Debating on whether to go with the Tour or hold out for the Essex.

[sunNsnow]

If the Tour is meeting your current needs, then keep it.

If the track pad and wifi are important to you, then wait.

[daneg]

I really cant wait. My friend who knows I want the new tour said he is going to show me something about it tomorrow! I am excited!

He has an "in" at verizon somewhere. So I am hoping its either a date, working model.

[SoleCal]

it sure does look nice!

[BlkBryAddict]

Nobody knows and it will be a while I bet. Hopefully in 20 mos. when i am able to upgrade again ;p

That's pretty sucky for the people that dont own the tour (or any blackberry at the moment), and want the Tour, but dont want something outdated in a month or two!

I'll post back tomorrow night after I find some info out!

[BMahecha123]

So there hasn't been any word or rumors about Tour2 coming out to Sprint?

[dsj3]

Sprint? Their talking Quarter 1. Maybe Jan-Feb.

[8itchTits]

if it was going to launch q4/q1 i think we would have seen some press on it by now or at the least some "inside" info from kevin or the bg

[8itchTits]

on the release date ^^^ i mean

[Mistik]

Did we see any announcements on the Storm2 or 9700 until like a month before release?

[Denise in Los Angeles]

The Storm2 had a very quiet launch on Verizon. The 9700 is on T-Mobile's website, but I don't know about AT&T.

[tourboy]

Yeah, but seems like Verizon lately really hasn't given much noticed on their new devices so the Essex could be out by the holidays.

[rhoads00]

End of 2009 or early 2010 seem possible, but I've heard summer of 2010 some places.

[kaotic504]

since the Tour is $49 now at VZW, i would say they're clearing out stock for a reason.

[stephlb]

I would have thought that 2nd quarter(May/June) would have been a more reasonable date considering that the Tour was just released this past summer, but now I'm thinking sooner than that maybe 1st quarter. Or that could just be my hope LOL.

[dj2big]

it makes sense to release this month

[tourboy]

Can you elaborate?

it makes sense to release this month

[beantown85]

I'm happy with my tour right now...I do wish I would have wifi on this but I'll survive it's a really good phone.

[jhagan09]

my main concern is will it have texas hold 'em
