BlackBerry Tour 9630 Promo Materials Leak from Bell

By James on Jun 02, 2009 in Bell, BlackBerry, Canada, Rumors, Tour 9600 Series.

bell-tour1

Who’s excited for the BlackBerry 9630? Well if you are you might enjoy this. It appears that Bell is getting one step closer to a launch of the Tour 9630. New marketing materials have been leaked which show a bell branded BlackBerry Tour with a full spec list instead. We haven’t really learned anything new about the device and obviously Bell hasn’t given any real release dates. Bell won’t be the only ones jumping on the Tour, both Telus and Verizon will launch the 9630 within the next little bit.

With the leaking of this marketing material when do you think the 9630 will launch? June or July?

First hands-on of BlackBerry Onyx, the Unreleased Traditional 3G, Wi-Fi, 3.2MP BlackBerry

By James on May 24, 2009 in BlackBerry, Rumors, Tour 9600 Series.

lgonyx2

There you go! CrackBerry has just completed the first hands-on of the unreleased BlackBerry code-named Onyx. The Onyx has been talked about for a few months now. It’s NOT the touchscreen QWERTY BlackBerry, but rather a more traditional device featuring a 3G radio with Wi-Fi, GPS, and 3.2 megapixel camera. Its expected that this model may actually become part of the Tour family joining the CDMA 9630.

Here is a list of known features:

  • 3G device – GSM/GPRS/EDGE/UMTS (Bands: 850, 900, 1800, 1900)
  • 480 by 360 display, beveled edges
  • 256 megabytes of internal memory (same as Curve 8900, 8520)
  • 1550mAh M-S1 battery (same as Bold)
  • 3.2 megapixel camera, with flash and auto focus
  • GPS and Wi-Fi

At this time the processor speed isn’t exactly known but its expected to be a little faster than the Bold’s 624MHz one. No ETA as to when this device will be released, but stay tuned for more details coming within the next little bit.

Verizon’s upcoming BlackBerry Releases: Pearl Flip 8230, Tour 9630, Wi-Fi models and more…

By James on May 16, 2009 in BlackBerry, Pearl Flip 8200 Series, Rumors, Tour 9600 Series, USA, Verizon.

bgr-niagarareview2

BGR scored some great tips about upcoming launches on Verizon Wireless for BlackBerry devices. Apparently the Pearl Flip 8230 will be launching almost anytime (June at the latest) followed by the BlackBerry Tour 9630. The tipster also claims that (take a deep breath) Verizon will be launching another model to go along with the 9630 called Atlas, which will feature Wi-Fi. We aren’t too sure on that rumor yet but stay tuned. Apparently any BlackBerry models launched after the Tour (see Storm 2) will include Wi-Fi. The Storm 2, which has been floating around the internet will apparently feature Wi-Fi as well, plus some sort of new touch screen (most likely still with some clicking to it). Watch out for more details as they arrive…

BlackBerry Tour 9630 shows up in Verizon Inventory…

By James on May 15, 2009 in BlackBerry, Rumors, Tour 9600 Series, USA, Verizon.

blackberry-tour-verizon

Looks like Verizon will jump on board with Bell and TELUS with the inventory leaks. The BlackBerry Tour 9630 is now listed in Verizon’s inventory database as “BB9630TR” which means its just one step closer to release! Anyway that’s all that we know so far, but its certainly good news for Verizon customers who has been patiently waiting. Now sit back while we try and get some official launch dates on the go…

BlackBerry Tour 9630 shows up in Bell Inventory for $599

By James on May 12, 2009 in Bell, BlackBerry, Canada, Rumors, Tour 9600 Series.

bell-9630-inventory

Great news for Canadians waiting to get their hands on the BlackBerry Tour 9630. Visual confirmation that Bell will in fact be releasing the Tour 9630 has arrived. New screenshots of Bell’s inventory system shows the Tour 9630 including a possible no contract price of $599.95. Unfortuantly this still leaves no official release date for the device but with any luck we will see it launch within the next month or two. Keep checking for more updates when they arrive!

By James on May 07, 2009 in BlackBerry, Rumors, Tour 9600 Series, USA, Verizon.

Warning! Before reading this keep in mind that the dates may change. Boy Genius Report claims several ninjas have reported that Verizon will be launching the BlackBerry 9630 Tour during the week of July 13th. Now it hasn’t only been BGR to confirm this rumor but a well known ninja on HowardForums has also confirmed this date. So either way we know its coming to Verizon and its only a matter of time so please be patient.

Meanwhile if any ninjas out there could confirm some Canadian release dates for the 9630 that would be awesome!
