This phone is the shit. I guess the main reason why this BlackBerry is coming out as the 'Tour' is because it's a world edition device (will be both GSM/CDMA). And that's not the only thing this baby will be packing. Apart from having a gobi-chip installed, it will also include GPS, WiFi, and possibly a 5MP camera [you say wut??]. The last feature is just a wish the BlackBerry world is wishing... actually I think WiFi is also out of the picture. The main thing that makes this BlackBerry THE BlackBerry is it's form factor. The size of this thing is said to be 'Perfect'. It's smaller than the Bold, but bigger than the Curve. It has the Bold's gorgeous screen and the Curve's excellent keyboard. This beauty will also be running OS 5.0 when released which is including many of the gestures the Storm currently holds. Metal.
If any of you don't really know how RIM assigns model #s to their phones, then here it is.. Any model # ending with '30' usually means that the device is headed to a CDMA carrier. Let's count the # of CDMA carrier we have in the U.S...
1 - Sprint
2 - Alltel
3 - Verizon Wireless
Now where do you think this phone will be headed to. Sprint?- If so, then that would be great for the company since as far as everyone knows, Sprint is going downhill- the only hope this company carries is the Palm Pre [super badass phone from the future which I think will never come since there's no release date. WTF]. I doubt The Tour will arrive at Sprint since it seems to be that the Pre is the only thing in their minds right now.
Alltel- Seeing how Verizon's recently announced of the aquisition of Alltel, I don't think it would be wise to release it to Alltel.. but maybe, who knows?
Verizon Wireless- That's right. All rumors, news feeds, major leaks show that the BlackBerry 'Tour' 9630 is coming soon.. to VZW.. when?? let's try June-July.. yeah, that close.
