A spec page unearthed on the carrier's website (complete with an image of a branded handset) tells us that US Cellular is going to end up carrying the BlackBerry Tour at some point, following Sprint's and Verizon's leads down the path of BES-compatible global roaming QWERTY joy. That's cool, but we don't have an inkling of a date or a price -- and with trackball-gate still fresh in Tour users' minds, it'll be hitting shelves with a bit of an image to overcome; then again, the alternatives are the ancient 8330 and 8830, so let's be honest -- it'll probably do alright for itself.[Via PhoneArena and Boy Genius Report]
AT LAST! And only several months late...
My 8330 has been to hell and back so I can't wait to upgrade, trackball-gate or not I'll be picking this up on launch date, whenever that is....
All signs point to a launch at the end of October.
According to retail stores, the BlackBerry Tour will be released to US Cellular customers on October 29th.
