BlackBerry Bold 9650 Running BlackBerry 6!

RIM now owns BlackPad.com + BlackBerry Torch related domains…
RIM is know to scoop up domain names to protect their brand. Luckily RIM has been very good to most of the BlackBerry community when it comes to domain names. However it seems that RIM has just taken over two domains which could provide insight to some of their future projects. The first one is BlackPad.com, which if you remember BlackPad was the code name for the rumored BlackBerry Tablet. While we don’t think this would be RIM’s first choice for a product name, they still want to own the domain name. Recently RIM also acquired BlackBerryTorch.com and BlackBerry9800.com, which would lead you to think that RIM’s slider device will be at least modeled the 9800, and possibly even called BlackBerry Torch. RIM has even acquired BlackBerry9780.com, which would of course be for the new upgraded Bold 9700 model.
So what do you think of RIM nabbing up all these domains? Is it a sign of products to come? or is RIM just holding down their property?

BlackBerry Bold 9780 Prototype Running BlackBerry 6 Photo’d
Oh dear whats this? Another un-released BlackBerry has been leaked on to the internet. This time it seems to be the slight upgrade to the Bold 9700, which will feature a slightly darker bezel around the body and 512MB of flash RAM. Other than that the Bold 9780 (as its being modeled currently) will be running BlackBerry 6 (OS 6.0), and will NOT have a touchscreen. So it seems that the rumors of the current Bold 9700 not be able to run BlackBerry 6 in full could be be true. How do you feel about this?
