BlackBerry Tour

The RIM BlackBerry Tour 9630, a long-rumored 3G-enabled, QWERTY, dual-mode world phone with a 2.44-in. display, slim profile and GPS. It will be available from both Sprint and Verizon Wireless later this summer in the U.S., along with Bell Mobility and Telus in Canada. he smartphone also offers Bluetooth 2.0 (stereo Bluetooth, tethering) and GPS. There is, however, no Wi-Fi on the Tour.
The company seems to be attempting to win market share among executives and mainstream consumers despite the global economic downturn, and the new model falls somewhere between the consumer-friendly BlackBerry Curve and the corporate executive-driven BlackBerry Bold, offering business-friendly global capabilities and consumer-friendly multimedia features.
Originally referred to on the Web as the BlackBerry Niagara, the black-with-chrome trim BlackBerry Tour 9630 serves as an update to Sprint and Verizon’s BlackBerry 8830 World Edition models, running on EV-DO Rev. A 3G networks domestically and 3G UMTS/HSPA (2100Mhz) and quad-band (GSM 850/900/1800/1900; GPRS/EDGE) support for voice and data overseas. The Tour features standard BlackBerry services, including support for personal and corporate e-mail, text and multimedia messaging, a speakerphone and voice-activated dialing.
