Does both the Bold2 9700 and Tour2(Essex) operate with HSPA for data?
Both have Wifi
Both have GPS
Both have optical Trackpad
Believe both have the 3.2 MP camera
Othly diff I see is the GSM vs CDMA.
But I heard that the ESSEX has options for a SIM card (worldphone capable)

The Tour gsm frequencies are for Europe only (hence the sim card/world phone), so in North America you will only be able to use it on cdma ( no sim card needed).
but seriously.. they are very similar, so i would pick the phone that can be used by the carrier that's best for your area. also keep in mind - the essex will be able to use cdma AND non-3g gsm, so that's a plus.

Yep, I love the ability to use Verizon and AT&T's service (with a pre-paid SIM).

This is not so.The Tour(and I presume the Tour2) is also a quad-band GSM device. Once you have the Tour2 unlocked you can use a T-Mobile or AT&T SIM card.GSM data will only be EDGE. Can you use the Tour's WiFi while operating it in GSM-mode?
