    Got my Tour today, open the UPS box, pretty Sprint Box, pull the Tour out...

    VERIZON at the bottom of the Phone. Unfreak'n real. The worst part is I think the software on the phone is Sprint. I'm gonna try to activate the phone and see that happens. Pics taken with my Curve so sorry for the burriness.

    Wow! How in the world could that even happen? Must have been a mistake at the RIM factory?

    Its a Sprint Tour. I called them to return it, but then said say I have to play with it first. Everything about it is Sprint. Chrome bezel and everything. I'm gonna call to active and be the ONLY Sprint user with a Verizon Tour

    wow. i guess the shortage really hit sprint hard. i wonder how that phone conversation with verizon went. "Um...ah...do you think we could borrow a couple thousand units?"

    im glad i ordered mine when i did. i couldn't stand verizon badging, although, i wouldn't mind the titanium bezel

    yea show us a picture or video of it loading sprint with the verizon logo, and better yet, do a nice video showing the esn from inside the phone and the box because i really am skeptical, my buddy has verizon, i easily could of mocked it up exactly like this

    that's a riot! i wonder if it was an RIM manufacturing screw up or a provider screw up.
    either way, you probably have a one-of-a-kind Tour!
