A Wi-Fi-supporting model of the BlackBerry Tour on Sprint is something we’ve heard about straight from the horse’s mouth, but according to the same reliable source who gave us a look under the Storm 2’s screen, the next Tour will be making use of that optical trackpad that has been getting packed into all the latest devices from RIM. We had heard that the codename Atlas was being used internally, but apparently the new Wi-Fi Tour will be called the Essex when it eventually hits stores sometime in 2010. Unfortunately, we don’t have any pictures of documents to back the claim, so take it all with due skepticism.
