RIM (Research In Motion) just released a new model the Blackberry Tour. Right now the Blackberry Tour is available online with Verizon and Sprint for $199 with a 2 year contract. Verizon already has the Tour available in the stores.

The key features compared to some other Blackberries are:

• World Phone Capabilities
• Enhanced Multimedia
• 3.2MP Camera
• GPS and Blackberry Maps
• Slimmer 14.2 mm profile
• 256 MB built -in memory
• Voice Input & Output
• more

All in all the device feels good your hands and I love the keyboard with the trackball. But the features and specifications is what you would expect from any other phone these days. 

What I do miss is the Wifi capabilities. A lot of 3G enabled phones these days do come without Wifi. If you would live in a world where 3G is continuously available it would make sense, but that is still not the case. That is why I still prefer to have Wifi on board.

For current Blackberry users this will be an improvement and a good upgrade if you like the non-touch screen and QWERTY keyboard.
