I just received this phone about 2 weeks ago, works GREAT! I previously had the Blackberry Storm which had a 8G card, the Bold had a 2G car, so I just switched cards, which helped bring all my pics and videos to my new phone.

Blackberry is where you want to go, BUT, the Tour 2 9650 (codenamed: Essex) will be coming out shortly (rumored within the next month or two). When this phone releases, it's going to be the strongest Blackberry on the market. If you're going to buy any phone soon, make it the Tour 2. It will be worth the wait (like I said, rumors have said it will be out anywhere from a month from now all the way to next summer, but most clues are hinting towards the next month). Hope this helps!

if you get a blackberry you could keep the same plan as long as you subscribe to a data plan which can cost 15-20 extra depending on which state your in but if you change your plan it would be a total of 50 including data and voice plan but then you will no longer be under the family plan

No, you have to switch to Verizon, even though Verizon bought Alltel. Verizon bought Alltel, but they are still treating them as a separate network.

most awesome blackberry ever, if they had it on tmobile, i would definitely buy it. currently im having difficulty choosing my next phone, and sidekick lx 2009 and curve 8900 are my top two choices, but i have a lot of time before the upgrade, so maybe something worthy will come out by that time

Through Sprint the 8530 is awesome. 2.5 inch screen plus optical track pad. But This tour I think has better screen resolution and world capabilites..not to mention the cool design with chrome. Both are badass.

My job requires me to have a blackberry because of their enterprise. So I got the bb storm thinking it will be the closes to my iphone. After having it for 3 weeks I hated the response on the touch screen.I took it back for a BlackBerry Tour, now after having the Tour for 2 weeks the trackball does not response as well as it did the first few days. When you turn the ball up and down there is no problems but when you turn the ball side to side it takes for ever to move.
@habubauza15 жыл бұрын
I tried out the Tour at Verizon. I had a lot of trouble typing on the keyboard. It may just be me, but I had problems. I am a biased iphone user, however I was an 8 year Verizon customer. Doing instant messaging was ok, but I definitely miss the auto correct feature that I have on my iphone and also it was very difficult for me not having a touch screen. Overall I did like the phone, but it seemed a few steps behind the iphone's incredible interface. I do miss Verizon's awesome network though.

no you can use your mobile carrier. wifi is a lot quicker than mobile and a lot cheaper however you will only find wifi in "hotspots" which generally have a range 50 meters. if you use your mobile carrier you'll me able to use the internet where ever your phone but it can be quite slow and expensive.

@Tyrant604 Not to be like BekBud1, he lives in the U.S because he lives in Oakland. The reason why its using a SIM-Card is because it makes the Tour run on Verizon. You can take off the SIM-Card and it will still run on Verizon.

The Tour 2 has 2gb of on board memory, compared to the 256mb of the Bold 9700. Also, the tour 2 will be a world phone. When it comes down to carriers, the Tour 2 is only on Verizon/Sprint, so you can't get the Bold 9700 on the Verizon network, which is the best network.
@VentiChaiLatte15 жыл бұрын
No, unfortunately all Blackberry and newer model PDAs MUST have the additional fee. This was created to avoid data charges, many customers went on the internet "by mistake" and got charged thousands of dollars. So now it's a flat fee.

1) Leaked 9650's in final development stages all DO have 2gb on board memory. 2) Since 9,650 is less than 9,700, does not mean Bold 9700 is a better phone, just a different model number. 3) Contrary to what you New Yorkers mar think, there are OTHER people in the country, outside of a cities, which is where Verizon's dominating agile network takes over.
