Do you guys know if there will be HTML web browsing on the tour i couldn't find it anywhere on the the verizon web site and i heard from before that it will come with it.
yes, from the sounds of it the best BB browser to date
besides what crakalack said you can also download mini opera and bolt...
and with skyfire on the way (sometime)
I don't think browsing will be that bad..
keep in mind the default browser is not webkit so if your expecting a pre/iphone type browser then you will need to get bolt which is based on webkit 4 I think now..
What is the difference between the other browsers...do they allow me to get full internet browsing like on the iPhone?
Here is a great video displaying the Tour's web browser capabilities.

bolt uses webkit so its near identical...
but keep in mind that the tours browser supports full html
Been using the device for awhile now and havent bothered to install Opera mini on it as of yet... Normally thats done within two days of a new device.. Nice browser..
Basically what they're saying is this: the Tour browser supports full HTML viewing, and is supposed to be the best browser on any Blackberry to date. However, this isn't saying much. Will it render the pages well? Surely. Will it be fast and enjoyable? Maybe not.
As an alternative, there are currently two other browsers: Opera Mini and Bolt. I personally prefer Bolt, as it's quite fast and renders pages very well. Both are generally superior to the BB browser, but some people chalk it all up to preference.
In the future, a program called Skyfire is going to hit the market. It's rumored to be quite the browser, but not much info is known yet.
In a nutshell- BB browser is better than before, but that's not saying much. There are alternatives now, and more coming in the future.
