Telus’ BlackBerry Tour 9630 gets pictured fresh from a grease bath
So sorry, Bell, it looks like Telus is already preparing to rain on your parade. Just as the BlackBerry Tour 9630 will launch on multiple carriers here in the US, so too will it see several homes up north in Canada. Sure it’s a little blurry and it’s greased up like a young Arnold Schwarzenegger, but there’s no mistaking that branding — this little guy is Telus-bound. A 3.2 megapixel camera, GPS, Bluetooth 2.0, HVGA display and a knockout cocktail of CDMA/EV-DO/GSM/GPRS/EDGE/UMTS/HSPA make for quite the stunner. Excited, Telus crowd? Hit the jump for two more shots of greasy goodness.
Thanks, Ricky Ricardo Mentelban!

@Bgr C’mon We’re all waiting for a nice Red checkmark on the bottom of this baby. Give us some photo love.
@ david thande
a berry codenamed rogue? isnt it pluto 9900?
That keyboard worries me. I am use to my Curve keyboard and that looks like a Bold keyboard. I’ve typed on the Bold and the Verizon world phone, similar keyboards, and they quite frankly suck compared to the Curve keyboard that puts a little bit of space between each of the keys.
@eric I have used the Curve, Curve 8900, and Bold keyboards. BGR said the Tour’s was in between the 8900 and the Bold. So I’m thinking that’s right on the money.
My telus account upgrade offer expires July 10.hopefully telus has a smokin upgrade deal to get the tour. I’ve been waiting for this one!
where is a Verizon Ninja when u need one? wish the release date was NOW!
July 13th? Was what I heard?
Excuse my ignorance. What’s the difference between HSPA and HSDPA? Which one if the North America 3G?
