BlackBerry Tour runs on the carrier's respective EV-DO Rev. A 3G networks domestically
and offers 3G UMTS/HSPA (2100Mhz)
and quad-band (GSM 850/900/1800/1900; GPRS/EDGE) support, so you can get voice
and data coverage while traveling outside of North America .
The smartphone also offers Bluetooth 2.0
(including stereo Bluetooth and tethering) as well as assisted and autonomous
GPS, but unfortunately, there is no Wi-Fi.As far as design, the BlackBerry Tour
is a blend of the RIM BlackBerry Curve 8900 and the RIM BlackBerry Bold. The
device measures 4.4 inches tall by 2.4
inches wide by 0.5 inch thick
and weighs 4.5 ounces. There's a
35-key QWERTY keyboard for easy typing and a 2.44-inch, 480x360-pixel
resolution display.
The Bold took BlackBerry devices to a new design level, and
CDMA users have been wanton for their own version since it was first
announced. RIM did one better and gave
them the BlackBerry Tour 9630. A
beautiful blend of the Bold and Storm, the Tour packs some goodies under the
hood too such as worldwide connectivity thanks to the quad-band GSM radio. Other amenities include a gorgeous HVGA (480x360) display, 3.2 megapixel camera with autofocus,
microSDHC expansion and EVDO Rev. A connectivity. The Tour is the first non-touchscreen BlackBerry with OS 4.7, a version previously reserved for the Storm. Included in the box you’ll find.
The RIM BlackBerry Tour 9630 looks and feels great, there
are no two ways about it. It borrows heavily from the Curve 8900, which itself borrows from the Bold and Storm. The materials are better than the Curve
though, as we would expect from a higher end device. From the front they look very similar, but
there are definite differences. For
starters, the keypad is styled like the Bold, with the keys butting up against
each other and the arching flare to the left or right. The trim around the Tour is less pronounced
at the bottom as well.
