The BlackBerry Bold 9650 might just be just a Tour version, but it’s definitely one hot device heading to U.S. carriers. The phone has been recently announced and we could expect it to arrive in stores in the very near future.

Verizon is expected to launch the Bold 9650 a lot faster than expected especially since the phone has been spotted in some leaked Verizon Wireless internal images.

Sprint, on the other hand, is going to launch the BlackBerry Bold 9650 on May 23 and the smartphone will cost $199.99 with a new two-year contract. We can only assume that Big Red will want to match that offer and launch its own Bold 9650 this month, just as initially rumored.

The phone will offer you a full QWERTY keyboard, 3.2-megapixel camera, EV-DO Rev. A support, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g, GPS, Bluetooth 2.1, 3.5-mm headphone jack, microUSB port, 1400mAh battery, microSD card support for up to 16GB storage and BlackBerry OS 5.0.
