Verizon says the phone will be available in stores and online July 12th. Preorders are available for the introductory price of $199 with a new 2-year activation. Hopefully this applies to upgrades as well.

The Storm 2 is supposedly hitting Verizon stores around Christmas…

I can’t wait for the Tour, I became a BB addict when I got my Pearl for free through VZW and will never get another brand! I’ve had almost every “smart”phone that VZW made, Palms, UTStarcom, Motorolas, and BB is the best. And although I don’t like the policies or customer service, or tech support of VZW, it does have the best coverage. I had Sprint while living in Miami, and it was just ok down there, but horrible when I moved back to NY, AT&T was the worst in more remote areas of NJ, as was T-Mobile, and before Nextel merged with Sprint, well, I don’t even know what I was thinking signing a contract with them!

As far as wi-fi goes, I have in on my iPod touch, and it’s not that great, I know there are arguments fr it, but it’s quite unreliable and I know for VZW you have to have a BlackBerry plan anyway, so who cares about the wifi?

@David Thande: You really shouldn’t be chasing 12-year old boys like that. “knightmare” sits behind me in homeroom and is my friend. No wonder he seems depressed all the time now. Is this really where all those thrown out of Craig’s List ended up trolling to get young meat? You’re sick and need help.

@ BurstinKnightmares

Your load didn’t taste as good as your dads, but your mom would be the better judge as she says mine tastes like ricepudding! And yours taste like 1% milk.

It is true. Just went to the VZW website and saw that the Tour is on there at the same time I received an email from a friend with the same news.

@Swagger–VZW “flagship” phone might be a new LiMo R2 device, but VZW also has exclusivity periods on new Android, WinMo, BlackBerry and WebOS devices that can be considered “flagships” (i.e. Motorola Android, Omnia 2, Storm 2, “Cousin”)

I’m on my 5th storm today too. Love Verizon, HATE the storm. =( This looks like a good replacement for me though.

hi, VZW will be unlocking GPS on the Saga soon enough. First unlock GPS firmware went live on the Touch Pro but all VZW WinMo 6.1 devices with MSM6800-MSM7500 can use the same new custom driver.

Not surprising. The whole U2 thing along with the device being named the Tour makes all the sense. Wouldn’t be surprised if they have anything to do with each other and the concert tour along with a close launch date.

i usually at the many posts and constant bickering on this site but this was too extreme. Chill people. On a lighter note anyone know the real release date because it sure isn’t coming to free me from my original env anytime this week.

@ Len said “Let the BB fans keep saying “tuh tuh tuh tour”, and the iphone fans saying “mms (kinda) & copy+paste finally”, etc. And we’re all good to go”

Agreed, well said. My apologies for the flame war.

Honestly, just let ppl be. It doesn’t benefit you at all trying to ruin someone elses excitment over this. If it does benefit you tho, then you are just a really sad individual.

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.

@ JoeTour
“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?
