Decent enough review, but I wish you would have elaborated just a bit more with the SIM card area. See, for those of you who don't know Telus has a SIM card they're pushing but it's for their new network, and it will NOT work in this PDA/SmartPhone. And while Telus sells this PDA/SmartPhone, they don't seem to have a SIM card that they sell for it. If you're traveling outside North America, you just have to pick one up outside. They don't tell you that; very poor documentation on their part.
Hey man great review. Now i know that alot of americans have been having issues with there verison trackballs (not being able to scroll left/right). Is this an issue on the CDMA tours (ill just pretend I didnt hear your opening statement).
Had this phone for a few days now (on Telus)...absolutely love it! Gets better everyday.
If you're thinking about getting it, don't hesitate. If you want to play around with one, go to Best Buy, they'll actually open up a box and set it up for you to check out(their new policy). I only mention this because Telus won't actually let you play around with one that had a battery unless you're dead set on buying one.
re: Telus not letting you try one out <---NOT TRUE
TELUS DOES LET YOU TEST PHONES. I was at a Telus store this weekend and I was deciding between the Curve & the Tour. They let me try BOTH -- opened up new boxes, popped in batteries, let me try the different features/etc. jsyk ;)
Yup, for sure. Today's the day. I have to pick! I think I might go with the bold, just because it does have wifi. And apparently the txt msg function on this phone sucks?! I dunno. I'm going to test both phones out today when I'm at the store. I'll let you know which one I come home with haha!
Ok, so I came home with the Bold! I'm not very "techy" but apparently it's the "better phone". I can't believe I have a blackberry now, I'm pretty stoked haha. My plan, hm. Well I pay about $52 a month, I have the "my top 5" thing. I have unimited call and txt for those five. An about 250 minutes a day, but it's free on weekends/after 9. I don't really know if its a good plan, I kind of zoned out. I just wanted the phone haha. 250 minutes doesn't seem that much.
Thanks so much! You go the bold with Rogers? 250 minutes =4.166666666666667 Hours. I like that plan I just wouldn't like the my 5 because I call my house alot but I don't text that. What happens if you text outside of the my 5?
Yup, with rogers. Just make sure one of them is your mom/dad/house phone. Yeah, that's the thing! I have no idea. I'll call them either tomorrow and ask. The reason why I got this plan is b/c its pretty cheap. I have so many things to save up for too, so it helps. But definitely going to ask about that.
this guy sounds like Bryan Colangelo, lmao.

@Rated111E You can use a SIM card while in Canada or the states, I have a Verizon wireless Tour that I use on T-Mobile.

I agree with that, Telus does let you try the phone, they actually opened quite a few boxes for me to try them.
