Nothing's happening tomorrow. The store I frequent has good people and while they are clueless, they do know what is and what is not in their back room. They have said no Bold 9650 has been delivered and the new phones are always in the store 2-3 days before they're released for sale. The reps. have to get to know the new phones and they have to put out display models. The wait continues.
Right?! At this point I would just be happy with an official announcement. I just REALLY need a new phone. My Voyager dies within an hour of use now.
I feel you on the voyager. I'm on my 2nd phone and 2nd software update and its still a piece of crap phone. Vzw has made it more than clear that their priority is these android phones. It very well could be a silent release for the 9650 but i kinda doubt it cause when it drops its going to be their best blackberry hands down. It wasn't much of a promotion but they did push that curve 2 for a little bit. So its gotta be something for this phone. There probably won't be a reason to head to a vzw store tommorrow. If i wake up that curious i'll just call a store and ask if its available. At least thats a question a vzw store rep can answer and not get it wrong.

I haven't had any problems with my Voyager until recently, but the battery issue is because it's old.
I'm dying to go back to BlackBerry, but I also highly doubt it'll be released tomorrow. As long as I get it before June I'll be happy.

I actually saw that post earlier but by the time I hit the refresh key it was gone...thought my eyes were playing tricks on me. I just assumed they posted it in the wrong forum.

Yeah sorry people, I didn't realize that anyone would have seen that post since I deleted it almost immediately. After posting it I decided I didn't want to spread yet another rumor and get everyone's hopes up so I figured I would delete it and post back up if the phone in fact was available. In fact it wasn't available and the store manager that my son spoke with is obviously full of crap. I told a few people and they told a few people and here we are still with no 9650.

First a rumored release date of just before 2010, then february 3rd, then march, then may 1st, now the end of may. This is getting really ridiculous. And what about Sal and everyone saying "Verizon will definitely have this phone out before sprint." At least sprint has said something about it, Verizon has not done anything.
I doubt many people had much confidence in the may 1st release. It wasn't getting reported by any sites for may 1st. Was pretty obvious at the beginning of the week that may 1st wasn't happening.
