worked near flawlessly for the last 3 years. The day the 9650 came out I used my upgrade to get the new Bold. The phone itself was great and a huge step up from the 8330. My problem is I could never get a decent signal. I got NO signal at all in my house and couldn't even place or receive a call. The Sprint CS people were great and sent me an Airave for no charge and this helped immensely. Away from the house I was still dropping calls left and right. Sprint CS wiped my phone and did all the necessary diagnostics but to no avail. In the 3 weeks I had the 9650 I dropped over 25 calls in various area on various towers. My signal ranged anywhere from No Signal to -122 to -102 dbm
So it is with much regret that today I left the BB world for the HTC Evo. It's a nice phone but the touchscreen is going to take some getting used to and I'm going to miss BBM like crazy.
Good luck with your new Bolds.

That's just like my tour, but better. That would be the perfect device for me.I traded in my BB9650 today for the HTC Evo. I've owned a BB of some sort for the last 9 years.
