    There is no doubt that the Tour is the finest hardware ever to come out of Canada.  It is simply gorgeous, with an amazing display and the finest keyboard on the market.  The global radios means it has no boundaries, and the camera-less version will ensure that.  It is fast and stable, with a very polished UI.  There remains that problem with call quality, however.  Furthermore, we can’t help but feel a bit bored by it.  Yeah, the hardware is great, but does it...

    Tiny Improvements Add Up in BlackBerry Tour 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. You know what phone you don't want . Instead, consider the new Blackberry Tour from Verizon. Its e-mail and social-networking features are ideal for constant communicators, though its... Read more

  1. Very Impressive, Stylish & Packed With Features

    I have been a WinMo user for about four years now. Having used it so long I kind of got used to expecting my device to run real slow & eventually crap out on me at least once a day. My best friends all have been using BlackBerry devices for a long while now. So, I decided to jump on the bandwagon! I tell you what... its been a great ride so far. This device is so much faster that my HTC Touch Pro that eventually pissed me off to the point of no end! When I received it on... Read more

    Ok first, this is to people who gave this amazing device bad reviews. The first batch of Tours had several devices with problems, such as loose battery door, and faulty trackball. This has been fixed on devices with a manufacture date of August or later. Mine was manufacutred July 17th, and Ive had NO problems though, some of the original release Tour's are fine as well. Now on to my short review. I LOVE this blackberry. It is my first, and I will never buy a... Read more
