He let me know that he has updated the files available and added support for the BlackBerry Tour.</p> <p>It has been possible for quite awhile to add Hebrew fonts to your BlackBerry by installing a multilingual OS on your device but you had to hunt around for the right one. The problem is that you had to reinstall your OS to get the Hebrew font to work which turned away many people who were interested.</p> <p>That is why Nathan created a simple download page where you can easily find the right files to install Hebrew fonts on your device. The best part is that you do not need to reinstall your OS to get Hebrew fonts since this installs like an application. Currently you can add the read only fonts OTA but if you want to be able to write with the fonts you will need to do this using the desktop install files on the same page.</p> <p>Check it out at <a href="http://www.cheservices.com/blackberry/" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/www.cheservices.com');" rel="nofollow">http://www.cheservices.com/blackberry/</a></p> <p><br/><a href="http://www.berryreview.com/2009/08/04/faq-easily-add-hebrew-fonts-to-your-blackberry-tour-ota/" rel="nofollow">FAQ: Easily Add Hebrew Fonts To Your BlackBerry Tour OTA</a></p> http://www.berryreview.com/forums/topic/bell-canada-also-getting-blackberry-9630-tour-niagara-in-july#post-3997 Wed, 07 Oct 2009 10:12:12 +0000 Ronen Halevy 3997@http://www.berryreview.com/forums/ <p>I just got word from one of our secret (Canadian) agents who confirmed that Bell will be getting the BlackBerry 9630&#160; Tour in July.

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 still issuing 8700’s and 8830’s because of the camera issue.</p> <p>You can <a href="http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/store/controller?item=phoneFirst&amp;action=viewPhoneDetail&amp;selectedPhoneId=4868" rel="nofollow">find the preorder for the BlackBerry Tour without the camera at this link!</a></p> <p>Thanks to Terry and Jim for sending this one in</p> <p><br/><a href="http://www.berryreview.com/2009/06/30/verizon-offering-blackberry-tour-without-camera-for-preorder/" rel="nofollow">Verizon Offering BlackBerry Tour Without Camera for Preorder</a></p>
