Gotta say that's one sexy phone.Out of all to me its the sexiest one .Can't wait to play with it...
I really wish I had a Tour. To bad my upgrade isn't until April 2010. :( I already asked Sprint once if they would let me do it early, but I got a no. :( April is just so far away, I really wanted this phone. Hopefully there will be a newer one out by than...
Call up Sprint and ask for their retention department. Tell them that it would be cheaper for you to switch carriers and get the phone at the premium price than it would be for you to buy it out from Sprint:
Sprint Tour will probably be around $499.99 (minimum.. my expectation would be that it will be $549 or $599 at launch) vs. $175 to cancel your account + $199 for the VZW Tour.
Then you ask the rep, "if you could pay $500 or $375 for the exact same phone, which would you do?" If that doesn't work by itself, multiply your monthly bill by 12 and tell them how much money they stand to lose in the next year if you switch carriers.
You'll get your upgrade if they value your business.
The CS rep could also multiply the bill by 12 and show how you will save money by staying with sprint and buying the tour at full retail. In the long run, while you will save money on the initial device purchase with VZW, you will end up paying more over the length of your contract.
Still, that strategy may still work.
Like that strategy but instead of saying $375 (cause thats alot to pay if Sprint offered the phone to you for that price) say you can get the Tour at BestBuy on Verizon for $100+$175 cancellation (aren't they pro-rated so it could be less) which comes to less than $275 (if prorated cancellation). Now your talking yourself into a deal that is worthwhile if you really want the Tour
Hey, I got mine for FREE! I told them I was unhappy with my windows phones and to keep me they needed to get me in the BB Tour. They credited my account the $299 (since I was eligible for the $150) and even credited me the $100 mail in rebate. So I paid nothing! :)
Yeah mine will be delivered today! Can't wait for the fun to begin.......even though this is a productivity tool my productivity will be at a all time low this afternoon.
by the time i can upgrade the Grande will be out.
where can I get that "10 years" storm backplate????
I don't really see the appeal of this phone. It isn't that different than the Bold except for the fact that it lacks WiFi and works on Verizon.
The fact that it's on Verizon is exciting man, there isn't a phone like that in the Verizon line up.
A phone is only as good as the network its on and Verizon Wireless is the best.
That's completely wrong. AT&T has and always will be the absolute best wireless network in the US.
i hope u didnt type that with a straight face
If you keep telling yourself that AT&T is the best! Then you might start believing it. "The Net Work with more bars!" Oh, I crack myself up, every time I say that.
Hahhahaa, that definitely made my morning.
Now I'm just waiting for Fedex to make my day by bringing me my Blackberry Tour!
Yea I hear you! It's 'in transit' from Newark NJ right now for me (I live in Raleigh) so, it's coming tomorrow. Can, Not, Wait! Basically, tomorrow (thank God I teach so I'm off anyway) I will be immersed in Tourland.
I'm here close to Newark and yet my phone started in Louisville KY... thats so very backwards... like they want you to just wait by the mailbox.. ugh
...you're serious! Ha!! Verizon's network smokes AT&T's like there is no tomorrow. I've been on both, my wife has been on both, and I've got friends that have been on both and we all agree that Verizon is sooooo much better. AT&T drops calls like no tomorrow and has dead zones all over the place. Verizon is the best network in the US. No doubt about it!
Recent independent tests (the most recent I can recall reported by PCWorld), show Verizon and Sprint with the best networks. Verizon leading in coverage and speed and Sprint leading in reliability. Where do you get your information?
I agree the lack of WiFi is disappointing. There are already rumors there will be a "Tour 2" released in a few months that does include WiFi on Sprint. Hopefully a WiFi verizon comes to Verizon too.
It's not really a rumor. Fierce wireless quoted a Jeff Clemow, Sprint's director of business product marketing as saying there will be a WiFi enabled tour after the first of next year. No release date as of yet, but I would say it's far from rumor.
If you're on VZW or Sprint, this is an upgrade, if you're on ATT, this is a downgrade.
Here is another voice from the "PEANUT GALLERY"! The Net Work with more bars! I have to stop that. I laugh toooo hard it hurts!
as a bbCrack addict, awesome site, keep up the great work..., The Tour is poised to be a great tool, as a BES Exchange user and crankin out 50+ emails a day, Tour with 8900 keyboard pleaseee for me, now that would be somethin'
Really wish I can get this, but I'm not due for an upgrade from Sprint until October, and my Curve is bugging out right now. I can barely use it.
Looks good! I thought I read somewhere that it had a trackpad though? My mistake.
Thanks Crackberry for the heads-up on the new BB Tour. At first I thought...here is another Blackberry Sprint will not be carrying. I was wrong. I ordered the new BB Tour yesterday (and today is already on back-order).
This work for an In-direct Agent for Verizon Wireless my plan is the sh*t but I dont get new customer pricing on new phones uuhhh I dont have to pay retail but 450 is a crap load of money so if anyone knows where I can find one cheaper send them my way. I do have a curve that doesn't have a scratch on it to trade and some cash and what not hit me up.
i see more of that storm 2... when can we get a better look?
Yea its there and if you leave your cursor over the image it is captioned the Storm 2(9550)
Come on Telus, release it already
Looks like Kevin swapped out the Verizon battery cover for the one he got on his pre release device. It's shiny black instead of the soft touch or he got his Verizon badged device before they made the switch.
Hopefully we'll see some after market battery door covers soon. It's the only thing I can find wrong with mine and even though it's not that bad, it would be nice to not have the battery door shift while using the phone.
Release it already!
Telus has theirs released - I guess they havent done their comparison shots yet.
For anyone out there that is thinking about getting one...do it! I got my Tour on Sunday & it is great! I had an 8330. Everything is so much faster & there are so many improvements over the 8330 & I'm not gonna list em all. Just go get one!
Why two storms in one picture? Is this a dummy storm 2? hmmmm...
How do you still not have any Sprint Tour photos?
probably because Sprint has been holding on so tight... we customers even had to call and go online. they are not in store. i didnt get that concept, but Sprint went with it so...
Actually those SPRINT pictures look EXACTLY like my Sprint Tour... NOTHING BUT THIN AIR!!! Ship the Damn thing already!
UUGGHH!
leaked
How come the Verizon Blackberry Tour has a smooth shiny battery cover around the "carbon" insert? Mine is a black rubbery material. Anyone else have a shiny one?
Ok, I just read a couple comments up.. nevermind!
I like that the headphone jack is on the same side as the volume buttons.
Im looking at these pics, and then looking over to my baby (bb toure) and it looks a lot sexier up close..THe pics don't do the phone justice...Love my TOur
I DONT GET IT..
SO DO YOU GUYS JUST GO AND BUY ONE OF EACH FROM EACH CARRIER?
I highly doubt they pay one single penny for any of these devices. Maybe a shipping cost, but I highly doubt even that.
What wall paper is that of the freeway in that picture? Anybody know what that is or where to find it?
That pic is in the preloaded pix on the Vzw Tour.
i just went too verizon store to see the tour what a crap
is the same curve better camara diferent look, i own the storm and i tell you what i check the browse, camara speed
my smoooooooooke big time the tour not ofense but they should change the name from tour to toy what a plastic crap
I am not the happiest with my Storm, I actually wanted to switch to the Tour. I went in for some hands on time and there is no way I would ever switch. The Tour felt like a toy. It was not really faster than my Storm. There was more app memory at the time but there is also no apps on it. It only come with a 2 gig card. I felt like I would be losing a lot if I would switch.. BB is going to have to do better than that if I am going to be switching phones.
