My BlackBerry Tour 9630 review: The BlackBerry Tour 9630 is a perfect blend of the Bold & Storm handsets. It’s the newest member of RIM’s QWERTY, candybar-style smartphones. The size of the phone is small enough to hold in your hand comfortably, but large enough for a wonderful full QWERTY keyboard & large display screen. One of the biggest benefits to buying the Tour over similar handsets is that this one is a world phone – meaning it will work in most other countries, besides the US.

The BlackBerry Tour 9630 does have a couple problems. Probably the most noticeable one is the call quality. It’s just not that good. And, I don’t know if I would call this a “problem”, but this new handset doesn’t hardly offer any new features over the Curve it replaces (other than being a world phone). So, while I think the design is outstanding – the features don’t do a lot for me. If you’re a new BlackBerry user, the Tour 9630 is great. But, if you already own the Curve, you may just want to hold onto it to save yourself some money.
