Sunday Is The Day At Sprint And VZW...

[stevetaz]

So anyone planning to be at their Sprint or Verizon Wireless store Sunday morning to be the first on their block to get a Tour?

Hell, I'm still the first and only on my block with a Storm. May go in and check it out though.

You may see me more often when I get it, too busy and not enough to say regarding my old Pearl, just ordered online through the "Upgrade" process, the Tour was not available as a pre-order 2 days ago, but it is now. I am at my early NE2 status, so the device is priced at $99.00, did not realize at the time, I could have used the Promo code FREEOVERNT and received a free overnight shipping. I will be posting my impressions when I receive it!

i went and played with the Tour on my lunch break today at the Sprint store. VERY impressive device.

What did you like about it?

What did you like about it?

well i only had a bit to play with it. Most of my observations were cosmetic. The build quality and look of the phone make my Bold look like 90's technology. The screen has a harder plastic vs. the cheap easily pressible plastic on the bold. I really liked the feedback the keyboard gave, perhaps even more than the Bold's keyboard. The trackball seemed very smooth as compared to the gritty one in my Bold, which has been kinda gritty since day 1. I also like the styling of the back of the phone. It is just a really solid device and kinda made my Bold which I had with me feel cheap.

1 big no-no on the Tour which we all have known. No wifi. But if you are CDMA and want a BlackBerry it'd be hard to beat the Tour. Curious to see what the Storm 2 is like though.

And you went home without one Jay?

Yikes!!!!

[dgray636]

Give him time. I am sure he will have one by breakfast tomorrow.

yeah, as nice as it is I couldn't justify getting it when I already have the Bold and iPhone 3GS. I'll wait for AT&T to get a Bold refresh (Onyx please?) and stick to the GSM side.
