When it comes to devices, Research In Motion’s BlackBerry line-up is I of the most concrete when it comes to modeling numbers and names. For the most part, devices that surrender into a certain family ar matched with an appropriate name and number compounding. However, it looks like things are changing, as the BlackBerry 9650 (which should be a Tour), is getting a bit of a epithet variety, even if its numbers ar staying the same.
The fine folks over at CrackBerry wealthy person managed to grab hold of the leaked 9650 OS substance abuser guide, and sure sufficiency, the device proper is not named after the Tour it’s so numbered, but has taken on a far more Bold name. Of course, while this is a substance abuser guide for the twist proper, matched with a leaked variation of the OS that will probably be run the twist, mistakes happen. So, until we’ve got a real number check (as in, a device in our custody), we’ll go ahead and bull’s eye this as unconfirmed.
The reason this may be so troubling to some BlackBerry fanatics out there, is simply the model numbers. The BlackBerry Bold line-up usually takes on a far higher figure, like 9700. So, for all intents and purposes, this new Bold (if it is indeed a Bold) could easily take on the 9750 moniker pretty easily. The numbering of the devices, for some, is just as important as the name, considering that they’re set in billet for a particular family line under the Research In Motion streamer.
