Sprint to launch BlackBerry Tour on July 12th, $199.99

Still wondering why we steered clear of that July 20th rumor? Sprint has made it official folks, the BlackBerry Tour will be launching with Sprint on Sunday, July 12th. Pricing lines up with Verizon at $199.99 after instant rebate but there will be a mail-in rebate of some kind to deal with. More info as it comes in — Sprint still hasn’t issued an official press release.

    It’s amazing to me how many crybabies are getting offended at me for calling people out on their bullshit but they are doing the same thing. But when I defend Sprint, I’m the bad guy and i’m wrong. I’m the bully. This other dumbass, sprunt, things he is a psycholgiest or something thinks he has me figured out. Their is nothing to figure out. That is what this is for. It’s a forum. It’s for discussion and debate. If you don’t like what i’m saying, tough shit. I’m not no fuckin bully like everyone says I am, i’m just telling the truth. I just happen to be coming back to correct the lies. I have the time so I think I will. As for the iPhone peeps, please. Those gay phones can’t even multitask. Why would you even want a phone that can’t do 2 things at once? The Palm Pre is way better. Give it some time and it will have the apps too. Anyone else? I’ll be here. Just call me out. Haha.

    I still dont understand why people insist Sprint will be bought. FCC will laugh at the Idea that there would be one Dominant CDMA carrier considering Verizon Already has Alltel.

    Keep in Mind, T-Mobile still has a ways to go in order to get that 3rd Spot from Sprint. Dont hear anyone sayin T-Mobile will Fail. You think FCC would Let AT&T buy the only other relevant GSM provider??

    Dont think so.

    This email is to clear up some confusion. (1) Sprint and Verizon Wireless both share a common roaming agreement. (2) During network test drives held by a third party analyst, Sprint ranked #1 with data speeds. They were a tiny bit faster than VZW and much faster than AT&T Mobility. (3) Sprint has turned a profit for the past 4 quarters and is in no financial danger of Chapter 11. (4) Sprint is finally recovering from the Sprint/Nextel merger that (to some) was a mistake. Sprint overall used to be a great company and is slowly getting back up on their feet. Keep in mind people, this is an American Telecom company. Verizon Wireless is partially owned by Vodafone and T-Mobile is partially owned by T-Mobile. Myself, personally would like to see Sprint work on their image. The fact of the matter is Sprint is a nationwide company and in my eyes, a fully American owned company. They made large mistakes in the past and have paid the price. They are finally going in the right direction and during these hard economic times need to support our American industry leaders.
