Blackberry Bold 9650 Hardware Review (includes comparison of the Bold 9650 vs Tour 9630)
If you noticed and compare the Blackberry Bold 9650 vs Tour 9630 image side-by-side; you’ll soon noticed that both of phones share a lot of similarities in terms of design.The size is almost identical and the weight between Bold 9650 vs Tour 9630 only differ in a few ounces. For untrained eyes, you might mistaken the Bold 9650 as the Tour 9630.
In terms of hardware comparison between the Bold 9650 vs Tour 9630, there have been several things added n replaced. And one of the most exciting one is the addition of Wi-Fi feature. Something missing in the Tour 9630. These days, I personally think that Wi-Fi features is essential for a smartphone. Thank god they include Wi-Fi in Bold 9650. The performance is also quite impressive…
For instance we will find a more stylish trackpad in Bold 9650, replacing the Tour 9630’s troubled trackball. The Bold 9650’s trackpad is not only stylish, but also easy to use. Bottom line is the trackball might be the best trackball that RIM has ever created to date. Another notable change found in the Bold 9650 is the flash memory… 512MB of flash memory is just what I expected, although I do admit that I wished they increase the Bold 9650 flash memory to 1GB…. But hey, 512 is the best flash memory size for Blackberry phone until now… Let’s be grateful for that 
Blackberry Bold 9650 Software Review
There’s a bit of disappointment seeing the new Bold 9650 doesn’t come with the OS 6.0. But the OS 5.0 is good already. The Blackberry Bold 9650 has 309MB of free memory out of the box, so you can load your favorite apps. Moreover, the BlackBerry Messenger version 5.0.0 and some Standard games are also included in the Bold 9650. Judging from the performance, the Blackberry Bold 9650 is pretty responsive, thanks to the expanded memory. The signal strength is also pretty impressive. The battery is quite good and it should be able to go through one full day of optimum use.
Blackberry Bold 9650 Review Conclusion
If you are a CDMA users and also a Blackberry fan, you might want to consider to buy this phone. By far, the Blackberry Bold 9650 offers you the biggest flash memory compared to other Blackberry series, including the Blackberry Tour 9630. The addition of Wi-Fi feature is really nice…
Anyway, you should be wise in terms of upgrading your Blackberry. Although the Bold 9650 offers many new and interesting features, but do you really need it? do they really matters? One example is when you have the glorious Tour 9630; you should think whether the new features etc on the Bold 9650 is what you really need. However, CDMA users who are still using the Blackberry Pearl 8830, 8330 or 8130 should upgrade their Blackberry to this one.
