One day before its launch, Verizon has finally officially announced the BlackBerry Bold 9650.  It was not a secret at all that the Bold 9650 was coming to Verizon, however, Verizon usually acknowledges that a device exists more than 24 hours before they start selling it.

As we reported previously, the Verizon BlackBerry Bold will be available online starting tomorrow, June 3rd, and in brick and mortar stores one week later, June 10th.  The device is priced at $149.99 after a $100 mail-in rebate on a 2 year contract.  This is actually a pretty good price.

The BlackBerry Bold 9650 ships with BlackBerry OS 5, however, is one of the three devices upgradable to BlackBerry 6 whenever it is released.  Let’s hope sooner rather than later…
