I'm not too sure about this one. RIM hasn't even acknowledged the Tour's existence.

I hope so.. I'm surprised they never announced it any major event...
We will know in less then 24 hours!!
For the first time I feel the future might hold something different for me. It's possible I'm fooling myself but I'm willing to take the risk.

RIM/Sprint/VZW only did that today.

I suppose it could be 5.0...the review I read on CB was from March and it stated 4.7.

4.7, I though was only for the Storm/TouchScreen..
I'd at least guess to say, all the "next-gen" BB's to get 5.0 by the end of year. (Or by WES/CES/CTIA of next year, did RIM officially so anything about Device OS 5.0 they did ALOT of talk about BES 5.0 )

I'm ready for this device. The ATT boys have been running around with the bold for what, a year? All we got was the Storm. Which I passed on.

I'm looking to get this whenever it comes out...Will end up having to wait until October-ish when Im able to get an upgrade though..At least ill hear all the pros/cons by then. Maybe the price will be lowered by then too.

It was announced by Sprint and RIM 4 days ago. One article said VZW had not released a launch date as of press time. RIM BlackBerry Tour 9630 (Sprint) Smartphone reviews - CNET Reviews

I would have too, but mine is a company phone and my contract isn't up yet. And the release of 4.5 kind of kept me going for little while. But I'll jump at the this one. Unless Atlas is revealed as something to wait a little longer for.

A rep in the local VZ store told me "some day in July" for the Tour when I was there this week. Since this is the rumor mill I figured I would throw that out.

Yeah. Obviously, the close we get to mid July with no news, the least likely. Anyone have a contact?

Forgot to ask the VZW guys about the Tour :(
But LTE/4G looks good for the end of next year  at least that is what they are hoping.
7 MBs down on a mobile phone that's pretty sick.. With the capability of expansion/upgrades.. That's gonna be some wicked technology.
More meetings with VZW will happen in the future hopefully I remember next time.. at work I tend to think about different things lol

Appears Tour will be coming to VZ on the 12th. This looks legit.
BGR has the preview ad posted this morning.
