ive had this phone for almost a year now... i loveee it. never had really problems with it. best phone i have had so far.
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.
I purchased my BB tour after watching your review and I wanted to thank you! I love my phone. Keep up the good work! THANKS!
they dont. you dont need the sim card if u are using it in north america but if you go outside the US you are able to use GSM via the sim card...
yes they do i have had blackberrys since 2006 and they do have threaded.
how much is it full price if your going to break your 2 year conract?
This phone is amazing, i just ordered mines from sprint yesterday...keep up the good work noah!
Yes it does i have my iphone right here. it has a sim ejector tool when you get it too look it up.
i have one and i havent had one freeze and its like 3 weeks old, the trackball is really smooth.
the backlight can turn off at any amount of time you set it to. i have mine at like 2 seconds.
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.
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!
Totally awesome Noah! I would like more details on your impression of the key board.
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.
well i got a tour and i had mine for a lil while (mine is from sprint) and mine workd fine...i think they fixed the trackball problem...now im waiting for the essex to come out...with the trackpad and wifi
I don't have Verizon, but I'm guessing they have a 30 day return policy, as well as a restocking fee, usually like 20 bucks.
@cory8u you have to unblock it first or complete the contract you get with verison that its like 2 years
ay i have a question noah. wat do u do wit these phones after u review it. Do u keep it for ur personal primary phone or do u sell it to ppl or iono. wat do u do?
oh well i got mine like 2 weeks ago and i have to say, i love this thing! DEFINATELY recomend this!!
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
When you view like one little article like the one at the end of the video, by zooming in. Does the screen text wrap the article so you can read and just scroll down to finish it?? Or do you have move the ball back and forth so view the article? Reply back to me. Thanks. I'm thinking of getting a 9700 because it fits me more than a touchscreen.
i heard the 3gs overheats like the 360 use to so if you want touch screen go iphone but you have to 100 dollars a month so i would go with the tour
If you don't have a data plan then yes they charge 1 cent per kilobyte which can be A LOT. If you use internet then you add a data plan which is an extra $30 on your monthly bill.
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.
Beautiful phone. Still keep my 9780 as a back up
@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.
i have the env touch and idk like the touch is pretty good but if ur some one who likes the whole key board 2 type the touch takes time for u 2 switch to that on the touch face
No Wi-Fi, but there's a Blackberry device being released (hopefully soon) called the Blackberry Atlas that is the exact same thing as this, only with Wi-Fi.
The colors perhaps remind you of Verizon? Some of their smartphones of gray/black/red.
that wasn't a boot up.
the new blackberries turn on faster because there not fully powered off.
my bold turns on in like 3 seconds. but when it "boots-up" it takes like 1 minute
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, 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.
as far as physical feedback goes.. not sure about these phones but my HTC magic does a little vibrate when you type.. i wont go back to the little keyboards anymore
lol yup looks almost exactly or exactly the same as the curve more the bold has lil bigger keys.
No, it wouldn't but I'm pretty sure that AT&T has their own version of this.
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
Have you heard about the onyx and what American Company will it be comming out with.
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.
is this a good phone? im planning to get it next month for my bday and im not sure if i should get it, does it freeze? does the trackball work well? whats bad about it??
Really, this phone is terrific. i have had it for about a month. The battery life is a beast! it's great. the non wifi isn't that much of a problem. The web browser is pretty good. love the way it feels in the hand and i haven't had a single problem with the trackball. The keyboard is great. Overall an excellent BB. recomend to anyone.
The Tour uses CDMA plus has GSM which uses a SIM card for Global use.
the tour and storm have the best internet capabilities out of the blackberry phones =]. I have the tour and it lets me go to any website and it load pretty fast.
You have always done good reviews... But this time I wish you would have checked out how the web browser worked. I have the enV touch and I hate it. I am deff. buying this blackberry!!!
hey man, how often does blackberry upload there models?
so i was wondering if they update models every year..
Yea i went to verizon today and tested it...the keys are hard to type kind of but the screen looks nice...
I have the 8900..and i love it (tmobile) but what i like about this tour is that it has the keypad is like the the bold and the bold has a awesome keypad..i would so go to verzion for this but their data plans are killer
@towerguarder Well thats too bad because I dont think so. Do the 9780 have a non camera version?
@sookster54 the bold 9650 was just released for verizon that is the tour 2
verizon only uses CDMA in the US which means the sim card is useless here in the us it cannot with with the iphone hence the verizon SIM card only works overseas
well i mean.... they are two different blackberrys?
just cus the model number is bigger doesnt necessarily mean its alot better
lets say that you have a verizon sim card in a phone is it possible for you to put that sim card in another verizon phone without termination fee
yeah me too its a solid blackberry the best yet
I bought this a few days ago ! I love it . Mines is sprint . I just hate how it looks when it turns on . Lol . & the default wall paper is boring , But the phone is FANTASTIC ! Best Ive ever had !
when he says world phone does he mean u can use it throughout the world? im going on a trip to costa rica and im trying to find a phone that will work there
@WeKnowGaming yeah i know but Verizon's network is CDMA not GSM, so why the Verizon sim-card?
omg i have an updating phone thing in september and im totally getting the blackberry tour
Just a little question. What does rebait (or something) means? Where we live we can't buy phones on contract so..
not to showboat but im getting one free in the mail tomorrow! any recomendations on apps?
would wifi really be a big issue if you have an unlimited data plan?
@EEKSPLEE But due to my job, i have to use a non camera phone.
Do you know if 9900/9930 has a non camera version? cause atm 9780 seems like the only one with a non camera model
Is this better then the BB Storm Or should i stick with the storm >? Please Reply
If you get used to an iPhone it's very hard to go for any bberry . Too bad att sucks balls in NYC area , but not enough to make me switch to a bberry . I played with it for an hour or so and I found it way too complicated . iPhone on Verizon would be the end all be all .
rebate. basically, you mail in a coupon they give you and you get some amount of money back. so $30 rebate means when you send it in, they send you $30.
Does the Tour and the Curve 8900 have differences between the two?
blackberry tour, blackberry curve, blackberry 8330, or blackberry pearl what should i get idk
Such a good phone! I'm impressed with the querty keyboard so much, its fantastic! however... I wish the trackball was clear :)
And here we are.... in 2022 !! ✌🏼
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.
for me, its between this one, and the new droid. IDK which to choose
@XouiiX Because of Quad-Band GSM They Require a SIM
i would go for the BB. I had the env touch and didnt like it all that well. The battery life was horrible. And the touch screen was for me. I actually took the touch back and got a alias 2 and i like it better.
Look right above the camera... yes
@TheOnlyPav if i remember correctly the tour doesnt have wifi.
Interesting, it's like a Storm mixed with a Bold and a Curve.
the tour !!!! dare is good but no keyboard. look at the tour it has everthing! i have the storm, and its k. not as bad as everyone says, its just annoying sometimes. you have to be patient
hey if this phone has a sim card could u take it out and put it in an iphone and have a verizon iphone?????
we are moving into a generation where we will have wifi available throughout a wider area
i think i am gonna get this for sure. i want a smartphone that will keep track of my schedule and be a great messaging phone on verizon. so it is a win-win. plus it't got wifi which really helps out alot. what's not to love?
how would you say the newest curve (8530 is think?) is compared to this one?
i dont know which one to get!
@sococheergirl27 go with the tour, its more money but i like the trackball navigation a little better then the new curve and the tour is a little more sleeker and sharper. depends on what you like i guess
hi!
the tour is after or before the javelin?? thanks, I don´t know which Blackberry to buy ! :S help!
thanks!
ordered it today!! cant wait!
on of the best blackberrys ever
why do you guys pay so much for your handsets and still have to pay for a monthly contract. over in the uk we get the phone for free or or at maximum £50 when we sign up to contracts
@rafax161 it's the 9630
my aunt works at gm and she got a bb tour from her work.
noah from phone dog, You are awesome. You make the best videos on phones. It would help if you go a hd camera.
With this blackberry for verizon, do you Have to get a data plan, i would only use it for email and texting, i dont want to spend that much money
Is this phone a good camera phone?
it looks like a mix between a curve, storm and blod
AT&T already has this phone in most parts of the country.
well i sat that this phone would be better than the storm because a lot people have been turning in the storm because of some issues or some thing but yeah like i said before the tour is better than the storm i recommend the tour
"Very dramatic there!" hahaha
that made my day!
I love you Noah! =P
The Tour 2 is about to hit the market... Trackpad instead of ball, wifi and better cpu. Going to be a great phone.
I personally like the keyboard better on this one but I'm with you dude
is this better then the black berry bold??? please answer
with sprint it comes with a 1 gb memory card inserted
All of the new BlackBerrys have super-fast boot-up times.
it looks the same as the bold or is it different?
which one should i get between bb tour verizon and bb curve 8900 ?
i like to surf on the internet but i heard that bb curve can't watch any youtube vids/ flash ? Is that true ?
pls answer i'm gonna buy it tmr.
