I was so tired of windows mobile. Ended up getting it from a local sprint store because a connect I had at best buy (nyc area) that said they won't be getting the sprint tour's until further notice. Only the LI/NJ best buy's received them for now.

The phone is

. I love the fact that it comes unlocked so I can put in any sim card and it works seamlessly. The keyboard works great. I had no issues with the "screen ripple." My battery door is slightly loose but not a deal breaker. All in all, I am VERY happy with my purchase of the tour. Certified crackberry addict now.

they just closed sprintgurus.com for some reason, and i forgot to get the add on codes for the free BIS service added on to your sero plan, anyone got thecodes for the BIS service, Picture mail, and $7.50 unlimited text?

This may change my mind..

Free BIS - PDSBUNL0

7.50 text - SMS750UR1

Picture mail - PICPACK0

Remember to ask to switch over to sero voice only first and then have your rep try to add the codes in. I'm not entirely sure on the $7.50 code but my repwas able to find the add-on in the system before I even mentioned it. Good luck!

Memphis- Just get the phone at a "ready now" sprint store. Process would be so much smoother than getting it from BBY. Only trade off is the rebatewhich isn't that
bad of a wait. I dont think I can go back to the touch pro or any windows mobile phone after owning a blackberry. Let me not hype it up too much, just get it!

EDIT: Got my tour tethered to my mac. no need for tetherberry or any program for that matter

 

[nyczill3st]

good looks, sero ftw

 

[flatbushfiyah23]

Quick question: Did the final version of the new BBM come out yet or is still just a Beta release?!

Its actually pretty easy. The Bold is real easy to take apart with only like 6 screws. But it voids warranty. U can get the bezels, housings, keyboard at sitessuch as:
- cnn.cn
- truesupplier.com

Very Cheap.

 

[kickaddicted]

Yep. Changing housing is cheap and easy. I got my new housing off of a seller off of amazon. Just two things of advice: make sure the tools are includedwherever you buy from & if you have a older phone (I've had mines for a year) just buy a new keypad/keyboard too. My keyboard had separated on theinside so when I popped the faceplate off, keyboard buttons fell everywhere.


& does anybody have idea on whats the new/next 3G BB to hit AT&T?
