Alltel has recently announced the availability of the BlackBerry Tour to its customers. The phone is available immediately in Alltel stores and online for $199 on a 1-year contract after a $100 mail-in rebate along with a Smart Choice plan, from $69.99 upwards.
At this point, I bet many of you are more interested in Storm 2, aren't you?
This is just a rumor, but according to BGR the next OS release for Verizon’s BlackBerry Tour will be OS 4.7.1.42. Apparently the new build will resolve some performance issues and will address bugs, but that's all we know about it.
RIM has officially released OS 4.7.0.167 for the BlackBerry Storm 9500 series. If you’re willing, you can get this latest build from BlackBerry.com (Taiwan Mobile BlackBerry Site), but be sure to backup your data before proceeding.
Best Buy Mobile will start selling a slew of new handsets for each taste on August 23rd. Here's a list of devices and their carriers posted on BGR site:
According to the recent report at BerryReview, Vodafone UK will soon be getting the BlackBerry 8520 Curve. The price for the phone is set at £165, which boils down to free after plans are taken into account. The same tipster also confirmed the upcoming October launch of the Storm 2 on Vodafone, and that the carrier has dropped the prices on the original Storm (from £400 to £387), and the Bold (from £407 to £380).
According to the recent report by The BlackBerry Zone, the upcoming BlackBerry 9550 Storm 2 is set to launch on Vodafone UK in October, while a Verizon release is scheduled for November. Sounds reasonable, since the holiday season is a perfect time to launch a new and already popular handset.
