BlackBerry Tour 9630 to launch on Verizon the week of July 13th?

Next in line to get scooped on this fine Thursday afternoon? How about a little BlackBerry Tour 9630 love for all you RIM addicts out there? Over the past few weeks we’ve been getting some pretty consistant feedback from various ninjas putting the highly anticipated BlackBerry Tour 9630 on the streets either Wednesday July 15th or Friday July 17th. We’ve been waiting for some more confirmation before running a post but now, thanks to a few email tips, we see that insider kevin byrne from HoFo has placed the launch date on Monday July 13th. Byrne has a good track record and at the very least, he’s always in the right ball park. Judging by our intel at this point we’re leaning more towards the 17th but it’s now a pretty safe bet that one of these three dates is the winner. Sure it’s not as early as BlackBerry-addicted Verizon customers would have liked, but at least now you can gear up for what will definitely be a hot Summer week in July.



woohoo!
i am sick of my curve! cannot wait!
Thanks for the information. So when is this device going to be on Sprint’s network..
yEa!!! Now let’s see if my patience holds out.
Will the Pearl Flip launch this month then?
NICE!!!!
Any info who and when gets it in Canada?
“reliable” and “good track record” means squat from BGR. They said that 4.7.0.141 for the Storm would be released by Verizon… still hasn’t happened. They will probably be way off again and will be an August release.
Boy Genius can go f*ck a goat. The c*ck sucking mother f*cking a** holes at BGR can’t report a correct story!
Nice Phone!!! Me Likey! This will be right around the time I’m getting my Touch Pro2 so we’ll ALL be HAppy!!!

LoL @ Ted McNealy, verizon has released the software, it just happened today or yesterday at wes… if you are so upset with this website, then why do you return here for information?
Relax guy its just a phone.
Is this both a GSM and a CDMA phone. Will I be able to insert a sim when using abroad while still be able to use Verizon in US.
Thanks for your help.
I’ve grown tired of all these new QWERTY BB’s… where’s the replacement for my beloved Pearl (which is held together with thin air and wishful thinking…)???
Can’t wait to see pricing on this.
when is this sexi piece of machinery coming to sprint
Same week as previous 2 iphone launches. Interesting time to launch – yes launch as i dont see this as an upgrade to any phone vzw has ala 8900 curve.
they should really try to get it out 2 weeks before that.
The pearl flip will be out when they get rid of the old pearls. And there was nothing about a new blackberry on sprints road map for 2009 I don’t think. If there was, it would be at the end of 09.
why does the phone in the picture seem to be running on at&t’s edge network? is this also coming to at&t?
9630 is supposedly going to launch in early/mid july and yet it was not mentioned at WES 2009?
Seems very odd..
Ohh yes, once it rains, it pours,
Its not odd that it wasn’t showcased @ WES. it was a software conference as it was noted a gazzilion times
The phone in the picture definitely says AT&T on it and its running on the EDGE network. Why is that?
When is this coming to At&t?
