Verizon's BlackBerry Tour coming July 12th, pre-order page now live

Looks like Verizon's got a winner here. That leaked promotional graphic was right on the money, as the carrier's just replaced its BlackBerry Tour teaser with a pre-order page and, lo and behold, it's indeed coming July 12th for a penny under $200. We're still waiting to see if Sprint's whispered July 20th date pans out, but regardless, if you want a Tour before anyone else, looks like VZW's the way to go.

[Thanks, Jeff]

Update: She's official. The press release says so.

I'm gonna go ahead and not say, 'yay' since that promotional teaser is nowhere to be found on the site you just linked...

This is great news, but now I am curious if its worth buying, or is something else coming down the pipelines in the near future on VZW thats worth holding out for?

I currently have a curve. I know theres numerous points in which the Tour is an upgrade, I'm just wondering if I should wait for a VZW Pre or Storm II or something. Hmmmmmm

Just tried the Pre order, it doesn't give you your new every 2 discount.
You have to go thru tele sales for that is what I was told.

VZW's Tour Pre-Order page has crashed...when you click on it, it tells you it is not available.
ALso, the pre-order page will not open in Safari

How nice of VZW to stiff current customers wanting to pre-order/upgrade to the Tour.
Does anyone at VZW know that the greatest source of additional revenue always comes from your existing customers?
That's a big FU to all of us who pay VZW every month.
