On the heels of BlackBerry Tour 9630 dummy devices and promo materials arriving at Bell, some Verizon (NYSE: VZ) BlackBerry (NSDQ: RIMM) Tour news has dropped. BGR is reporting that the Verizon BlackBerry Tour 9630 will be available online and in stores July 12th. Look for it for $199 on the standard two-year contract.
You can sign up for email updates via the BlackBerry Tour minisite at Verizon… But at the moment you’ll notice some wrinkles need to be smoothed out. You’ll notice in the screenshot above some funky image sizing and placement… I trust Verizon has a designer and/or developer on the case at the moment… It is a little late. Perhaps they were havin’ a few late night beers when they put the site up?

FYI, Right now you can only get the phone ONLINE and if you sign up for a new number or switch from a new plan. They aren’t transfering over old account numbers. I was on the phone for 2 hours with Verizon this morning trying to figure out why I couldn’t get the phone with my new every two plan and switch over my number and they don’t know why. If it’s just a website glitch it should be fixed by the end of the day. Otherwise be prepared to switch your phone number.
