Blackberry Tour for Verizon Wireless

Im getting a blackberry tour this Wednesday and was wondering if anyone has it what they think about it. Is it better then the curve and curve 2? If you do have it, how is it for texting and stuff like that?

Just about anything would be better than a curve. I hate mine. I'm upgrading my life and getting the new EVO in June. Blackberries are good for messaging and that's about it.

ive got the storm 2 and love it, but thats because its 100x better than the piece of shit env2 i had (and replaced 6 fucking times in less than 2 years)

they do a lot more then you think, many people dont even know all the apps it can run.

It sucks at browsing the internet. The browser sucks. The third party browsers suck. And most of the apps for it suck because the phone sucks. It is buisniness oriented device with most of it's capabilities centered around messaging and organizing. The android and iPhone OS phones are far better at pretty much everything.

^^this! i can see the blackberrys OS going away in favor of the new android OS. like fireranger said, its better at everything, i hated every blackberry i used. the droid is just amazing, i could never go back to a normal phone after owning a droid.

I love my droid. If I didn't get this phone I would have gotten the blackberry storm 2. There are still so many features I don't know about yet.

I'm going to best buy today to pre-order the EVO. Can't wait!

i find the opera web browser on my curve 8900 to be quite good. I have about 20 apps on the phone. I broke my iphone and replaced it with this phone and like it far better.

cant get opera on a storm 2 for some reason so ive got bolt, wich is much faster than the stock browser the only problem is the piece of shit doesnt zoom!

FireRanger · #14 05-31-2010, 05:43 PM

Yeah I tried bold and determined its just a different kind of suck than the stock browser. Part of the problem is also the lack of available horsepower. It spends more time thinking about and spinning hour glasses than it does loading the page.

the thing is there are dozens of models of blackberries all with different processors and memory and capabilities. You cant paint them all with one brush.
