Well my friends RIM did give us at least one surprise

Man o man have we all waited for the Tour 2/Bold 9650 to come down the pipeline. Well now it's out in the open as I'm sure you all saw on the crackberry front page. I remember most were ticked off that the Bold 9650 would end up being a Tour with only a trackpad and wifi added and we all hoped for some good surprise from RIM.

My opinion is that RIM did deliver a nice little surprise by putting 512mb of RAM into the device. I think the success with these new Blackberry devices coming soon is 99% more about how OS 6 runs and performs compared to what the hardware looks like.

I know in a short while when the 4G iPhone is announced the conversation will heat up again with what OS 6 and the new Blackberry devices can do versus what the iPhone can do. What I can already say is the new iPhone is looking to support video chat with a front facing camera, we all know Blackberry doesn't have that yet. Maybe RIM will give us that feature in 2017 lol.

Wait, what was the surprise?

No surprise here. Marginal update. Bold 9000 can still do just as much as this. RIM is stinkin it up. Seriously.

RIM brings out a new phone with two year old technology...thank you.
