My question is when will Bestbuy receive the BB tour for Sprint. I’m trying to wait because I hate rebates. Any info is greatly appreciated.

Looks like Sprint bought one of its customer a VZ Tour and put it in a Sprint branded box. Sad!

No WiFi in the Tour, waste of time. We need the Curve 8900.

People are just looking to keep talking down on Sprint b/c they’re vulnerable.

Why wouldn’t it be logical to think, that maybe the reason Sprint didn’t allow pre-orders was to allow for them to get a decent amount in inventory.

Plus, with Sprint having the Pre… Why would people get all excited about the Tour? Sure, there’s gonna be some BB crackberry users, who just want the latest BB; but the Tour isn’t gonna make people on Sprint go crazy trying to get one.

I guess to VZ customers’; the Tour is exciting

Sprint is losing customers at the same rate as AT&T and Verizon are gaining them. Sprint holds on to the data users by practically giving away the service for free. Great deal for customers, but how long can they operate their business doing that?

I read some were that 35% of sprint users are palm users also, 35% palm and 30% blackberry that’s crazy.

VZW loves making up number and rapping them off as truth, wait for actual numbers to come out because there still isn’t an answer for where the 50% Sprint are made on Verizon’s network

Sprint has 49M users, some estimates I have seen repeatedly in the forums on crackberry.com say that more than 30% of them are Blackberry users. If 3.5% of the 30% of Sprint users (1.05% of all Sprint users) that are Blackberry users got excited about the Tour and ordered one in the first weekend (more excitement on the Sprint side makes sense since they have gone much longer without a new Blackberry), then Sprint’s Tour demand could have outstripped Verizon’s half a million units.

@semicoln

Verizon sold over half a million of these already. I think we had a HIGH demand of the Tour. I can’t tell you how many I have sold in the past week. I have had tons of port in from Sprint for them screwing up. Ive also had a lot of AT&T customers.

SPRINT = FAIL

Lol @ verizon user, I see a lot of people LOVE getting raped with verizons high rates.

oh yea, FUCK the tour, LG BL40 anyone?

I’m wondering if Sprint had more demand for the phone than Verizon since some BB fans on Verizon have gotten either the Storm or the Pearl flip while Sprint users have been starved for a new BB. No one seems to be asking that question. Guess we will need to wait for some financial statements from either VZW, Sprint, or RIM to find out for sure?

I am with Sprint and ordered on Sunday and had it in my hand Tuesday! In fact, two of them! I just took the other one back to the store today (they sent it by a mistake). I LOVE IT! The keyboard is great – way better and feels better than on the curve – and the screen is great! Worth the wait
FWIW, Sprint has never done me wrong in my 10 years with them – GO SPRINT!

No Problem for me. I ordered mine yesterday afternoon and it was in my hands about 3 hours ago.

@sprinthater

verizon and sprint. two company offering same phone. one can deliver, the other cannot. Verizon sucks. Sprint ftw. case closed.

Keep on paying your overpriced BB plan with Verizon.

The Tour came out for Sprint (and Verizon) on Sunday, the 12th.
I ordered mine on Monday afternoon.
It arrived at the Sprint Store for pickup on Tuesday by 1:00 PM.

I had some major headaches getting it activated/registered with the Sprint network, but as far as actually getting my grubby mitts on one, it was easy and quick.

supply and demand smart a$$ sprint has a very high demand for the phone and for a short term the supply was not there, RIM made shipments problem solved. remember this was a phone that Sprint users found out they were getting early about a month ago, so they should be patient.

I was due on the 24th of this month for an early upgrade. But thanks to a great rep, the wait is over for me. They backdated it for me and I sure snatched one.
***on verizon***
Rumors have it that thay sold half a million units the very first 24 hours. That’s quite impressive!

I like this phone but my dog decided to take a dump on the keyboard so I need to get some keyboard safe clorox to clean it and then I will be happy to use it again. Might smell a little bit though. I hope that doesn’t ruin my chances with the ladies.
