I have a Bold 9000, had I known the space available to apps I would have never done it, apparently, this one has 512mb of space for the os and apps, the 9000 had 128mb.

I am not sure if I will upgrade to this or drop blackberry all together.

My netbook with a magic jack was cheaper than what this lists for with NO contract.

The Bold 9650 is almost a replica of the Tour 9630. The Tour has a trackball, and has 5.0 software instead of 6.0 for now (factory settings includes 4.7 software). 6.0 software changes are mostly within the media section, the rest of the display is identical. The Bold 9650 has 512 MB of internal memory, and the Tour 9630 has 256 MB of internal memory. The Bold 9650 features Wifi capability and the Tour 9630 does not. The send button just got flipped right side up, the escape key arrow is slightly different. Why would you be so anxious to get a handheld that was released for Verizon in August of '09?

Maybe for all the reasons you already listed? I have a blackberry, as my company supplies it, but it's a curve so I'm not really up to date on the newest and greatest though. Still like it and it does everything I need it to. I hate touch screen keyboards so blackberry's really appeal to me anyway.

Application support??! When there will be decent application base for BB devices? So much money for only one feature - secure email. Android store already has better selection than BB store. And for how long RIM has been around?
