BlackBerry 9630 to be Branded the BlackBerry Tour?! Posted in News & Rumors on 23 Apr 2009 17:00 by Kevin Michaluk |

All BlackBerry smartphone codenames must come to an end, except of course in the case of RIM's touchscreen where the "Storm" codename stuck. But in the case of the "Niagara" I think we always knew that name would eventually die, and BGR today has proposed what the final name for the BlackBerry 9630 may just end up being... the BlackBerry Tour. World Phone... World Tour... Music Tour... Media Phone... BlackBerry Tour... BlackBerry Tour 9630... it all kinda makes sense. My initial reaction to the name wasn't overly positive, but as I'm typing this it has already grown on me. 4 letters, just like the Bold. Makes it seem fair. Of course this is still speculation, but what do you think?! Like the name BlackBerry Tour or would you rather see it launch under something else? I'm sure whatever the name is, those wheels are already in motion and it's too late to change now, but you can always drop your ideas in the comments! [ Source ] Bookmark/Search this post with:

.....i couldn't care less about the name myself, I just want the phone!! Thanks for all the info on the 9630 so far!!
I don't like it... :-( I hope it changes...
I don't care what they call it, just release it! I think they should just stay with numbers and forget the name business.
They should call it The Blackberry Jesus Juice 9630 HEHEEEEEEE
THUMBS DOWN!
I don't really call my phone a curve, usually just a 8330. I will do the same with the 9630.
I guess I just don't get it. I like the "Bold" or "Storm" names. They sound like power. Pearl makes sense as it was really about being a more consumer oriented device, and it's trackball looked like a pearl. Curve actually wasn't bad. But with "tour" I don't get anything. Other than arguing with my family over the proper pronunciation of "tour" versus "tore."
i can dig it.. tour de force
And I would still want it yesterday. ;)
"Tour." It grows on you....
I honestly don't care what it's called. I just want it.
i dunno... blackberry tour doesnt sound right to me.. maybe itll take awhile to get used to too.
No. No. No. No. No.
tour? TOUR? Seriously, RIM? That's the best you could put out? Tour? That just doesn't sound cool at all. Bold and Storm sound cool, like applejosh said, but Tour? Come on. Why not just make it another Curve, huh?
Will they lock the gps of the blackberry tour? That would make it pretty difficult to tour with.
I'm gonna say what everyone else says...I don't care about the name, just gimme the phone.
It's kinda odd. Considering before the Bold, RIM has always released their devices with 5 letters. 7100 series was Charm, then Pearl(81XX), Curve(83XX), World(88XX), etc. But I do like the name..
How about the Blackberry Trek? It stays with the four letter pattern.
It may grow on me before it rolls out, but not as quickly as Trek. However I think we can do better.
I think their market research people should hide in shame. That's the best they came up with?
Hahaha... duped by big red yet again!
what about "platnium" ???
it could be called the blackberry flaming poo and it would still be a sweet a$$ phone. niargra, tour, don't care. just bring it on.
Rotten name I don't like it
I don't care for the name "Tour". This is a world phone, correct? That name is not trendy nor catchy. "I just bought the new BlackBerry Tour", what kind of name is that?
How about something a bit more grabbing. How about the BlackBerry Xternal.
"Hey, I just bought the new BlackBerry Xternal...". Now that's HOT!!!
Alright already ! Just come on with it. What is RIM waiting on ? Here's another proposal - The BB 9630 with a SURE-TYPE keyboard like the 7000 series. I just switched from my 7000 series about 5 months ago to a World 8800. You can peck out e-mails 2x as fast on a SURE-TYPE versus a Curve, Bold or World. RIM ought to think about that platform style again.
Want sure-type, go get a pearl.
How about the Surge, Dart, or Rush? Any thing but the Tour.
thats weaksauce...they can come up with something better than that! Tour = FAIL!
tour is ok...
how about blackberry trip or journey?
since it's a world phone...
SOUNDS LIKE A LOUSY NAME TO ME.
How about no name.......just 9630
How about no name.......just 9630
I'd prefer 9630 to the Tour.

"Come And Get It"
Stupid name. Really.
Blackberry Idol
BlackBerry SURGE!
seriously you guys are arguing a name. at least it isnt iPhone..
apple is so creative with the name of their products. iBook, iPhone, iLife, iSuckAFatCock
But at least it works. For the most part, RIM has been good with names (Bold, Curve, Pearl - still think the name Storm sucks) but WTF is "Tour"? I say just stick with the model number, 9630. (If they do go with "Tour", I don't care what the reason is, that person needs to get fired)
If we are have to wait this long for the much anticipated new Blackberry why did they drop the ball on the name? Tour or Tool? Really? Can I have get paid a large amount of money to name the next one? I bet it will be a much cooler name for the product line that carrier are going to have on their shelves for the next 1 to 2 yrs at least. Thanks Blackberry
Makes it sound boring and lazy. How do they expect to get people excited about it? I mean the general public who don't even know about it yet. To folks here it probably doesn't matter, but when they start advertising it for the rest as the "Tour," people are going to yawn and fall asleep.
Like many people, just release it with a decent enough firmware yesterday!
I had a similar reaction, Tour?!!! then i realized it rolls off the tongue a easier then Niagara
How about BlackBerry 96xx "Laser". 5 characters, power, etc. etc.
I guess Rimm should just not use names, just numbers. I suppose Niagara offended someone. And that wouldn't be politically correct now would it. Maybe they could call it Bold 2 or something. Oh heck just call it a number. I think Tour sucks. Did I say that I think the name tour sucks?
I like
Blackberry Sphynctor
just a thought. Just release it already.
Wasn't the codename of the Storm the Blackberry Thunder?
I think they should call it the BB enzo (>*.*)><(*.*<)
This suits it. Blackberry genus Rubus 9630 umh but then again this would be beter for the one that will have a keyboard and touchscreen.
I see this phone being aimed towards the business crowd and the "Tour" doesn't fit that. I like the BlackBerry 9630 WE.
i like it
