Default Difference between Bold 9700 and Bold 9780?

Does anyone know the difference between these two devices? I want to upgrade and am not sure which to get. Also, do they both have SIM cards?

You can check out the specifications here.

The 9780 is brand new and has twice as much memory as the 9700. The 9780 also has a better camera and ships with OS 6 installed.

Both the 9700 and 9780 use SIM cards.

Thanks!

Do you happen to know why Telus never has the white version of the Bolds?

That's a good question - I don't think they've had White versions of any BlackBerry :S

The white version has the same specs as the black version, only thing is the housing, that's it.

Default How can I tell what is a 9700 vs 9780

I'm wanting to buy a new used phone on a buy and sell local website. I've seen some described as a Blackberry Bold 9700 2 (I don't think there is such a thing)...How can I tell if I am getting a real Blackberry Bold 9780 and not a Blackberry Bold 9700? Help!

9700: 3.2MP Camera, 256ram, ships with OS5.
9780: 5MP Camera, 512ram, ships with OS6.

The 9780 also has a darker housing than the 9700 I think.
