Have you been thinking about getting the upcoming BlackBerry Bold 9780? If you are on Vodafone UK, we've got an early look for you at what the pricing should be for the 'refresh' Bold. There should even be a choice in color.









The BlackBerry Bold 9780 will be £35 on 24 months plan with Bold 9780 for free. This is £5 less than the Torch 9800. Without a contract we're told the Bold 9780 should be £400, compared to £500 for the Torch.



We are told that the Bold 9780 will be available in white and black colors at launch. It will be interesting to see if that red 9780 makes its way too.



In case you've forgotten, the Bold 9780 is a refresh of the 9700. The 9780 will have 512MB RAM, 5MP camera, and run OS 6. The form factor will be exactly the same as the 9700.

Are you in the UK and interested in picking up the BlackBerry Torch 9800? We have received the price sheet above, which outlines each data plan you can get and then receive the Torch for free as is usual on Vodafone.

We know that the Bold 9700 "refresh" otherwise known as the BlackBerry Bold 9780 or R020 is headed to AT&T and T-Mobile. However, here is evidence that the 9780 will also be landing on Vodafone UK from a snapshot of their sales screen.




There currently is no indication on a release date or price. We have heard it may possibly release some time in September or mid-October. Our guess on price is it should be around the same as the soon-to-release Torch 9800, which should hit Vodafone in mid-September.



In case you missed it, the Bold 9780 will be an upgraded Bold 9700. The 9780 will sport BlackBerry OS 6, 5MP camera, 512MB RAM, with possible bezel variations. The 9780 will keep the same shell as the 9700.



How many Vodafone users will be upgrading to the 9780?

Oh, look another surprise. Ok, maybe not since we told you that Vodafone UK was going to get the BlackBerry Torch 9800! Vodafone is definitely no longer just testing the Torch 9800 as it now appears on their website.




While there aren't many details on the Vodafone UK version of the Torch 9800, it does say it will be on pay monthly. It will be interesting to see when Vodafone UK officially announces this device.



What is very interesting to think about is how Vodafone owns Verizon Wireless. Could we eventually see the Torch 9800 on the Verizon network? What do you think?

We've heard before that the Blackberry 9800 Slider is a GSM/CDMA device, but will initially be releasing on GSM carriers first. We've now gotten word from our Vodafone connect that Vodafone UK is to be carrying the 9800 Slider.





While you can take this with a grain of salt, until we can get any inventory or approved software screenshots, our connect has heard the 9800 should be launching in September. Although, our connect believes more realistically it could be October.



This makes for an interesting rumor since Vodafone owns Verizon Wireless in the U.S. Could this mean we might also see the 9800 Slider on the Verizon network? Usually, each carrier shares the same device line-ups.



The only other CDMA carrier rumored to be getting the 9800 is Sprint.



Time will tell, but if the BlackBerry 9800 Slider were to come to Vodafone UK or Verizon, would you drop your Bold 9650 or Storm2 for the 9800?

It seems the Curve 9300 is really starting to hit the lime-light regularly here. Our Vodafone UK connect just sent us this image of their approved software list, which shows that the BlackBerry Curve 9300 has been approved. This most certainly confirms the 9300 will be hitting the UK.



From what you can see from the list, the Curve 9300 has been approved with OS 5.0.0.832. It is hard to tell when Vodafone UK will release the 9300, but our connect has suggested we may see it in Q3. Hopefully, the 9300 will not be postponed as long as the Pearl 9105 was.
