I don't use the current GMail app, so maybe the current version doesn't mark read messages. While the other features coming out might be useful, the read status won't be anything new. My Blackberry syncs fully with my Gmail just fine, and has been since Google and RIM integrated IMAP functionality with the BIS service many months back. I read my emails from my Blackberry and no longer have to go on Gmail to mark them as read. And when I read them from the web, I don't have to mark them as read on my phone. Yes, Google's sync client isn't always as reliable, but I can deal with checking it myself once a week. Like others, I’m a little confused by what this article is stating about read status.

It seems to me like blackberry is going to eventually roll all the various messaging forms into the Blackberry messenger app. One place that does BBM, SMS, MMS, IM, and Email. Nothing has been said about any IM changes yet, but to me this seems to be the way the wind is blowing.

I want!.. I dont' know why it's so difficult to just allow Gmail in your Message app, but use a different color to differentiate between work and Gmail. Currently i'm just using the Gmail app, I don't like the integrated gmail support at all. no biggie having to go into seperate app, especially since I have it hotkeyed. Sweet! I want!..

Isn't it *almost* the same phone as all the recent BBs with just slightly better hardware and memory? The OS gets a marginal update at best. It still can't render a webpage, app support will still be lacking, and the UI will just get an updated theme. I love bbs, but I'm tired of the endless minor hardware and cosmetic updates with no improvement to the OS. I plan to hang onto my 8830 until January when I hope the Pre comes to Verizon. If it doesn't, I'll upgrade to Tour. I just don’t get the excitement around Tour? Isn’t it *almost* the same phone as all the recent BBs with just slightly better hardware and memory?

It is my understanding that the BB Tour is the same BB system with an updated keyboard, faster processor, better screen, etc. when compared to the BB Curve or BB 8830. If you are compairing BB to Android, the iPhone, or the Pre than you may have a point, but you seem to be forgeting that it is VZW that is offering this phone and there is no other choice on that network..... yet. (note: I know Sprint is offering this phone as well, but I would wager that the majority of BB Tour fans reside on the Verizon Network) @Maverick
