    Well according to some threads i just now switched to sprint i bought a brand new sprint phone which is the blackberry tour and i came across this thread http://forums.crackberry.com/f141/ju...t-tour-296634/

    he said that theres no screen ripple and the head jack doesnt creak

    Every time i press a button the screen ripples and my head jack does creak I also found out that its incompatible with Micro SDHC when i update the firmware other than 4.7.1.40 i havent had trackball issues yet but how do i know if mine is a green dot or not is there a way to check it ?

    Look for the green dot on the box. If you have a recent manufactured date, you are probably ok.

    It has to have a problem first but if you call and complain of screen ripple they will replace it yes.

    You would have to have some defect that they would recognize and replace. There is no guarantee that you would get a "green dot" the next time. If your phone has minimal issues, I wouldn't worry about it.

    I looked at the box it says 24/09/09
    and what bothers me the most as of now is that my phone has the inability to read micro SDHC the phone is great i just want it to last and reading that a lot of people have had problems with the trackball

    As Jeff has said, if there's a problem with your device, Verizon will tell you whether or not it warrants a replacement.

    The green dot Tour's are certified refurbished phones that people get after they send in their faulty Tour for replacement. I may be wrong, but brand new Tour's come in the original new box and don't have the green dot. As long as your Tour has a recent manufacture date and has no problems, don't worry about the green dot because it doesn't mean everything.
