The latest rumours surrounding the upcoming BlackBerry 9630, recently named the Tour, are pointing to a July release date on Verizon. Delays are bound to happen, so later July or even early August aren’t totally out of the question. The pricetag should be in the neighbourhood of $199 on a two-year contract, but hopefully we’ll hear something official next week from RIM at the Wireless Enterprise Symposium. Most folks are pretty excited about the Tour, as it seems to be combining some of the best parts of the BlackBerry 8900 Curve and BlackBerry 9000 Bold.
