As for the BlackBerry Pearl 3G, the new handset is basically a 3G-equipped (HSDPA 3.6 Mbps) version of the old model plus a minor upgrade of the WiFi to draft-N.

Even the design and specs of the BB Bold 9650 isn’t that much distinguishable to the recently released Bold 9700. Most probably, this could be a cheaper version of the 9700. We’ll know once we get the official local release.

The 9650 is the Tour 2, im not sure though how exactly are they different from the Bold 9700… i think this 9650 was meant to be the CDMA version of the 9700

Bold 9650 is Tour 9630, but the trackball was replaced with a trackpad. :D Tour 2 sana itatawag ng RIM, pero mas sikat si Bold, kaya it was labelled Bold. Woooooooot! :D

I’d still go for BlackBerry Bold 9650, since you can use it locally and abroad.

hmmm tempting..just hoping that pricing for these new devices would not be as expensive with the current BB devices in the market..9700 white though is very tempting..
