Best Buy Unlocked BlackBerry Bold 9650 GSM Cell Phone

BlackBerry Bold 9650 is part of the 9600 device series which takes design cues from both its predecessor, the BlackBerry Tour 9630, as well as its GSM variant, the BlackBerry Bold 9700 & the BlackBerry Bold 9780. Changes from the Tour include built-in Wi-Fi, 512MB of onboard storage, and an optical trackpad instead of the trackball. It utilizes a 528 MHz processor, and has a 3.2 MP camera available as an option. The major difference between the 9700/9780 vs the 9650 is that the 9650 is the World Phone Edition that can use CDMA & GSM networks globally; the 9700/9780 only runs on GSM networks.Sprint Nextel announced that they would be the launch carrier for the Bold 9650 shortly after the device was introduced, releasing the phone on May 23, 2010. .

The RIM BlackBerry Bold 9650 follows the design cues of the Tour instead of the Bold 9700, with the only noticeable difference being the optical trackpad in lieu of a trackball.  In fact, if you put the two CDMA devices side-by-side and covered the trackball/pad area most users would have a hard time telling a difference between the two.  Sprint’s Tour had a glossy back door, whereas the Verizon variant had a much more desirable soft-touch coating around the insert.  Thankfully the BlackBerry Bold 9650 has taken its nod from the Verizon version and includes soft-touch which creates a much better feel.  Instead of the carbon fiber insert found on the Tour, the Bold 9650 features a ribbed pattern.

The BlackBerry Bold 9780 is a high-end mobile phone data device (smartphone) developed by Research In Motion. Released globally in November 2010.[6] On September 7, 2011 China Mobile and RIM announced a variant known as the Bold 9788. The Bold 9780 shares the same form factor as the 9700, and the only notable differences are an improved camera (3.2 MP vs. 5.0 MP) and double the onboard memory of the 9700 (256 MB vs. 512 MB).
