How are people supposed to know the phone is even coming out?
- Besides logging into this website and others, there has been no promotion and basically no big announcement that this phone is coming. Even on the verizonwireless.com, there is nothing about the phone, and it's not available under the list of phones either. If you go into the stores, there is no promotion either.
So I was wondering, how is the average phone user even supposed to know this phone is coming out?07-06-09 06:32 PMLike 0 - Evidently they are not. Maybe they are expecting supply shortages or want to make sure that there are no big issues they didn't catch with the firmware. Hard to tell but I agree its unusual.07-06-09 06:35 PMLike 0

Once its in the store it will be a different ballgame.07-06-09 06:55 PMLike 0 - one reason is so they can get rid of as many of those crappy storms as possible. a friend of a friend bought a storm 2 days ago and had no idea about the tour coming out and noone at verizon mentioned it. i told him to keep it till next week and then return it for the tour.07-06-09 06:58 PMLike 0
- Hit the nail on the head. Verizon knows that if they widely advertise the Tour, it is going to result in majority of people not buying any other Blackberries. Especially the disaster of a storm. they probably want to limit the hype of the new phone as long as they can. Most blackberries dont have a huge marketing campaign and certainly nothing close to the insane campaign the Storm got with all those tv spots and billboard spots.

They're trying, they really are. I found it humorous that my "private" and "exclusive" sale/deal ended on Tour's release date. BUT I assume since it ends that day I could still go in and upgrade to the Tour on the 12th.
Guess I didn't have to ask VZW for an early upgrade, but I"m glad I did anyway.07-06-09 06:58 PMLike 0 -
- ever since the BOGO ended, they gotta clear out the old crap somehow. I bet day before we'll see something.07-06-09 07:25 PMLike 0
