    Is it true that Verizon is coming out with a Tour that has a trackpad instead of the rolly ball?

    It is one of the more contentious and controversial issue in the CrackBerry and BlackBerry world today. And yes, trackpad, Wi-Fi, and other things are coming aboard.

    I was reading this in another post and i dont know if it was true if anyone could further back me up. Apparently the tour is built so that it might be possible to buy a trackpad, sensor, and new buttons from like true supplier or something and could be made into a trackpad tour. Anyone know if theres any truth to this? thanks

    No. This has been covered countless times. That would take almost all new hardware, software, and very special skills to convert the original tour into a trackpad. And I highly doubt the parts even exist.

    Here's my logic as to why this could possibly be done and please coorect me if I'm wrong, but if the tour and the new bold are basically the same exact phone wud it really be impossible to buy a new bezel and the proper parts from true supplier as soon as they r available for the 9650. According to another cb member they were saying the way the sensor is hooked up for the trackball its the same way its hooked up for a trackpad.....
