.....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.

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

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?

I'm gonna say what everyone else says...I don't care about the name, just gimme the phone.

How about the Blackberry Trek? It stays with the four letter pattern.

Hahaha... duped by big red yet again!

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.

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!

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

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?

Wasn't the codename of the Storm the Blackberry Thunder?

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

The names are rediculous. Using the Pearl and Curve for 2 completely different phones. Knowing RIM they will call it the Curve again.

That's actually a pretty good name for the phone. If they were going for a new way to spin the whole "world" thing, they could've gone with the Blackberry Atlas.. That sounds cool.. Well anyway, not bad RIM, not bad. You can name it the Blackberry 9630 TwinkiePoodle, and I'll still purchase it!

Wasn't the Storm originally the "Thunder"? It seems that post- 8000 BBs start with a multisyllabic code name and end up with single syllables for their marketed names. Curve, Pearl, Bold, Storm, Tour. So far, no 2 have the same first or last letter either! Just an observation. Quit looking at me like that.

My proposal, BlackBerry 9630 "HEMI".

Well it does make sense with the RIM/U2 stuff in the works. Tour does tie in with what the device can do. It being a World Edition and something that you could tour the world with. It's not a horrible choice but not my first.

I just want it to come out already. Hopefully, it will be early May.

not a big fan of calling it the tour... i just don't really like the name and i don't feel the name is powerful enough. bold storm curve powerful and sleek names...... tour ... ehhh not so much

Blackberry Stealth

Must admit, "Niagara" was a pretty random name, from my perspective. Of all the innovative things one could name a device... Niagara really makes no sense, what does this device have to do with water? I, at least, understand why "Tour" is a more appropriate name. I suppose I don't really care what the verdict is, I still would not buy it.

what service is it for? please let it be att. I wanted the 8900 but found out it was for tmobile and my mom told me to wait because sooner or later att is going to come out with a new curve. so me and my boyfriend have been unpatiently waiting.

The name "Tour" Sux..

Why not just call it the BlackBerry Sux!

I think they should leave it the Niagra but best of all...

I WANT A DEFINATIVE (SP) DATE OF RELEASE because if not, I'm going to buy another toy instead and just keep my 8330VZW Curve.

how about the Blackberry Bust....cause that is what its gonna be ha----bold user

nope, that name is whack.

I thought Niagara was pretty cool sounding.
Someone mentioned BB Journey, or BB WE.
I like BB World too.

But BB Tour??

I might buy the phone, but I sure as heck would
NEVER call it buy that name!!

!

Oh yeah, i think its a great name to build around. tons of ideas for catch phrases and loads of ideas for the media,swag,promotions,gadgets,add ons,etc.
catch blackberry, on Tour now...coming to a city near you soon!! be a groopie and jump on the Tour bus now!
how bout a blackberry tour bus stress squeeze toy for work that doubles as a holder/cradle for your desk?? a blackberry branded t-shirt with major release cities on back and your city highlighted where you bought your. show us a Tour of your Tour around your city...best "Tour" wins something....man I should have stuck to marketing and public relations.

wow...but Blackberry TREK???? like davfancb says....yeah, that could be a great tie in with the new release on the star trek movie coming out. that would be a great meadia........."storm".

i really like the Trek name now

i think its kewl cuz how att has a 4 letter blackberry (bold) and it just makes sense to me and it sounds good...blackberry tour!

i just wanna see them change the name oficially to crackberry lol

OH GOD NO.

RIM please keep the name Niagara

At first... it sucked... but .... its starting to grow on me lol.

The Blackberry Atlas or Surge or Laser or just Niagara

What an awful name. BlackBerry Tour? I hate it. "Niagra" was a better name for it, and I didn't like it that much either.

Niagara is WAY better! But that's not going to make me even hesitate about picking up this baby!

Oh and guys, this is not a Bold and not a Curve so neither name would be appropriate. It's basically the Storm (chassy, battery, radios, etc.) with the Curve 8900 screen and (slightly smaller) Bold keyboard.

The FORK, KNIFE, AND SPOON. and the ever cool Blackberry Spork.

Think about it, how cool would it be to tell people you have the new Blackberry SPORK?

The more often the name tour is used, the more people will like it. Just like the Niagara. I mean really, Niagara Falls? Like most of you, I couldnt care less what the name is because 1. Its a super awesome device that could be given any code name and 2. whatever the code name is, it wont be present on the device.

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

I would suggest McGuffin -- "Hey, I just got a BlackBerry McGuffin!" -- but the diminutive would bring it too close to Apple.

The Storms codename is Thunder. The _only_ device to keep its codename was the 8100 "Pearl", where "Pearl" is and was the original codename. 8110, 8120, and 8130 all have different codenames, but the 8100 is "Pearl"

BlackBerry Egga-Muffin

How about another 4 letter word, Like FREE

Yeah I agree with most people. The name "tour" kind of sucks, but I'll be buying it regardless.

How about something like the Blackberry Quest or Safari?

Tour is just not exciting enough.

I could care less about the name, just release the damn thing already...and add Wi/Fi as well (HaHa!)

I don't think Detroit will need the name anymore.

More like Blackberry Bore *yawn*

Niagra is much more powerful, invigorating sounding. Tour is more Celine Dion sounding.

Code names have often been so much better than the real deal.

I still can't wait for the 9630 but the name makes my lil pink thing go back in a bit.

WORKS FOR ME, AT LEAST IT HAS A NAME, AND BESIDES NO MATTER WHAT NAME IT ROLLS UNDER PEOPLE WILL ALWAYS CALL IT THE NIAGRA JUST LIKE PEOPLE (MYSELF INCLUDED) STILL REFER TO THE CURVE 8900 AS THE JAVELIN SO I REALLY DON'T THINK IT MATTERS,
