BlackBerry Tour 9630 Review

Targeting the business professional is always to go, whether on the ocean or the city, Canada-based Research In Motion released the first global 3G BlackBerry in the wild. Parts of the design features of Bold and Storm last year, the Tour marries familiar with all BlackBerry devices the best Verizon data rates we’ve seen.

BlackBerry devices scream professionalism from every corner, and the Tour is no different, but the growing number of quality, and often free entertainment apps in addition to productivity apps such as Word to Go, go to Excel, and PowerPoint to Go, make this The perfect phone for both the busy professional and Internet radio junkie both.

Design

The first thing you notice about this phone is that it looks much like the Curve and the Bold together in one neat package. The Tour comes with a shell almost identical to the Bold, but with a more natural look. Measuring (W x D x H) 2.4 x 0.6 x 4.4 in, this phone is just the right size to take on the road. The BlackBerry Futures Tour a dull chrome line, which is slightly better than a silver one, for obvious sunlight reflection topics. The battery cover sports a carbon fiber-like that can be easily removed and replaced with a 3rd party cover if you do not want one it comes with.

Another design would have me just the keyboard. If you chose your new phones on the keyboard design alone, then go out and buy it. The Tour has the best and most efficient keyboard that I found on any phone. The keys are nicely laid out, well spaced, and have a really good feel and grip on them. So you slip your fingers and a landing on another.
