@UBS_Sucks: I have been waiting for the Bold 9650 to come to VZW for over a year. My BB Pearl Flip 8230 totally died on me today at work and as I was on the phone w/ tech support saw that the Bold 9650 was available. I had an upgrade available and immediately got it. It will be here tomorrow and I cannot wait. I have a few friends w/ the Curve and it was just too small for my hands and another friend as the Tour 9630 and I liked the way it felt...not too big, not too small. I was holding off on ordering the Tour 9630 since it also had the trackball and was on the EOL list. Hope you enjoy your new phone!
