The great people at Verizon has Provided us with this one.
The RIM Blackberry Tour (9630) comes ready to use with 256mb of onboard memory with a upgradable Micro SD slot. With its 480 x 360 pixel screen it compliments the 3.2 megapixel camera/video well.
When taking this product out the box i was very surprised with the weight and how slim the phone was. The internet on this thing was amazing! Verizon 3g really does get the job done.Texting and Emailing couldnt have been easier,with the qwerty board, and the red message indicator light on the front.
The Scroll wheel on the front could not have made navigation on this easier.
On the the left side of the device is a customizeable button which is defaulted as Voice Dailing on the right side is volume up and down, and another customizable button which is defaulted as Camera. Also on the right side is a 3.5mm headphone jack for quick hookup with your favorite headphones.

After taking this phone out the box i was very impressed. Windows mobile 6 looked very sexy with the touch flow 3d interface. In the programs menu, It comes packed with alot of programs like Office Mobile,Adobe reader LE, YouTube App, Internet Explorer(2ND web browser, This phone ships with opera as the default web browser).
Typing a long text message with this phone can get very annoying to me. With the built in hand recognition tool in the message software makes it sorta fun. I guess i would have to say this isn’t the phone for a business man who sends lots of emails a day.
The 3.0 megapixel camera also impressed me. I love the panorama mode where you can take 3 photos and make them in to one landscape photo.
Listening to music and charging this phone can be a difficulty this phone only has 1 port. This is the charger/headphone. There is an adaptor that come with it, but why carry around a bulky adapter.
The Battery life , In three words “is KICK ASS” i left this phone on for about 2 weeks not doing anything(no programs or anything)Â and just as im typing this review I’m getting a low battery notice.
So Overall I rate this a 4/5 … This Phone is avaliable now through Verizon!
