According to this leaked image from CrackBerry, the BlackBerry Bold 9650 is set to launch on May 27th. Features and specifications on the device are all listed on this page, but as Adam mentions, there is nothing about the trackpad, WiFi or memory capacity of the device. Scary thought and yes it could be cut off on the bottom, but imagine if the memory wasn’t extended and WiFi was no longer there. Now all you waiting for the Bold 9650 are a bit frightened. I doubt there is anything to worry about, but we would love to see confirmation on extended memory, and please a leather battery door so it can properly be in the Bold family.

Carrier News »
It looks like the US is next in line for the white BlackBerry Bold 9700. It was too much of a tease seeing it release for all these international carriers and leaving us here in the dark. It’s definitely a good thing that RIM is releasing it now, and not making the same mistake they did with the Bold 9000. We all know that the white Bold 9000 released too close to the launch of the 9700, making folks not really pay any mind to it. As the Bold 9700 has been out since November, it doesn’t seem like the device is losing it’s taste just yet, especially with no official announcements on a newer device to compete with it (in the the BlackBerry family of of course). According to this internal screenshot, you’ll be able to pick up your white BlackBerry Bold 9700 on May 5th. What about AT&T?

As you all know by now, Tvider 2.0 made its big launch late afternoon yesterday. So what was the big deal about this update? It made it more than just a video and audio uploader for Twitter. Now it’s very much a full Twitter client you can tweet from as well. We want to know how many of you folks would consider (or have) using it primarily on your BlackBerry. If you’re browsing via computer, simply cast your vote in the poll above. If you’re on mobile, then you obviously don’t see the poll so tweet us your response on @PocketBerry.
