So the Blackberry Tour is out on both Verizon and Sprint.\u00a0 I went to the store to check it out.\u00a0 It’s obvious that the Blackberry is not a phone for everybody.\u00a0 They had plenty in stock and not everyone was crowding around to see it, although the Blackberry Storm was a bit different in that respect.\u00a0 My first impressions… gorgeous screen, very response compared to my Pearl.\u00a0 The only thing about it is the keyboard.\u00a0 It’s kind of interesting that I would say that because the keyboard is probably one of the things that people like the most.\u00a0\u00a0 I hear it’s similar to the Bold in that each key is flushed together closely and not separate like it is on the Curve.\u00a0 I’m sure I would get use to it but I wasn’t overwhelmed by the phone.\u00a0 If you’re thinking about getting the tour, definitely go into\u00a0 the store and try it out first.\u00a0 By the way, I did not buy one this weekend.\u00a0 It turns out that I’m not eligible for the full upgrade until October.\u00a0 On a side note, while I was waiting for the salesrep to help me, I was playing around with the Blackberry Storm.\u00a0 You know what, I think it’s actually starting to grow on me a bit.\u00a0 It still does feel sluggish, but typing on it wasn’t actually too bad this time.\u00a0 I’m not going to get one but if they improve on it in the next version, it’ll definitely be a serious contender.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
