With the release of the Tour based 9650 on VZW and varying reports of poor battery life, I'm wondering if there is any possibility of a true 9700 based Bold coming to VZW?



[I've currently got an AT&T 9000 Bold and would like to upgrade to a device w/ better battery life and if possible CDMA/GSM coverage such as the 9650. I need a world phone, and would like to use the VZW network domestically, but some of the poor battery life reports on the 9650 seem like a non-starter for me.]

Thanks

Doubtful. Have you tried a Google search?

The 9700 will never be available for Verizon Wireless.

What about Torch on Verizon?

[Dubdub]

Your guess is a s good as any ones. There could be a variant but probably not a 9800, maybe Storm 3 or 5.

Most likely not since the torch is an AT&T exclusive, much like the Storm for VZW.

Or at least not anytime soon.

I think we will eventually see something similiar to Torch with Verizon. maybe 1G

Nothing wrong with the 9650.
