please sal, just tell us everything you know about this phone. im sure there are a lot more people who would loveeee to hear about it!

[briankeith513]

LOL; I can't figure out if this a joke or not...

In the case that this is real: if the Essex takes the exact body of the Tour, the 9700 will still look way better.

That's just your opinion, pal. I have the Tour, and I've used the Onyx, and although the Onyx is a great looking phone, it definitely does not look "way better" than the Tour.

Forget the BB Essex, where's the BB LONDON!!!1

Oh, and the "extra surprise" is a 5.0 MP camera.

Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com

Ah, ok. That's cool. If anyone knows anything about megapixels, 5.0 over 3.2 isn't that big of a deal. LOL!

Now, if you would've said that the video camera recorded in HD, that would be something worth shouting about.

[Mike1022]

When will this be released?

[AaronWasHere]

Gimme nao!

[jrtplaya21]

Is that "extra surprise" definitely confirmed as the 5.0 mp camera? I was so going to guess that or front facing.

[moosc]

odin rocks all berries hands down\m/

[dtrue05]

any word on which carrier is gonna get the phone? if sprint gets it i might as well just wait for that phone instead of getting the tour

Edit: nevermind, I read it wrong.

Touche Kevin, Touche....

LOL

Sweet man! I'm VERY VERY jealous right now. LOL

[the one and only M]

i want this, but i can't buy it for wifi and the trackpad alone. better specs please.

[iMatter]

Does anyone like the touchpad better than a trackball? I've always been partial to a trackball...

[owadkelly]

good stuff mr. founder

[chevydudesixty9]

sweet! Cant wait

[cdaiscool]

And while you guys are debating this, I'll take my Odin.

Shweet....

[Itstakenovermylife]

The addition of WiFi IMO is DEFINITELY reason to trade in the Tour.

I prefer the trackpad... takes a couple days to get used to but after that the trackball feels old school

[mtrapani]

ahh this is lame. Only because I know I'm going to buy it. This is what I get for waiting on line opening day for the Tour

[Sinternet Jr.]

I can't believe people didn't see this coming. I love CB. Who cares about WiFi, just bring me the Tour? None of you remember this? I just smiled and shake my head knowing that people will soon have amnesia, and now have a problem of being a early adopter. Likewise when people based the Storm 2, and it's all about Tour, Tour, Tour. This is comedy. Btw, it's not taking 6 months for this phone to release. Terrible, right?

I doubt very seriously this device will release within 6 months or less. Testing only started last week.

thats good to hear in case i change my mind AGAIN.

I've always envisioned it coming around the 1Q 2010, but not the end of the cycle. Then again, it's RIM.

Crucial....any word on if VZW will be getting this or is it just for Sprint?
