Better late than never. Sprint just released the BlackBerry Tour sans camera for those who have a need for such a model. I know that some courthouses have loosened restrictions on cameras but many government and other facilities still frown heavily or completely ban camera phones.
That’s why it is nice to see that RIM [...]
Brandy from Artistic-Me, sent in her latest theme series called, LineUp. Available for the 8900, 9000 & 9630, LineUp comes in 2 different styles; Bottom Zen & Plus. I did not get a version of this theme to test, so I can’t give a specific review but as a rule, Brandy’s themes run very well [...]
Guys and gals, I gotta tell ya. I’ve been testing this theme out for a while now on my Bold (along with other beta testers) and Linear is, by far, one of the smoothest running and gorgeous looking themes I have ever used. Designed by the Ninja himself (Ninja Themes), Linear is available for [...]
I know that Tour users have been dying for an upgrade since the device was released. I just got word from quite a few tipsters that OS 4.7.1.42 has been found in the wild for the Tour. Here is to hoping it fixed the issues found in the release OS.

Larry’s back…taking his continually popular Fusion theme series and creating a version called Onyx. I have to be honest, besides the obvious like a different wallpaper, I’m not sure what the differences are but below is some info from the description. I will say that the version I tested on my Bold, worked extremely well….as [...]
Hedone Design is back with their latest theme release called Digital. A mixture of colorful, swirly images and sleek bottom icons, Digital costs $6.99 and is available for a variety of BlackBerry devices. I am playing with the Bold version as I write this and this theme offers all the charm and swiftness that Hedone [...]
Tony from Cocky Culture is a pretty cool guy as he likes to do theme giveaways often. This latest theme is called *Prime* and is probably one of his more tamer theme styles. On the home screen you have a side hidden dock of various application names and a right side dock of 4 customizable [...]
There has been quite a few rumors going around this morning about official OS updates in the pipeline but the most interesting were Al Sacco reporting that AT&T is prepping OS 4.6.0.508 for the Bold and the BoyGenius reporting that Verizon may soon release OS 4.7.1.42 for the Tour. The Tour upgrade makes sense [...]
Though he took a little break from theme designing, Greg over at MBCustomz seems to be back in full swing with his latest release Windows Mobile 7. A mixture of rich blue graphics and colorful icons, Windows Mobile’s home screen has a hidden dock (amount of icons varies between device) and an all around fresh [...]
Now that there is BlackBerry 9630 Tour theme support with the updated Plazmic, theme developers have been quickly porting their themes over to the new device. I happened to get three emails in all at once, so I decided to mention them all in one post. First, is Hedone Design, who’s classic themes such as [...]
I love reading eBooks on my BlackBerry but that is only really good for casual reading. When it comes to manuals and technical guides I find eBooks frustrating due to how hard it is to navigate compared to flipping a book. We have mentioned the BlackBerry Made Simple guides a few times in digital [...]
Larry from Ahead of the Curve Designs just informed me that he has now imported several of his & amusic’s most popular themes over to the BlackBerry Tour. So, BlackBerry Tour theme junkies finally start getting some love.
Remember, Larry is known for classics such as the Fusion theme series (shown right) and amusic is known [...]
It was inevitable but Bla1ze spotted the new service on Colorware’s website. They are now offering custom paint jobs for your BlackBerry Tour starting at a pricey $129. I always felt that you needed to get one of these paint jobs when you just get the device to make them worthwhile. Colorware has complied [...]
N8D let me know in the comments that he followed up on his BlackBerry 8520 disassembly video with another useful video. In his latest he compares the form factors of the BlackBerry 8520 vs 8900 vs 9000 vs 9530 vs 9630 vs 8330. Its a pretty good overview if you just want to see how [...]
DavidB let me know that Time Magazine has released version v3.0.0.94 of their free BlackBerry app. This is an update to the version that they released late last month. For some reason the version released back then did not play nice with the BlackBerry Tour and caused lockups but David is reporting that it has [...]
Profiler has been around for awhile now and is a very useful application from ToySoft. It automates profile switching on your BlackBerry and can be set for certain times of the day and can integrate with your calendar based on keywords.
The new version 2.0 for the Storm & Tour now also switches profiles when [...]
Made Simple Learning is known for their comprehensive eBooks and videos teaching new users how to make the most of their BlackBerrys. I know that the BlackBerry Tour attracted quite a few new BlackBerry addicts so its worth mentioning the release of the new eBook BlackBerry Tour Made Simple by Made Simple Learning. I have [...]
The guys at GSMPhone-Unlocking.com did a great little video showing how to disassemble and reassemble the BlackBerry Tour. Nothing especially fancy here but if you have a Tour this video will definitely come in handy. I have had to disassemble my Bold twice already to replace and clean the trackball.
Thanks to everybody who sent [...]
It looks like certain analysts are claiming that Verizon sold between 275,000 to 300,000 BlackBerry Tours in the first day of sales which was this past Sunday. That is pretty impressive but those are not official figures. It looks like the Tour is doing pretty well despite the fact that it did not have [...]
Verizon & Bell have let loose with OS 4.7.1.40 for the BlackBerry Tour. Its a shame they did not have it at launch but I guess late is better than never.
