Okay, scratch that July 20th. stuff – the officially official launch date for Sprint’s BlackBerry Tour is July 12th., and will cost you $199 on contract and after rebates. We had heard similar pricing and date for Verizon (and presumably Alltel), if Sprint doesn’t really do it for you. Of course, Bell and Telus are also hosting the BlackBerry 9630 if you happen to be north of the border. If you still think you’ll need a reminder when the Tour’s ready roll, be sure to sign up for e-mail updates from Sprint.
