    I think it ultimately depends on what the OP is looking for out of his device. For some of us is about the constant tweaking and tinkering that goes on (i.e. new leaks, hybrids, etc). Some other folks demand absolute perfection out of the box, which for a new release device its almost impossible.
    In addition, the technology will keep moving so if you wait new things will continue to come out so one has to take the plunge at some point.

    Wait, because no matter how bad what you have now is, you will hate the Tour. It has the worst trackball of an any Berry made. I can't stand it.
    If you get a Tour made after August 3, 2009, the trackball is perfect. I had to take my first Tour back and swap it for a new one. This is a known issue that has been resolved. My new Tour rocks!

    Get a Tour...you will love it. Then when the new phone comes out....and you want it....sell your Tour on eBay - you will get your money back.

    I believe, if you get a Tour this week...next year, you will still be using the Tour. It is that great !!

    Don't forget the optical trackpad to replace the non functional trackball in the Tour.

    No guys, this won't be just your regular Tour plus WiFi and a trackpad

    Also, just to confirm here, there is no touchscreen on this one, but a little surprise for suuuuuuureeee will come with it.

    Well, in the blog post from Sep. 1st, Kevin admits that he photoshopped the picture. Am I getting warm?

    Maybe its a bad angle or glare from the lights, but I don't see convenience keys.
