Sure, it has more memory than the tour, and a faster processor (I think....), but it is entirely misleading to call it a Bold. The Bold was a long established top of the line RIM device for a long time, before the 9650.
So when the 9650 was released, imagine how many people were confused.... when just before release they were awaiting a new generation CDMA device.
