Just a question. How can you have followed this post since the end of November if your join date says March 2010????
Anyways, I think this thread will go on until the first real confirmation of the new bold so its good to follow up on it once and awhile. And I understand your frustration of really needing a new phone. I once had a phone who I had to get replaced about 3 times due to different malfunctions and didnt/coudnt upgrade yet. 
Thank god for cell insurance.04-03-10 08:56 PM - Upcomming/Rumored section??? I think its came gone and returned.
lol
And as for sprint I think they offer a pretty good deal. Yearly upgrades,but as to how I dont know. My friends who have sprint dont tell me nothing but how much less they pay than they do for their service. When it comes to cell insurance I dont know if just getting insurance grants you an early upgrade. I know when I baught a new phone just after I had already upgraded they asked again if I wanted insurance for the new phone. Thats with my carrier so I dont know about sprint. And fyi, those 2 phones I paid at full price were LG phones. The 2nd,3rd, and 4th were the LGEnv1. What an annoyance they were. One wouldnt charge, the other double clicked the ok button, and the last restarted when I tried to send a pic/vid text. I should have listened to my self and gotten the 8703e because I think it was out at the time. lol04-03-10 11:05 PM - Sprint has prices that are hard to beat and decent coverage, but their present phones are downright atrocious.
Because I didn't register with the forums, I was just watching them hoping it would come out on Feb 3rd like the rest of the people following the forum. I just registered recently.Just a question.

I have been following it for the last 3 months at least and don't care about buying it at full price.. I have to get rid of my dare but here is my question. This phone is coming out months and months after the Bold 9700, You would think that it would be sleeker/better than the 9700 which brings up my question: Why is it called the Bold 9650 or 9670? Why cant it be called like the 9750 or something higher than the 96xx to make me happy and feel like i am getting a newer better phone than the bold 9700. And other than that, My uncle has the 9700 and I cant even begin to tell you how much i love it seeing as i am new to blackberries and never had one before. I just hope the new bold for verizon looks/feels like the 9700.. heck i would even be ecstatic if the new bold was just the 9700 for verizon... I just will be so disappointed if it looks like the tour or something because they hit the nail on the head with the design of the bold 9700

04-04-10 10:57 AM - you bring up good points that even insiders questioned about. No one understands why this Bold is not in the 97** group. There are still some that say it will be 97**, but who knows how true that is.Okay, there is one thing that has just been bugging me so damn much with this phone...

there are a lot of un-answered questions a lot of us have about this phone that doesnt make a lot of sense yet.
All we know is that in 3 weeks we will know everything there is to know about this phone when its announced at the WES show by RIM.04-04-10 11:01 AM -
Soo many people are bringing up this whole WES thing... Iv read a TON of places that WES has not exactly been the place that they announce new phones in the past. I know nothing about WES seeing as my interest to blackberries started like 6 months ago and i am going to keep my hopes up about WES but i just hope this event is different than the past. Hah I already have my LG Dare sold to a friend so I am just hoping this thing comes out SOON because I don't them to change their mind about buying it
Quick question, Its off topic but figured may as well throw it in here because everyone here knows so much about blackberries and this thread has gone off topic since iv been here to read page 10. I know you have to get a $30 data plan for a BlackBerry for it to be activated and work or whatever, but i was told the other day that there is a blackberry fee...? like to use blackberry messenger etc. there is an extra $10 fee a month? I was told by a droid user that is my friend and I don't believe him from my prior knowledge but he does know a decent amount about everything. I am fine paying $30 a month for internet and everything but when you get to about $40 a month i don't feel like spending $400+ a year for just a data plan :/ i can swallow $300ish a year for a data plan. Thanks and sorry for off topic :XLast edited by flip4life4751; 04-04-10 at 11:16 AM. Reason: really need to proof this before i post :X
04-04-10 11:14 AM - He is wrong. The 30 a month covers all data, including BBM. Its the same price that he pays for his Droid.Soo many people are bringing up this whole WES thing...

- I felt like I was a traitor
for even researching HTC)
The longer I have to wait for the Tour2, the higher my expectation is of the specs on the final product. (I was geared up about buying a Tour2 back at Christmas/New Years!) Otherwise, after all this waiting I may go "Incredible" or EVO 4g.04-04-10 08:43 PM - Ditto. I hope its not going to be the same bs hassle with the new curve 8530. Like I said I've been tempted to get the 8530,but it fails primarily for the no flash. I dont care about wifi which I think is useless if your on vzw anyways unless you live near a desert. Only thing I really like is that it has almost triple the memory of my bb. So, whenever this new 9650 comes out I hope not to be dissapointed and if so not more dissapointed if the 9630 is discontinued upon release of the 9650.04-04-10 11:22 PM
