Blackberry Tour

The Blackberry Tour, is coming to Verizon and Sprint on July 12. This newest phone from Blackberry is being touted as a "Premium Phone", with a full QWERTY keyboard, 480x360 screen, 256MB of storage, with an MicroSD/SDHC expansion slot, Bluetooth, Voice dialing and Noise cancellation. Rated at 5 hours of talk time, 3.2 MP camera with auto-focus and GPS-enabled geotagging and video support.

Unfortunately Verizon has messed up BIG time!!!!!!!
This amazing phone, cannot be Pre-ordered by existing customers under contract by Verizon. and worse, upgrades may be blocked even after the phones release.

On the pre-order page, Verizon notes that, "pre-orders are not available for upgrade orders at this time". So even if you are eligible to upgrade to every other phone Verizon offers, you will be blocked from the Tour. Unfortunately, Verizon customer service seems to have no idea why existing customers are not able to order this device. *point finger at Verizon, and shake head* Come on Verizon, your first (ok, maybe second) most possibly interesting phone, and existing customers can't even order it!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

For pictures, and more specs, head over to Verizon's product page.
