Had a problem with the trackball
on my 8350i. Went to local Sprint
Corporate store to fix it.
Asked about the Tour 2 because I
am eligible for upgrade 02/01 and
the rep told me he heard May or
June. Tried to sell me on new Curve
as I don't need Nextel anymore.
I told him that this site had rumors
about a February release. He went
to his computer and checked the
system and told me March.
Is there anybody else who can
confirm?

Well the rumors of the feburary third are for the verizon release but the sprint will only be days behind. The sprint reps are trained to say march because the statement said q1 and march is the last month in q1 so they are playing it safe. They know less than most of us on this website do. Lol

Yep, that's what the Sprint reps at the stores here in Omaha are telling me, too. March. But I'm sure they don't know for sure, or just guessing Q1 as mentioned, so they say March.
With other BB's, do Sprint and Verizon usually release around the same time?
The Tour 9630? Which one released first?
I know from just looking the past couple of months that Verizon released the Curve 8530 quite a bit ahead of Sprint.01-30-10 09:26 AMLike 0 -

Yeah the 8530 was released a month or so before sprint and the verizon original curve was released many months before the sprint one.
The tours were released 2 days apart though so that is why we are thinking they will only be days apart for the sequal.

LOL at the Sprint rep for telling you may or june and then trying to sell you another phone. The sprint reps don't know anything. there job is to sell the phones that they currently have in the building not the ones that are "on there way". You guys have to start treating these in store reps like car salesman, they will tell you anything to get a sale TODAY not in the future.01-30-10 09:40 AMLike 0 -

The wait is so frustrating, I need a BB very soon because my work one is going to be turned off any day now (company is going under) and I don't want to purchase a Tour today and then the Tour 2 is out very shortly. Or worse yet it comes out 31 days after I buy the Tour.
I don't want to go to long without a BB so I may just have to get the Tour now... I am spoiled because I had a Bold 9700 as my work phone, that device is so awesome but I hate ATT service.01-30-10 03:01 PMLike 0 -

i dont know how you feel about sprint or how their service is around you but you can get onto a boost plan for 60 bucks a month non contract
that includes everything
web
bis
txt
mins
everything like the SEP but no contract and the curve would have 5.0 os also01-30-10 03:31 PMLike 0 -

I have had Sprint over ten years, I just changed my family plan (two blackberrys) to the everything data for 129 minus 25% minus $20 svc credit per month. So I have two blackberrys for about $85 a month. I am big fan of Sprint service in my area and of course of the cost of the plan. No other carrier can even come close to two blackberrys w unlimited texts and data for $129.01-30-10 08:33 PMLike 0 -

I heard March from the husband of a regional manager. He has a 8330 with a big crack down the screen so I think that he would know.

Here in Central Illinois, the Sprint reps are also saying March... We stopped in on saturday to change up the plans a bit and get the wife a 8530... The rep asked why I'm still carrying my 2yr old 8130 and not wanting a new one. I told her that I do want a new one, but I'm waiting for the 9650, she didnt know what i was talking about and had to look it up in their system.
She then proceeded to try to sell me a 9630... :-) I said I would come back later.01-31-10 10:24 PMLike 0 -

100 % agree. I have 3 phones on sprint. 1 blackberry , 1 instinct , 1 rant and it costs me 150.00 for the everything data, unlimited everything. text , mobile to mobile ( any mobile ) and pic. noone can beat that kinda package. not the biggest fan of sprint but it works and is cheaper than most.I have had Sprint over ten years, I just changed my family plan (two blackberrys) to the everything data for 129 minus 25% minus $20 svc credit per month.
