Jerry let me know that Amazon has already lowered the price on the Verizon BlackBerry Tour to $99. It looks like that price is only good for new individual contracts. The price goes up to the regular $199.97 if you are upgrading or adding to a family plan.
Check out the deal at this link
Let [...]
Adam must be one of the only people who checks out the CD that comes with the BlackBerry. He spotted the fact that RIM shipped out Desktop Manager 5.0.0.8 with the Verizon BlackBerry Tour.
I know we have seen Desktop Manager 5.0.0.8 leaked before but its weird that it is available on CD before it [...]
TELUS has opened up the gates on their website for ordering the BlackBerry Tour. Nothing really different here but now Canadians have two options for getting their Tour on.

So the BlackBerry Tour dropped yesterday and many of you picked it up. This is the device many of you were waiting for since Verizon released the dated 8330.
So what do you think about it?
N8D let me know about this speaker test done by TheBlackBerryGuy comparing the speakers on the Tour to the Bold, Storm, & 8900 Curve. It sounds really close and the creator has no stated opinion but I think the Tour and Bold get the top rating for speakers. I think the Bold has the best [...]
I know Verizon, Sprint, & even Bell are starting to carry the BlackBerry Tour in stores tomorrow. Any of you planning on camping out in front of your store to pick one up? I am curious how much of a rush there will be…
Let us know where you pick yours up and if they [...]
We told you last week that Bell is really trying to get the BlackBerry Tour out the door before TELUS. I just got confirmation from one store that they will have them on sale tomorrow.
Kyle scored the press release for the Tour at this link and Kevin spotted the fact that the device is [...]
I know many of you are clamoring to get your own hands on a Tour and the 12th can only come soon enough. Engadget and the BoyGenius were kind enough to offer us a early look at the Verizon Tour with their recently released reviews.
So far everything is coming back pretty positive so I [...]
Looks like both Engadget and BoyGenius got a hold of a Verizon branded BlackBerry Tour to unbox. Nothing new here but I know you can just imagine you are unboxing it yourself…
I just don’t get why RIM won’t release devices with holster clip cases instead of the tacky leather flip cases…
Check out the [...]
Thanks to some great tipsters across the web it looks like both Bell Mobility and Alltel will shortly be getting the BlackBerry Tour. After we learned that both Sprint & Verizon are getting it this month it was no long leap of logic to assume Bell will get it and the divested Alltel markets.
So [...]
I just spoke to a Verizon spokesperson and got positive confirmation that existing customers will be able to upgrade to the BlackBerry Tour. They told me that there was a “minor glitch” in the system and they are working to let existing customers upgrade on the pre-order site by tomorrow (July 2nd).
They also confirmed [...]
I got official word from Sprint that the BlackBerry Tour will be released by them on July 12th. It will be available on www.sprint.com, 1-800-Sprint1, and via their business sales team so everybody should be covered. Looks like the rumored July 20th date was wrong…
The BlackBerry Tour will sell for $199.99 with a new [...]
Looks like Verizon has put out the number for no contract (month to month) purchases of the BlackBerry Tour. It will be going for $489.99 with no contract.
The surprising number is that the phone is going for $269.99 with a 1 year contract compared to the $199.99 for a 2 year contract. Weird that [...]
Wow this has been a long time coming. RIM has not released a camera-less BlackBerry since the 8830 (unless you count the 8350 camera-less version). Many people are not allowed to have ANY cameras at work so this is a real boon for government employees/consultants, lawyers, and more. I know many companies that are [...]
Looks like Verizon has made the July 12th release date for the BlackBerry Tour official. You can begin preordering now through their website below:

Thanks to everybody who sent this in!I can only imagine that that there will be quite a rush for these babies!
Looks like the BlackBerry Tour is well on its way to being released next month. If you are really into reading SAR and hearing aid compliance documentation you can check out Masud Attayi’s, RIM’s regulatory compliance team lead, wonderful documentation to the FCC at the link below:

I went through the documentation myself and did [...]
The rumor mill is whipping up a storm trying to nail down what the “summer 2009” release date of the Tour will be. The latest two dates to drop are the 12th of July for Verizon and the 20th of July for Sprint. The BoyGenius also scored a pic showing the release price being [...]
Last night I had the chance to play with a Verizon and a Sprint BlackBerry Tour again at a press event. Sadly I had a senior moment and forgot my camera at home.
The Tour has already been reviewed a few times already but I know many of you are chomping on the [...]
Matt sent me some promotional material from TELUS that seems to have gotten on the web and slipped in a little gem. He sent me an extra page that does not seem to have made it around that shows the BlackBerry Tour having a dual core Qualcomm MSM7600 processor (App – 528MHz, Modem – 256MHz). [...]
Matt sent me over some material from a TELUS presentation detailing the BlackBerry Tour’s launch date and pricing. Right now the launch date is July 15th. I guess this confirms that TELUS is getting it along with Verizon and Sprint. I wonder who will get out the door first especially with the US carriers giving [...]
