    The Bold took BlackBerry devices to a new design level, and CDMA users have been wanton for their own version since it was first announced.  RIM did one better and gave them the .  A beautiful blend of the Bold and Storm, the Tour packs some goodies under the hood too such as worldwide connectivity thanks to the quad-band GSM radio.  Other amenities include a gorgeous HVGA (480x360) display, 3.2 megapixel camera with autofocus, microSDHC expansion and EVDO Rev.

    You’re craving a smartphone. But maybe you, I don’t know, want to send multimedia messages, not just 160-character texts. Or tether it to your notebook for wireless internet access. Or use it for more than a few hours before the battery goes dead. Read more

    • Superb multimedia playback on music, video and pics. Extremely bright and colorful screen was still easy to see in direct sunlight. RIM makes it dead simple to hook up...
    • Call quality is sub-par. Some screen lag when we started using the phone, but it eventually stopped. Teeny tiny browser fonts gave us migraines.

    I was standing in the queue at the bank a few days ago when the Blackberry Tour beeped to signify that I had mail. I whipped it out and with one hand (the left), I whizzed through different menus, checking mails, and surfing webpages while on that line. All with one hand. It felt good to be able to do that again after a long time. Read more

    This is truly a excellent phone and great for people who text or write a lot of emails on the go. I would not recommend this phone to anyone looking to play games (like an iPhone) or expect a lot from its web browser. My friend has the same exact phone and has dropped it 5+ times on cement and the device is still working!! Anyway, this is a great phone and like most cell providers you have 30 days to return the device if your not satisfied. Read more

    • durable, long battery life, replaceable battery, qwerty keyboard, blackberry messenger
    • track ball can get stuck, limited web browsing, low profile keys

    If your looking for a great messaging/Email device and have no desire to use apps or surf the web then this is the device for you. Otherwise get an Android or iPhone. Read more

    • Without a doubt THE BEST messaging/Email device. (when the Bberry service is working)
    • EXTREMELY slow booting phone, Very limited top-quality app selection, Small screen, OS tends to freeze a lot, Horrible internet browser compared to other devices.
