Verizon seems to have pulled the old Bold models from the online store today.

Nice catch, I just went and verified. Now someone needs to call and ask CS what happened to the 9650 and why! They have to know something now.

I'd call but im tired of calling them...

You can call 15 different times and get 15 different answers. Verizon's left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing and half the time, there is a mutiny where one wants to stab the other with a rusty fork. Not nagging on Verizon's CSRs but it's that way with Sprint too. I had *numerous* dealings with them calling every other week for problems with phones and I got a different answer every time I call. Until it's up on the website and for sale, I doubt anyone can give you the same answer twice as to why the Bold is gone. You'll get EOLd, We don't know, unsure, let me ask my supervisor and so on.

Texted a friend of mine who's a Verizon rep in a store in Memphis. Her reply "Don't know why Bold is gone. Heard new phone was coming soon. Don't know when."

Edit: Since PK went musical, here's another one for you

The 9650 is ... Gone like a freight train, gone like yesterday.
