i've had a bb 9000 for like a year now, and I like it, its does a great jon and all that but with there are new phones out there like the 9700 or even the 9650 and im thinking in replacing my 9000 with a new phone but I dont know wich one performs best, the 9650 has more ram and i think it's a better phone, but i still have my doubts. So, wich phone should I get? Help will be great, thanks!

The 9650 is a great device and so is the 9700. They are both very similar with the 9650 just being newer and the more RAM as you mentioned. In my opinion the original Bold is still the superior device, well if it had a trackpad there would be no question about it.
I guess it really comes down to carrier, 9650 is CDMA while the 9700 is GSM. I would say if you don't mind switching carriers then go with the 9650.

You mean 9650 doesnt support gsm? Im not from US, but from another country and im using my current bold with a gsm card and all that. That means that i wont be able to use my gsm card if I get the 9650? Thanks for all the replies by the way =)

I've never seen or touched a 9650 but it's like the 9530, it will work on gsm, it just needs to be unlocked. I'd get the 9700 suitable for your network. AT&T and T-Mobile 9700 (unlocked) aren't interchangeable if you want to get 3G, different frequencies. The 9700 (operating on a good operating system) will yield far better battery life. Same battery as your 9000.

Then i guess it would be better a 9700, cause of 3G and all that.. Hope it can be upgraded to BB6 when it comes out thanks for the help guys
