This is my first smartphone so I am new to BB. So far, I really like my Tour. I am beginning to understand the term Crackberry. Now, I am no where near an addicted user, but maybe if I knew more about this little wonder in my hand and what it was capable of, that could all change. I just want to know one thing that you love about the Tour or what it is about your Tour that makes it a "Crackberry". What better way to get a crash course than from experienced users! I think I have a good grip on the capabilities of this phone, but I'm sure there is tons of stuff I don't know about it.

And you have the 9700 LOL I am a Tour user and I love it. It is a great device and gets bashed a lot. I did have trackball issues within the 2nd month and the replacement is fine. The 4.7 OS is good too. I just wish RIM had a better browser.
As a phone it is GREAT Calls are crystal clear, even with the Jawbone Prime BT no one believes I am on my BB I love my Jawbone too. It is the best BT ever.
Email is fast, texting the camera. My music is outstanding. I use all the features also use it for documents. It is a powerhouse and am glad I have it.
Why I chose the Tour over the-
Curve: Looks, Keypad, GPS, didn't want to regret buying the older model
Storm/Storm2: Had a fear of breaking that large screen.
Why I love Blackberries: Browse the internet whenever I like, Poynt/getting phone numbers quickly and easily, instant e-mail. Not in that order, and Blackberries work best for me all around.
i use my Tour in place of a PC. For banking, music, tasks, youtube, communication, shopping, GPS directions and POIs when traveling, weather, news etc.

I love my Tour too! Only had it 5 days or so, and love how much better it is than my Pearl. The larger screen is great and it's nice to type on the keypad. I got sick of the "suretype" and used mostly multi-tap. Was going to sell my old berry but am going to keep it as a back up! :-)
I love my tour bc it can do basically everything I want. I used my camera just about everyday and it takes great pictures. I have music on here so I can listen while doing whatever. The internet comes in handy for many things. I am just overall really happy with this phone.

I just bought my tour two or so weeks ago, and I love it. Email is fabulous, SMS texting is great. Screen is good. Improved browser... also just recently upgraded to the 5.0 OS and it's so much faster than 4.7. I recommend it. Pluls, SMS text messages are threaded, now - great feature.
