The BlackBerry Tour 9630 went all official yesterday, so it’s to be expected we start seeing carrier branded devices popping up. Telus’ is the only other Tour we’ve witnessed in the plastic, but we should be seeing evidence of Bell and Sprint’s devices in short order. If you’re already on a GSM carrier, the Tour won’t seem like that big of a deal (especially considering its lack of Wi-Fi), but if you’re locked into CDMA, or happily married to it by choice, the 9630 is the first “real” BlackBerry in a long time.
