Verizon Wireless to officially announce BlackBerry Tour and release date tomorrow?

We just got a tip from a new tipster saying that Verizon Wireless will finally officially announce the BlackBerry Tour along with a release date tomorrow morning. This is not confirmed but would make sense given the July release date window is fast approaching and they’d want to avoid people switching carriers for upcoming handsets. The Tour website on Verizon’s site would also allegedly go live at announcement, and that is www.verizonwireless.com/Tour

Anyone heard anything about this?

    If this is true, I will cancel my iPhone contract, Verizon desperately needs a new blackberry device, the STORM just flat out sucks!!! Its strange that the worst cell phone providers (AT&T) get the cool the phones first, and the best cell phone network providers (VERIZON WIRELESS) gets the crappy phones, or gets last years hot phones. Has anybody ever noticed this?

    Byran said:Step away from your computers and Hot Pockets, get out of Mom’s house and socialize with a human for awhile.*****************************And the perfect example would be byron himself who sits on a computer or a hot pocket (?) And socializes with a ………Blackberry.
    Nice work, byron.

    @ JoeTour
    You misspelled my name twice, and differently both times. Impressive.

    I frequent this site because I work in the industry, not because I drop a load over announcements about topics I already know and have been well documented on this site over the last several months.

    Sorry if my comment hit to close to home…sorry let me rephrase…sorry if my comment hit to close to Mom’s home.

    i couldn’t wait any longer. my 2 years on ATT went up last week – my Pearl is on its last legs – so i picked up an iPhone this weekend. after 3 days i miss my BB tremendously. my fallback will be the 8900 if i can’t deal with this thing after 30 days. would love to see the Tour come out in time though.

    @Bryan.You hit the jackpot. Just the fact that JoeTour feels like attacking you means you are on to something.

    It is always the routine here.Boy Genius posts something new about Tour . JoeTour gets giddy like a school girl. Some other fellow phone junkies here bashes Verizon.And it goes on and on and on until Boygenius gives us something new to bicker about.

    Besides there is a difference between an Official Release Announcement from a service provider and speculation/rumored inside info on a Tech rumor site such as BGR.

    Ok, so basically what the Tour is, is the guts of the Bold, but in a smaller package like the 8900 Curve that was released not too long ago?

    Eh…not really. It has the same processor and chipset as the Storm not the Bold. But rumor has it that the processor will be clocked faster.

    @creeshberry, thanks for clarifying that for me. I thought it had the processor from the Bold.

    If BB could somehow mesh the Bold with the Storm we would be all set.

    This is insane.

    Today, I get home from work at around 4:30 and get check out my favorite sites (one of which is BGR) only to notice the usual losers who post TUH TUH etc. on every single article whether blackberry related or not about the newest blackberry…. (that is just like all the other ones that are already out on carriers that don’t cripple everything they brand their name on (VZW))

    I then post my typical “bring the trolls back down to reality” post, which of course gets a rise out of the usual trolls whom I think many of which are actually the same person (JoeTour=grrr).

    After going to the gym, making dinner, and washing my car I come back to the computer only to find the usual TourTrolls in full out flame war armageddon.

    I’m not going to pull out the cliche get out of your mom’s basement lines, but seriously… do any of you that can only type that four letter word actually do anything productive in life?

    “WHAT THE HELL IS YOUR PROBLEM. ?? BRYAN?”

    You attacked me, remember?! I made a general post that didn’t name a specific individual. I admittedly could have phrased my opinion in a more pleasant manner, but you were the one who replied. What is your problem? Me having an opinion?

    Everybody really needs to chill out. There is NO reason for anyone to come in here and bash the excitement of those looking forward to this device. If you’ve got nothing nice to say or contribute to, DON’T SAY IT.

    The people who want to kill the excitement of others are really mentally sick. You people have problems that need to be dealt with.
