The BlackBerry Tour headed to Verizon will also be coming to the Great White North, according to internal sales info at Telus. Given, the SKU is just for a 9630 case, it’s probably safe to assume the phone will be showing up shortly thereafter. Will Canada’s other CDMA carrier, Bell, be picking it up as well? Most likely, considering the two service providers has had a simultaneous launch of every BlackBerry within recent memory. Hopefully we’ll get our mitts on the Niagara Tour at WES next week…
