We knew it was coming, but now it's official. Verizon Wireless today announced that the RIM BlackBerry Bold 9650 would be avaliable for purchasing on-line starting tomorrow June 3rd, and will have an in-store date of June 10th. Features of the BlackBerry Bold 9650 include a 2.45" 480x360 pixel resolution display, 3.2MP camera with LED flash, optical trackpad, QWERTY keyboard, push-to-talk capable, 3.5mm headset jack, Bluetooth 2.1, 512MB Flash memory, and comes comes with a 2GB microSD card pre installed (up to 16GB supported). The BlackBerry Bold 9650 is a global device that can use dual-band CDMA/EVDO Rev A, quad-band EDGE/GPRS/GSM, and UMTS/HSPA. It features a new GlobalAccess Connect for use as a data modem with a notebook PC, and has VZ Navigator with global capabilities while driving in 20 countries. Pricing of the BlackBerry Bold 9650 for Verizon is $149.99 after a $100 rebate with a 2-year contract. As you may recall, Sprint has already introduced their BlackBerry Bold 9650 a few weeks ago, but it is selling for $199.99 after rebate.
Mint Mobile is now allowing you to get whichever plan you like for either three, six, or 12 months for just $15/mo. If you go for the six-month unlimited service, for instance, you'll now have to pay just $90 upfront instead of $210.
