RIM BlackBerry Tour 9630 (Sprint)

By (cnet.com)

The RIM BlackBerry Tour 9630 offers world-roaming capabilities as well as Bluetooth, GPS, and a 3.2-megapixel camera. The smartphone offers a great design that combines a sharp display and an easy-to-use QWERTY keyboard in a fairly compact size

The smartphone lacks Wi-Fi. The Web browser falls short of the competition, and there's a bit of shutter lag on the camera. You can't save apps to a media card

With a winning design and fast performance, the RIM BlackBerry Tour 9630 is one of Verizon Wireless' top smartphones for both business users and messaging fanatics.

RIM Blackberry Tour 9630

. Instead, consider the new Blackberry Tour from Verizon. Its e-mail and social-networking features are ideal for constant communicators, though its web browser and voice calling leave something to be desired.

Superb multimedia playback on music, video and pics. Extremely bright and colorful screen was still easy to see in direct sunlight. RIM makes it dead simple to hook up the phone to receive your e-mail, Twitter and Facebook updates

Call quality is sub-par. Some screen lag when we started using the phone, but it eventually stopped. Teeny tiny browser fonts gave us migraines

RIM BlackBerry Tour 9630 (Sprint)

By Sascha Segan (pcmag.com)

Sprint now has two top-notch smartphones. The Palm Pre is the energetic, if still somewhat unformed adolescent. The BlackBerry Tour 9630 is the mature adult. Both have things to learn from each other. The Pre could learn a lot from the Tour's great ...

Solid build. Very good call quality. Excellent keyboard. Beautiful screen. World phone

BlackBerry Web browser still needs help. Sprint's music store should be avoided. No Wi-Fi

The BlackBerry Tour for Sprint is an excellent, no-nonsense smartphone.

Until we see the next WebOS phone, then, I'm crowning the BlackBerry Tour...

Internet surfing could be better
