Kind of reminds me of "The Ring" you will receive a 9650 in seven days!

More like pulling hair and teeth out at loose battery covers, OS bugs, dust behind screen.. you know.. QA as normal!

Hopefully no one will die... of intense satisfaction from finally having the 9650 released, haha.

[tourboy]

Exactly!

Honestly, don't know what we will do at that point...probably still not believe it is finally released.

lol was just got an email about that ^^ and was about to post it. Can't be far now.

[Fusion528]

It's showing up in posters and ads now. Finally lol.

Finally.

Now let's see some pricing info. I REALLY hope it won't be the rumored $199 for a 2 year contract. That's just absurd, especially with competition like the Incredible for the same price.

[pflorio]

Maybe 149? That would be better !

Well the bold 9650 is more phone then the Incredible. One being that the Bold is a world phone racks up the price too.

not quite...
8mp camera, 1ghz processor, wireless N, built in 8 gigs of storage,
do you think the 9650 will even match these specs?

yes being a world phone is important to some people... but i dont think the price of all these things adds up to that one feature.

I think all of the 9650's specs will be at least double that, if not triple.

well then i will be happy to pay the 199$ on launch day

[tourboy]

Think that is really a personal issue...many have reviewed the Incredible as the best smartphone now out there, but it all comes down to a personal choice and touchscreen over keyboard, etc.

Of course there are certain factors that make the Bold more appealing than the Incredible but those factors alone don't economically add up to the raw power of the Incredible. I would personally never buy the Incredible as I hate touch screens but it's absolutely absurd to pay the same $200 on an already outdated BB when that $200 can go towards a phone with an 8mp camera, 1ghz processor, wireless N, and built in 8 gigs of storage. I think I'll just wait for the Bold to come down in price.

i agree with you on this, but i doubt i have the self discipline to wait for the price to come down. ive already had my 8330 for 2 years now. so if they start the price at 199$ then they will be pulling a little extra cash out of my wallet and im sure alot of other peoples.

i wish I was only paying 200 bucks for the Bold 9650... Looks like I'm going to have to pay 600 bucks probably for the retail of the Bold since my contract is not up.

haha yes my sarcastic font was not working at the time. definitely not expecting those specs.

I did that for the T1. OUCH. Have you gone thru any replacement units? If so you can squawk. I am on my 4th due to the track ball so I am whining on May 1st.
