how can RIM even consider the 9700 a "bold" blackberry anyway? if anything, it's an upgraded curve/tour...
I hope the dakota/magnum comes out soon, like this summer because I'm getting the iPad and leaving my iPhone & want to come back to berryland when that happens and I only like the 9000's form factor, but the device itself is too underpowered after having the 9700 and iPhone 3GS. so yah(:
anyone else feel the 9700 shouldn't be called the "bold" ?

I also agree, and it would be cool to see a true Bold successor with the same general size and form factor as the 9000, and then release one on a CDMA carrier as well!
I too cannot wait for a larger device, I love the 9000, and the 9700 is great, it just doesn't feel the same in my hands.
For that reason I'm holding off upgrading for now until this fabled big berry arrives, I'd love more memory, a trackpad, better camera etc, but without thumb cramp, pleeeaaase?!?

I'm talking about the 9000, not the 9700. The 9000 is big and clunky, which is why it was redesigned
The 9000 is bigger than the 9700, but it's far from what I'd call too big, or "big and clunky"
It's in the same ballpark as the iphone/83** size wise, it's hardly like carrying a small car around with you all day, I'm sure we'll see another larger device so there muse be demand for it.

uh correct me if im wrong isnt that what the tour and tour 2 is?
I don't know how many times I have to say it but it is true. The consumer's that come into our stores are STILL into the 9000.
There are many reasons & yes we sell the 9700, but we still have some blackberry users SEEKING OUT the 9000.
I still have my 9000 and tried the 9700 for a week. I prefer the 9000. Many reasons that are always mentioned but It needs to be recognized that there are plenty of people still buying the 9000 and plenty more who are waiting for the exact phone the op is refereing to.
To be honest, I have never had a phone this long and love my original bold. But a change is in the air. I hope RIM has something ready to go, or alot of people like me will be looking elsewhere.
Keep in mind, I'm a former Unlocked Phone guy, Had an I Phone, have tried Windows Mobile and know and have used the Droid Model.
The Bold 9000 smokes them all...STILL.
But sooner or later, I will find a new device & I hope it is a Blackberry, who knows.
