Rejoice! BlackBerry support arrives on Celio REDFLY
Posted on November 3, 2009 | No CommentsFiled under: Peripherals, RIM, BlackBerry OS
We heard it'd be here in mid-Q4, and sure enough, it's here. And by "it," we mean "BlackBerry support for Celio's largely unwanted REDFLY Mobile Companion." Starting today, those looking for the Foleo's long lost cousin can snap up a REDFLY and download a free driver that adds compatibility for RIM's BlackBerry Bold 9000, Curve 8900 and Tour 9630. Granted, it's not like the BlackBerry web browser will be any less painful to use on an enlarged screen, but hey, whatever suits your fancy.

BlackBerry Tour coming to US Cellular
Posted on October 12, 2009 | No CommentsFiled under: Handsets, RIM, GSM, EDGE, EV-DO, HSDPA, UMTS, CDMA, US Cellular
A spec page unearthed on the carrier's website (complete with an image of a branded handset) tells us that US Cellular is going to end up carrying the BlackBerry Tour at some point, following Sprint's and Verizon's leads down the path of BES-compatible global roaming QWERTY joy. That's cool, but we don't have an inkling of a date or a price -- and with trackball-gate still fresh in Tour users' minds, it'll be hitting shelves with a bit of an image to overcome; then again, the alternatives are the ancient 8330 and 8830, so let's be honest -- it'll probably do alright for itself.

Apparently Sprint and Verizon have refuted the BlackBerry Tour high return rate claim
Posted on September 18, 2009 | No CommentsThe story goes like this: A TownHall Investment Research director was quoted by Barron’s as saying that Sprint is seeing almost a 50% return rate on the BlackBerry Tour primarily because of trackball issues. We ran a simple poll where 36% of participants said they have returned a BlackBerry Tour because of trackball problems and [...] -
Video: A good BlackBerry Tour trackball vs bad trackball
Posted on September 17, 2009 | No Comments
Almost 40% of the BlackBerry Tour users who participated in our quick poll voted that they have returned a BlackBerry Tour because of trackball problems. That's a clear indication of a problem. The dude in this video is on his sixth BlackBerry Tour and shows the difference between the two.

Have you returned your BlackBerry Tour like you just don’t care?
Posted on September 17, 2009 | No CommentsThe BlackBerry Tour is apparently being returned in droves. It seems that the trackball is easily mucked up, which requires constant cleaning and sometimes just outright fails. RIM’s recommendation is to clean the trackball with compressed air. Serious. Barron’s quotes a TownHall Investment Research director as saying that Sprint’s return rate on the Tour has [...] -
Sprint now offering a cameraless Blackberry Tour
Posted on September 14, 2009 | No Comments
File this one under: What took so long? Sprint is finally offereing the Blackberry Tour without a camera. Why you ask? Well, some jobs do not allow cameras in the workplaces and so employees need such a phone. The cameraless option carries the same price of $199 with a 2-year agreement. It's just strange that it took Sprint so long to offer this model as Verizon's had both options available since launch.

VZW now pushing Slacker Radio to the BlackBerry Tour
Posted on July 28, 2009 | No Comments
Last week Verzion pushed Slacker Radio onto the BlackBerry Storm. This time around, the BlackBerry Tour is getting the same treatment. Why you ask? Well, Slacker Radio has put a little icon within the app that links available songs to the VZW V-Cast music store. So when a tune plays through Slacker Radio, customers will be able to purchase the song right there.

Oops! Customer orders BlackBerry Tour from Sprint, gets a Verizon Tour instead
Posted on July 20, 2009 | No Comments
When the UPS man dropped off Crackberry user Kurpaige's brand new Tour from Sprint, it was a matter of seconds before the gadget was in hand. The shipping box was torn to shreds, now little more than a pile of tape and corrugated cardboard. The paper packaging was thrown aside, and the Sprint-branded box delicately dismantled. There it was, in all of its glory: a Verizon-brand BlackBerry Tour. Wait, what?
