- Hey, thanks for the pictures and information.
I myself am still debating on whether to upgrade to the Tour 2/Bold when it comes out, but nice to hear it has 2GB of Internal Memory.
I also heard it will have OpenGL capabilities, and be able to run 3D games like the Storm 2..if so, then I might be more inclined to upgrade come August.

I'm not saying it isn't as I'm not sure about anything 9650-related at this point, but that's just what I gather from his comment.04-16-10 10:49 AMLike 0 - i think the fact that this has 2gig of memory is great, making this phone much faster the the 9630 with only 256mb or something... because this only a test model, you'll probably see a different OS being that there is already .6xx leaked for the 9650. and why is there few people worried about the back battery door and the bold branding, specs are way more important, anyways the bold branding looked like it didnt belong by the camera,04-16-10 11:44 AMLike 0

They need to crank the app memory and cpu power on these new devices... bah.04-16-10 11:53 AMLike 0 - This isnt worth upgrading from the tour imo. Next year will be my upgrade towards android unless BB really switches things up.04-16-10 11:54 AMLike 0
- You cannot install apps to the media card hence why they provided us with more on-board device storage.04-16-10 12:42 PMLike 0

- maybe the 2gb is for future os like 6.0, maybe rim is planning having this blackberry compatible with future 6.0os and webkit when it comes out..... maybe04-16-10 01:01 PMLike 0
- From a personal standpoint, I'm a bit disappointed with what the 9650 has to offer. I realize that the 9630 was plagued with the dreaded trackball problems, but if RIM wanted to truly bring the BOLD series to the CDMA community, make it "BOLD-ish", give the 9650 a better keyboard and display and make it a part of the 97X0 family.
I say make it part of the 97X0 family because if you take a look at the storm, the 9520 is a GSM device available for international carriers, 9530 is for regional carrier (Verizon); 9520 (again for International) & 9550 (for Verizon). The 96x0 line should be discontinued in favor of continuing the 97X0 family.
but it's personal thought...04-16-10 01:03 PMLike 0 - OS related? I dont think cause the Os is installed in the 256mb memory... The 2gb is only for media and system files(QL/Berrybuzz back up, IM history, etc...)04-16-10 01:05 PMLike 0

- I believe he is trying to say that your's should have the "Bold" stamp on the back regardless of the fact that it's a test unit or not, if it was the true 9650 final hardware.
I'm not saying it isn't as I'm not sure about anything 9650-related at this point, but that's just what I gather from his comment.04-16-10 01:58 PMLike 0 - Don't expect the 9650 to be noticeably faster, as the 9700 still is slow to boot as well, and these test devices are right at the same boot time. Granted all blackberries take forever to boot up... in my opinion it isn't that big of a deal.04-16-10 02:15 PMLike 0
- x2... also the only reason I posted the final 9650 hardware picture was to show the difference so far from your 9650, to the final one. Not much different so far, but shows the average person RIM can make final hardware changes before a phone comes out. I liked the 9700 test units that were out, those had a trackball in them a long with a metal flat battery door cover, then obviously put a trackpad into it before final units were out a long with a faux leather door on the 9700.04-16-10 02:25 PMLike 0
- Get a life...he's providing enough details as to be reasonable to believe. Why should he take the time just to satisfy your demands? Get real!
04-16-10 02:28 PMLike 0 - Why would I be embarrassed? I simply wanted proof that he wasn't a troll. I have seen plenty of thread on here of people claiming to already have an "official os" or an unreleased phone, but totally unwilling to provide proof. I don't feel like a moron, and I don't see it as being rude. I simply wanted to see a picture of it to validate this thread.04-16-10 02:32 PMLike 0

- Have you had an android device in hand? In my opinion... an android device is a toy.. a blackberry is a tool. I'd hate to see anyone switch and leave their trusty blackberry in the gutter. Although I can feel your pain with CDMA blackberries... they are not impressive. Just switch carriers.. a 9700 will keep a smile on your face.04-16-10 03:46 PMLike 0

Probably a no on using the 2gb memory for apps, maybe a software hack can figure that one out?
Probably could have used a little more tact in asking for the pictures?04-16-10 07:37 PMLike 0
