The Blackberry I was waiting for? I have been wanting a Bold refresh for a LOOOOOOONG time. I am happy the day has come, but a bit disappointed on the specs. Like you said, no QNX. Surprise on the HD video cam though.
No LTE support. I know as LTE still is not really there yet, if I want to get this phone, what if we don't see a refresh in years like how long we have waited for it now? I still am on the 9000 cause I have waited so long. I hope in the final product they add some stuff. No word on the processor. Hopefully its AT LEAST the same as the torch 2 at 1.2 GHz. 1gig of RAM would be nice too
.
As for the appearance, I wish they would change the bezel. They kept the same chrome as the 9000. I don't know about you but mines chipped off so easily and was a bit annoying, I just wished it would chip off completely to make it all black. From the looks of the pictures its slimmer too. Did you see the single button in the center of the top of the phone? Is that the lock button? Why cant they make it like the torch's? The torch's buttons on top are smooth and looks better.
I guess we all just need to wait and see what comes out of it. Its been years that I have waited for this refresh and can't wait to see what they come up with. Hopefully they have listened and put stuff to have these phones compete with the other phones on things outside of BBM, push e-mail, and the famous keyboard.
Shout out to phoneking13. Haven't seen you in the forums for a while

Even crackberry kevin said in his review that of the 9000 had the specs of the 9780 then it would be his no. 1 phone! I'm happy to see the integration of the touch screen and qwerty keyboard, I know this is the same idea as the torch, but there would be no need for any sliding!
is there any hints of release dates at all?
I am getting the 9780 so will probably give this one a skip but I am really interested in this
Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com01-15-11 11:16 AM - Next to the Torch2 it does look a lot wider so I think it's safe to say it's gonna be 9000 size.Yes! Absolutely.

Who knows, they may make it LTE in the final product, hopefully. We will see.H3ll to the mofo nah!!
The Bold 9000 form factor belongs in the trash heap of RIMs history. Even if the rumored refresh had QNX and was LTE I would not want to own that brick.01-15-11 03:44 PM - I have to admit, having a touch screen would be quicker than a track pad for cruising through and selecting stuff from the menus.
I would like the slightly bigger 9000 form factor too.
It really should have LTE though.
Now, if we can we have this with CDMA, and offered by Sprint, I'm on board!
Qbnkelt, you crushed your 9800?

This mythical phone needs releaaed already, and the legacy of Bold resumed. GSM and CDMA versions, please RIM. *bbm bat eyes*01-16-11 04:09 PM
