BlackBerry Tour Specs: Out Now

Jun 5 2009, 3:05pm CDT | by Robert Evans

The new BlackBerry Tour 9630 smartphone won't be out until some time in July, but we've got details about this hot new mobile's specs right now. Boy Genius isn't telling how they got ahold of the info, but they've posted scans of a big 9630 product document up for all the world to see. Here are the crucial specs,

-256 MB Flash memory with microSD.

-1400 mAh rechargeable battery.

-Backlit QWERTY keyboard.

-480×360 HVGA screen.

-3.2 MP camera with flash and autofocus.

-GPS

-Bluetooth V2.0

-3.5mm headset jack.

The Tour looks pretty sweet, but then again it is a BlackBerry. The only real issue I have with the 9630 is its lack of WiFi and, of course, the fact that it doesn't have a touchscreen. Considering how stacked the Tour is, those are both fairly minor issues. The people BlackBerry made the Tour for don't really need either of those things, as long as they have a good 3G connection. The 9630 is a businessman's phone, and it looks perfect for that role.
