BlackBerry Tour Color Clarification Posted in Devices on 26 Jun 2009 08:42 by Kevin Michaluk | 
66 comments
After the initial BlackBerry Tour press releases from Verizon and Sprint a lot of people asked the question regarding the color of the devices... Would the Sprint and Verizon Tours look the same or feature different bezel colors? PockLint went hands-on with both carrier versions and from the above shot you can tell the Verizon one will indeed come with a "Titanium" bezel whereas the Sprint version will come with a "Silver" Bezel (more photos here). So which do you prefer CrackBerry Nation? I'm thinking you're a winner either way! Bookmark/Search this post with:

I use Verizon so I say Titanium.
Definitely Titanium!
Definitely Titanium...but the only thing I don't like is that it looks like verizons tour is going to be all black while sprints has the silver outline..still getting it for vzw tho
Ummm, yeah that would be the bezel, Titanium on one and silver on the other. Its not the color of the phone.
After looking at the pocklint pics i can see that verizons has the silver outline...
Both look nice but I have always prefered the darker ones.
I like the titanim bezel better. The silver looks more like the storm.
Would it be possible to switch the bezels at some point if they were available? I like the titanium but I'm using Sprint so it looks like chrome for me. But, I'll probably put a case on it and will mostly be covered up anyway.
While I'd personally prefer the darker, titanium bezel, I'm not certain that Telus will ofer it. Here's to hoping...
Wow. I am impressed. The previous pictures were not doing that phone any justice. Maybe it's time to get rid of this Storm...
I like the Verizon bezel. I think it makes it look a little more sophistimacated.
More sophistimacated indeed!
I can't wait for this thing!
I really preferred the Titanium color of my 8310 on AT&T vs. the Silver of the 8330 I currently have. I've longed for the black housing on the Curve, and while I'd still prefer black here, Titanium is a big improvement over Silver.
The titanium looks phenomenal. Hopefully it comes to Telus.
Well if I got one it would be the Verizon model, but I prefer the look of the Sprint one. Guess I could get a bezel from cnn, or Horizon.
I like the look of Verizons more.
The titanium looks BOSS!
Definitely prefer the titanium. Good thing, too, since I'm VZW...
The Titanium looks better. I think most of us are a little tired of silver edges by now ;)
Does anyone think that they will come in any other colors? I know the curve and pearl did, but so far the Bold and 8900 Curve haven't. Just a thought, I love my pink curve.
The silver looks good to me, but I will not give up my Verizon.
Not that it really makes one whit of difference considering that either way we CDMA subscribers are getting a wonderful phone, but:
I believe the Sprint Tour looks far more appealing. It's got the aesthetic of having the bezel match the "frets" between keys which, in my humble opinion, knocks the socks of the Verizon Tour. It's like matching your dress socks to your button-up shirt. Nobody is REALLY going to get all on your case about it if they're two different shades, but if they match, people will notice. (Not to mention my weakness for shiny silver things...)
I was tracking with you all the way up until you said you wear white dress socks whenever u put on a white oxford. I would laugh at you daily if you worked with me. :p
Titanium bezel FTW!
Btw I agree it would be hot if the bezel and frets matched though.
I love the Verizon color and I am with Sprint. Ebay already has colored bezels for the tour...I will be going with the black out effect with a black bezel when available or the tour will visit the colorware spa....
same, I can't wait to "murder-out" my Tour. Has anyone ever tinted a BB screen? lol
That Titanium is Bad A$$ but, I gotta go w/ Sprint.... Also, SOMEBODY HAS A SPRINT BRANDED TOUR?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? ohhhhhh July 12, please don't fail me now!!!!
Without question the titanium looks much better in my eyes and I roll with Vzn. After having a silver Pearl for what seems forever, I'm lovin' the new "tight-anium". 3 more weeks! I'm getting giddy!
VZW Titanium better. It will go well with my Oakley Titanium Bottle Rockets!!! :)
I would have to go with the Titanium bezel from VZW. And not just because I work for them but because, no matter what, titanium has always been better than silver to me. It's more METAL!
I like the titanium one but either one i'd be happy with. if you have a case that will be covered up anyways
I am glad I am with VZW. That Titanium looks GREAT!
I like the VZW one better! But I'm on Sprint. Whatever, I'll be getting one either way.
Looks so smoooth!! I can't wait to get the Verizon Tour. I will be waiting at the door before my Verizon store opens!
The Verizon one IMO looks way better
Titanium for sure, the silver bezel was the only iffy part for me. I had already planned on using a "Spray Tint" like nite shades to darken the bezel up. Now I guess I don't have to!
Thanks Verizon!
I like Verizon's better, personally.
As an impartial 3rd party, i can say that i like the VZW Tour a little better.
And with the release of the Tour, the Bold is officially outdated.
:-(
How can that be when they look almost identical? Bold is still the flagship.
I'm on Sprint, so silver. All I know is that it'll be a long awaited upgrade from my 8830.
Hate to say it, 'cause I'm on Sprint, but the VZW color is better.
Is it possible to buy the VZW one (full retail cash out) and activate on Sprint?
Titanium for sho
Personally, I like the Sprint phone. It looks like the Bold, and I like the Bold's look.
I do usually like a darker phone, but the Silver, i feel, is a nice touch.
Plus, as others have commented as well, once you put a case on it wont even matter.
I have contacted Speck to see if they have a case yet, and they said they do not at this time. I hope they come out with one, becuase I'd like to see the beauty of this phone as I use it with one of their clear plastic cases.
WCM
Titanium... silver... I want the one with WIFI. Oh wait, that's right...
I like Verizon's look more but will it have wifi?
Dang... I'm on Sprint. So, while I'm still excited about getting a Tour...
That Darker bezel looks so much sexier than the silver. I'll be sure to change that once aftermarket bezels are available :p
Would love to see a red 9630 like the red 8830. Nothing is worse than everyone having the exact same looking phone. And I'm not a fan of skin...at least not yet.
Black chrome or maybe gun metal bezel/frets might look nice too
that would be ugly as hell
Personally, I like the titanium bezel. Good thing since I am a VZW customer.
Titanium. :)
