Looks like Verizon has made the July 12th release date for the BlackBerry Tour official. You can begin preordering now through their website below:

I would pre-order but the 12th is a Sunday and I doubt they will be shipping to arrive on a Sunday and I’m leaving town for a week that evening. Guess I have to take my chances at the local store…

Oh, and Boy Genius is reporting this pre order site confirms the “no camera” model (at same price!). Thus makes sense looking at the evidence. We had an inventory list showing a 9630TR and a 9630TRNC, and the leaked rebate sheet shows two UPC codes for the Tour, the only BlackBerry to list two. This is awesome news for the Verizon 8703, 7130, 8830, and other older “no camera” BlackBerry users who thought their carrier and RIM might be disregarding the obvious market demand.
So Verizon (and Sprint?) will be the only major USA carriers with a “no camera” model. Will that dig into ATT or TMO market share???
