Blackberry Tour 9630 without Camera
By Ruben Corbo on March 2nd, 2010
The design of the BlackBerry Tour 9630 smartphone is a lot like that of the Bold and the Curve; RIM has taken some of the best design traits of both phones and put them together in the Tour. Even though the Tour does have many of the traits of the Bold and Curve, it is slightly bigger than both of these phones, plus it weighs a little more. The BlackBerry Tour measures 4.4 x 2.4 x 0.6 inches and weighs 4.5 ounces. The Tour definitely feels solid when holding it in your hand, plus it has a soft rubber finish that will help you get even more durability.
For sending text messages and email there is a QWERTY keyboard that is much like that you get with the Bold, though it is a little more cramped. The keys have a slightly rounded edge, and they are backlit.
One of the main attractions of the BlackBerry Tour 9630 without camera is that you get 3G, and voice coverage in over 200 countries, as well as data coverage in 175 countries. This is exactly what the international traveler needs, especially if they have to travel often for business.
Some of the other features you’ll find with the BlackBerry Tour include a speakerphone, voice activated dialing, text, as well as multimedia messaging, plus there is also conference calling and speed dial. It’s easy to know who is calling you with this phone’s Caller ID features; simply attach a photo to each contact and with a quick glance you’ll easily be able to see who is calling.
Unfortunately the BlackBerry Tour doesn’t offer WiFi, but you do get 3G and Bluetooth, as well as wireless networking; this means that you can use this phone for a modem. In addition to this, you will also get built in GPS so no matter where you are you shouldn’t have a problem finding your way around; this is an important feature if you travel a great deal.
Of course one of the premier features of the BlackBerry Tour 9630 without camera is its email capabilities; you’ll get several email accounts, plus a document viewer so that you can view email attachments.
If you can due without WiFi, the BlackBerry Tour 9630 smartphone is a great choice.
