BlackBerry Tour Review Verdict: Best Verizon Smart Phone
July 1st, 2009 by Mark Spoonauer 
We just posted our full review of the BlackBerry Tour ($49.99), and I have to say my BlackBerry Curve 8330 is looking mighty ancient right about now. At $199, this smart phone isn’t cheap (and that’s after a $70 mail-in rebate), but you get a more pocket-friendly design than the Bold, a fast processor, comfortable keyboard, and 3.2-MP camera in a sleek and sturdy design.
What don’t we like about this device? The lack of Wi-Fi is a turn-off, especially for those who want faster browsing speeds at home, work, or at hotspots. Then again, the browser isn’t exactly stellar either, because the high-res display makes zooming in on Web pages pretty much necessary.
Nevertheless, I would snatch up this phone in a second if I were a Verizon Wireless customer with an itch to upgrade. Be sure to check out the full review and let us know if you plan on getting the Tour or maybe waiting for the Storm 2.
