Verizon Takes Us On A Tour

blackberrytourhotlinks

The Tour has landed and I am a little envious!  If you are a Blackberry owner and have Verizon as your network, then you have been waiting for this day for a long time.  With the Blackberry Storm being a big bust (or at least it was for me when I owned a Storm) the Tour sounds like it will definitely make up for it!  Blackberry has been booming on the AT&T network.  They seem to release a new Blackberry every month.  Now its time for the number 1 3G network to get busy when it comes to the Crackberry!  So if anyone is looking to donate some cash for a guy like to get a new Tour, let me know : ).  Unfortunately I might have to wait a while since I took my last upgrade to the get the Storm, lame!  But for all you people that can afford or happened to try out this whole Blackberry craze and decided to start with the Tour, let me know your thoughts on it, and enjoy!

  1. That’s hot! I didn’t hear about the Tour before I saw it on your site, so I’m actually kind of jealous that Verizon has it. I’m on Sprint :(

    How is it so different from the Curve though? (Sorry I’m not a techi :)

  2. I know I geared the blog post towards Verizon users but I think the Tour is available on most carriers. But some of the big differences is that the keyboard is a bit bigger. I really like the look. It is global ready which isnt a huge deal if you don’t travel much. The screen is a lot crisper and its has a better camera. For me personally I love the look though!
