Telus checked in with their release date, next up--Verizon. Boy Genius posted the details that is sure to make all you Verizon customers happy. The BlackBerry Tour will indeed hit big red on July 12th and roll in at the nice price of $199.99 w/2 year agreement of course. Now, Verizon customers you excited?

This Phone is going to kick ass!
YAY I CANT WAIT!
finally!!!!
and i was right! 199.99!
I am excited, can't wait! But this showed up here first I believe ;)
It's my first BB & I can't wait!!!
get with it sprint!
yes. excited. :)
how in the world are you going toget it on Sunday?
Yea I found that rather odd as well. However, the earlier the better.
I just got off the phone with verizon and got my upgrade date moved to today because they didnt reset it after i got rid of my storm so now i can get the 50 dollars off too hell yeah lets go RIM BABY Im getting a crackberry tattoo on the 12th too feeling good!!!
cool it with the tatoos. i love bb's , but the tatoo thing is going too far.
OH HELL YES JUST AWAY $200 FROM TODAYS CHECK FOR JULY 12TH TO ROLL THROUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!
So do you take $70 off the $199 price for the mail in rebate that was reported here recently? So is it then $129?
No Wifi so no. If I was to get it, I'll choose Sprint.
like the sprint one will be any different.
They probably aren't willing to redisign the entire device for the worst carrier.
why would you need wi-fi when you get internet where ever you go.
when you don't have a 3G signal or shotty service in your home or office. BIS runs off of it too, so you can email and BBM and browse the net if you'd like at much faster speeds. I turn my network connection off and run off WiFi on occasion. I think it's a downfall that RIM doesn't put WiFi into every one of their new devices.
i am so excited to get rid of my storm and get the tour
Still no word on a camera-less model. Need one to replace my 8830WE.
WOOOOOOOT! Its about time!
At first I was a bit ticked that Verizon has announced it, but Sprint has not- but then it dawned on me that Verizon hasn't really announced it yet. In essence somebody happened to figure out how to find the test site Verizon uses, and it is showing the Tour on there. Mind you, it does not show on the main Verizon web page yet. So, it could be that Sprint will release it at the same time, but that they don't allow people to view their test site. We can hope, I suppose.
must .... wait ... two ... more ... weeks
After 7 years with VZW, I got sick of their games, lack of phone (BB) selection and locking features out. Sorry..i knew the Tour was coming this summer but still switched for the BOLD on ATT. YEAH I even paid to get out of contract with big red (but was able to sell by crappy 8330 on CL for 160...sucker). No WiFi on the Tour with VZW was the cake topper for me.....get with it Verizon!!!!!!
You had 1 of the top rated phones (per c-net, LapTop mag, PC World and Cosumer Repor), and yes it was even rated over the Bold. And sold it because "No WiFi". You left VZW (once again voted and rated as the top carrier), to go to AT&T. I'm still trying to see who the SUCKER is. The best line ever "The Carrier with More Bars!" I crack my self up every time I say that.
I laugh at all of you! Because all carriers RIP you off, regardless of who you have. It's all about which carrier provides the best service in your town or county. I've seen Verizon service FAIL in many places. Have fun paying MORE than anyone else!
It sounds like you are saying "Cheaper is Better". Working Class Hero? I have a "Yugo", I would love to sell you. It does not ride like a BMW. It does not have the MPG, as a Prius. You won't be able to fit your large family in it, like a Tahoe. But it does start, and you can place it into drive. Oh by the way! It won't go over 45! It won't go over 125 miles without having to stop for gas. Oh ya, the brakes some times don't work, but some times they do. I sell it to you CHEAP!. I had fun with this one.
So does anyone have an approximate eta on the storm 2 or the physical keyboard and touchscreen device that we have heard rumors about. Are we thinking before Christmas this year or next summer sometime. Trying to decide whether to get the tour or not.
NICE, Price and Date. I am impressed. Now I will probably wait a few days after it's release to make sure their is no HUGE problem with it then pounce so Wed the 15th of July LOOKOUT!
So why isnt it up on the verizon site..I will believe it when I see it..So far this is a crock..
I can't imaging owning the Tour for 2 years. Going to become boring and outdated in less than a year.
so don't buy it. Simple as that. An you don't have to keep the phone 2 years anymore Verizon will let you upgrade after having the phone atleast a year now cuz I was gonna buy a curve back in march an if I waited till may I would get the two year price this I found out about the Tour (back then Niagara) :-) so I will be getting this on the morning of June 12th!!!
let me guess....u have a iphone close to 2years already?
go back to your iphone forum troll
yay! i'm going to find out if i can switch over from storm to tour. I like my storm but im just a geek and i need the newest blackberry ;)
Hating my storm right now
Good by Storm, Hello Tour. Can not wait to get rid of my Storm.
I bet after july 12 your gonna see a lot of storms on ebay & CL!!!
I have a storm that i bought back in nov. unfortunately i'll have o wait till next year :(
I bought my Storm back in March... I've got eveeeeen longer.
=((
This is some of the best news I've heard in a while. Finally a confirmed date to look forward to.
I heard from a friend the official announcement from Verizon will be on Monday. Which may or may not have had to do with the rally in Rimm's stock and Sprint on Friday.
Happy my wait is almost over.
I'm totally excited. I'm finally going to be a crackberry addict :)
I ma currently a Verizon customer and I receive email updates regularly on new phones and plans. I have yet to receive an email from Verizon concerning the Tour. Just putting in my 2 cents worth.
I have been waiting for this phone since I start seeing the rumors online in May. July 12th is right around the corner. BUT i have to wait two more weeks after that cause im not eligible for an upgrade until the 28th of July. :-( But i'll get it just in time for my August vacation trips to show it off!!
Call #611 and ask them if you can possible get your upgrade date moved forward. I've done this twice so far and both times they did it with no problem.
When I got the storm they moved my upgrade ahead almsot 2 months.
does anyone have a link to preorder the 9630 ?
thanks
sprint teaser anyone
