With Research in MOtion holding its press conference earlier this week, we thought that they were going to go through the paces of an official unveiling of the BlackBerry Tour 9630 , a smartphone that we had previously known as the BlackBerry Niagara. We expected more launch information to be come available, but that didn’t really happen. It’s not confirmed, but it seems that info is coming no.
We’ve heard a few different dates tossed around for the new BlackBerry 9630 Tour, but the latest leaks are pointing toward a launch during the week of July 13th. As expected, the initial release will be through Verizon Wireless in the United States, though the device will likely trickle its way through other CDMA carriers as time goes on.
The tipster is reasonably confident that Verizon will start selling the BlackBerry Tour on Monday, July 13th, though it’s very possible that the release could be pushed to the Wednesday or Friday of that week. Either way, this still puts us about two months out and possibly
This is my first Blackberry. I got it for free for work, even though I don’t really need to be in contact that often.
This phone is like a swiss army knife with 50 tools. Technically, it can do many things, but it does none of them well. The menus are a jumbled mess of indistinct icons, and the drop down menus contain endless items to scroll through to get to the one or two you actually use. There are lots of options screens with lots of choices, but they are so disparate and poorly laid out you will always have to hunt around to find the setting you are looking for. Overall, the device’s software seems like a project where several different teams worked separately, never talking to each other until the day before it shipped, when they hurriedly pasted it all together.
Navigation with the little thumb stick is ok, often not very precise, and frequently frustrating. The small keyboard is actually not bad, and I have big hands, though I hear others at work who have the same model complain about it. Battery life is also just ok. I don’t make many calls and I have to recharge every couple days. Call quality with Sprint is good and I haven’t had any problems with reception. The web speed is also ok. Email sync methods leave a lot to be desired, but I wouldn’t blame RIM for that.
If it were my money, I would have bought an iPhone or the Google phone. I have tried them and they are much more elegant and user friendly. The Blackberry is crude tool at best, and at worst it’s a lot of frustrating scrolling and clicking trying to find what you are looking for.
I loathe and despise this phone. It’s operating system makes booting it take forever, and when it finally finishes booting it operates at incredibly slow speeds. I have to make sure to exit out of my applications after finishing any task, because if I’m running more than 2, it starts locking up on me.
I’d bought a 8GB card for it; waste of money. If I wanted to access the media on it, it has a load time nearly as long as the original boot. The Sprint Store crashes my phone 50% of the time.

Red BlackBerry Curve 8530 coming to Sprint?
Sprint currently carries the Curve 8530 in black and lavender so red wouldn't be that far fetched. They also released the Curve 8330 in a variety of colors.
