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?

Another great phone by sprint palm pro. Pre. Touch pro. The upcoming tour and the touch pro 2 sprint is steping it up in handset selection.

Is it me or do the Sprint versions of phones usually look better than the other carriers? e.g. Sprint's Diamond way better than Verizons

What's so great about this phone? Thin form factor but a non-Curve keyboard? Doesn't sound so great.

Big Boy @ Jun 19th 2009 10:31PM
Some people are grandfathered in...
John @ Jun 26th 2009 3:42PM
Perhaps the date on the pictured BB's screen "Sunday, July 12" is the potential release date? Seems logical to me.
eddy @ Jun 27th 2009 3:28PM
Hi, new to this but I was wondering what does SERO stand for?
