So apparently not many people like the battery cover, but..
I LOVE IT. I think it looks so classy. Bring it.

Thank you for sharing Jack! The phone looks great... each time I see it I want it more and more!

Cool photos

So jealous, but it kinda reminds me of a 8900, and I hate the 8900 looks. How do people like you get access to devices so early, so damn jealous once again! LOL

They pay for it through the nose

OP: Any update on finding a new OS? Ask Kevin, he should help you

Nice pics Jack. I'm sure people are thankful for you sharing them. You have one of the early units, hence the silver back. No worries, you can always get a new one. I would love to provide you with newer device software, but cannot due to certain things. One would think as it gets closer to release, some of the builds will leak out. Rest assured the device is working very smooth with the newer SW. Enjoy.

So the production device will have the boring black battery door? Sure the silver looks odd but if you replaced that with black and kept the carbon fiber it would be HOT. Just my opinion of course... After market option maybe? ;]

Man your pool looks almost like an exact duplicate of this girls house i know, its scary lol

Because originally it was named the Niagara, then changed to the Tour.

I hope they also change the trackball to optical! that old trackball looks ghetto on the nice phone

[IIIM3]

hahahahahaha! When i saw the fist couple pictures i was like "WTF!?!?!? Why is it blue?" but then i realized it was a sticker. I also like how you're watching Star Trek.

Looks nice. I don't know if I like the back tho

the back is not like that its going to be black I think. His is a pre release test model or something

im going with 99 percent that its going to be a trackball and not a trackpad..

especially if the week of july 13 holds true..

Yeah I hope it's going to be the trackball just cause I like the look of the black and I'm used to the look I think trackpad would just look weird but it looks good on the 8520.

Phone looks sweet thanks for the photos, can't wait to get this. Plus I am seriously jealous of the house and not one but two cars. Greatly appreciated

[Edwarddd]

How about 100 percent? There is no trackpad 9630 for VZ

[saifbukhari]

OOOOOOOOO i likes!!!! Nice house btw :-D

Nice.. i was going to buy the tour when sprint releases it but just committed $400 in july towards my full cave diving course... Did RIM decide to go with a 2 contact battery this time or is it 4 contacts on the battery?

[mobiman]

That's definitely an engineering sample and am sure the pin will be blocked soon
