Yawn. Another day. Another variation of the BlackBerry form factor. This one lacks Wi-Fi but it does have a 3.2 MP camera and a slightly different keyboard than all the rest. The BlackBerry Tour is available online for the 2 year contract price of $199 (no rebate) or if you’re against contracts Verizon will enroll you for a month to month contract after you buy the phone for $489. If you’re a Verizon customer using an older BlackBerry then this is a pretty sweet upgrade. For everyone else, based on specifications and form factor, it’s just another incremental BlackBerry upgrade. Watch for this one to hit the “free” category within 4 months.
