I loved reading this thread!
I'm loving my Tour as well, and other than loading Beta software (big mistake), I have no complaints. I'm waiting until December to get my daughter and son BlackBerries as well. My daughter has been using Sprint Samsung phones since she was 12 and my son since he was 7; now they want BB's. She's 20 now, so it's understandable, but he's 12 and I'm still not convinced he requires that much power in a device, but who can deny another person a BB when you love yours so much?
I hope you're still enjoying your Tours until the next best BB CDMA devices come along for your carrier.
