The BlackBerry Tour feels great in the hand. T to B: Curve 8900, Tour, Bold. RIM has nailed it with the Tour's keyboard. My new favorite.

With the BlackBerry Tour set to launch on Verizon and Sprint this Sunday and Canadian carriers next week, we're starting to see reviews of the BlackBerry Tour (especially the Verizon model) roll in across the web. In case you missed CrackBerry.com's pre-release BlackBerry Tour reviews, be sure to check out our BlackBerry Tour Review Part I and BlackBerry Tour Review Part II. Over the next couple of weeks we'll be following up with more Tour reviews as the official units hit and we get some running time with each of them on their native networks (Verizon, Sprint, Telus & Bell to start). But if you're an existing BlackBerry 8830 or Curve 8330 user thinking about upgrading, the Tour is an absolute no-brainer - it really is better in every single aspect. If you want a smartphone with a full physical keyboard that isn't touchscreen, you can't go wrong with the Tour (if it only had WiFi!!).
