RIM’s BlackBerry Tour, the world phone that looks and feels equal parts BlackBerry Bold and Storm, is officially landing at Verizon Wireless stores on July 12.
The Tour (pictured above, right) is being released later this summer, and will be offered through Verizon and Sprint. The Curve 8900 (pictured above, left) was recently released for T-Mobile. The Tour is a tiny bit larger than the 8900, with only a 20 gram difference in weight.
The Tour and Curve 8900 do differ in the keyboard. It’s really a matter of preference which type of keyboard you find easiest to type on, but I thought the Tour was a little more fluid. The typing was smooth and natural. The Tour has the same keyboard as the BlackBerry Bold. As you can see in the above photo, the Tour’s keys aren’t separated like they are on the 8900. They have a little groove on each key, which makes it so your finger doesn’t slip off onto the adjacent key.
You can expect it towards the end of the summer, although there’s no official release date right now.
