RIM Unveils Blackberry Tour 9630 Research in Motion has finally unveiled its 3G-ready world BlackBerry Tour 9630 smartphone. Its CDMA version was announced in U.S. on Sprint and Verizon Wireless. This is the same BlackBerry Niagara 9630 smartphone, images of which were leaked back in March. And as noted, Tour is the combination of the best of BlackBerry Curve 8900 and Bold 9000. BlackBerry Tour's 3G support comes for both GSM and CDMA networks. One of the major highlights of the phone is its clear 480x320 pixel resolution screen.
Tour features a 3.2 megapixel camera with video recording, music-video player, 3.5mm audio jack, 256MB built-in memory (expandable up to 16GB) and replaceable lithium-ion 1400mAh battery promising talk time of 5 hours. Duh, in times of Lithium-polymer, it's surprising to see new models carrying lithium-ion batteries.
BlackBerry Media Sync and Pandora or Slacker Radio apps from the Blackberry App World can be downloaded to use with any headphones via 3.5mm audio port. Tour also packs in a GPS chip and offers BlackBerry Maps with image geo-tagging feature. Along with that, Tour offers support for other standard BlackBerry features like Corporate Data Access and Wireless Email.

BlackBerry Tour announced by Sprint, too: $199.99 later this summer New BlackBerry models are few and far between -- particularly of the CDMA variety -- so when one is announced, the usual carrier suspects typically fall in line within a few weeks of each other and announce their branded versions in rapid succession. This one was particularly tight, though: Sprint has announced its plans for carrying the Tour 9630 just minutes after Verizon. It'll launch "later this summer" for $199.99 after $150 worth of rebates and a two-year contract, which makes the Pre comparison virtually inevitable. Keep the comments civil, though, alright?

Do you like to send messages/emails/dial anywhere other than stationary while looking at the phone?
yes - get this
no - get the storm (I believe Josh tried it out...he can tell you his thoughts...)
