BlackBerry Tour spec sheet reveals little but our impatience

Most of the specs printed on this leaked sheet provided to MobileSyrup about the upcoming BlackBerry Tour were either known or could've been easily deduced, but a couple line items in here stand out: EV-DO plus HSPA 2100, 256MB of onboard storage, 3.2 megapixel AF camera, and an 480 x 360 display are all confirmed one more time as this thing trudges toward release. If we had our druthers, this would already be available on Verizon by now -- but current rumors have it pegged for a mid-summer release, which would line it up with where MobileSyrup says the 9630 will launch on Bell in the middle of July. In the meantime, those dang 8830s certainly aren't getting any younger.

Let's wait and see how Verizon cripples this thing...

Verizon will fuck this up like everything else they do.

I saw a Fios commercial the other day, showing off how their cable boxes and stream media from your computer, and in the fine print, there is an additional monthly charge for that? ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS? Why the hell would anybody pay a monthly fee to watch and listen to their own content?

The additional monthly fee is because it requires a special Home Media DVR. It does not use the regular cable box or the regular DVR. The Home Media DVR also allows you to watch DVRed content on any cable box in your house.

Oh and I forgot to mention, Verizon Wireless is a separate company than Verizon.
