Verizon BlackBerry Bold 9650 Review

Coming off my 8330 I was more than excited to pick up a Tour 9630 the day it was released. I was one of a dozen or so people in line at my local Verizon store, and was in and out in a few minutes.

A look at the new BlackBerry Bold 9650, including its design, features, user interface and more. While the Bold 9650 bears a large resemblance to the old BlackBerry Tour, it includes a host of new features that make it stand out.
