New BlackBerrys Leak Online Ahead of Launch


Rumors about two new Blackberry devices, the Bold 9650 and Pearl 3G, leaked online early Monday just hours before the new devices were believed to debut. Blackberry maker Research in Motion was expected to unveil the new handsets during the company's keynote address at the Wireless Enterprise Symposium in Orlando, Florida. It appears, however, the financial Website The Street has beat RIM to the punch with a limited report on new specs for the two new devices.

Despite the leak, the new handsets come as no surprise, since both the Blackberry 9650 and Pearl 3G have been making the rounds on gadget rumor blogs for several months. Then, on Sunday, Al Sacco from CIO.com (a sister publication of PCWorld) released a photo via Twitpcic of a Sprint advertisement from the WES 2010 promo notebook that included the Bold 9650.
