I had the Blackberry Tour for 2 weeks. It's a pile of shit. Don't waste your money on it. It's slow, doesn't go more than 10 hours without charging it, and the ball sticks.

I think you are the first person I've ever heard complain about a Blackberry being slow...but I also don't know anyone using the tour.

My 8330 battery lasts twice as long as my wifes HTC or my work MotoQ 9M. I've owned/used at least 10 different phones from Palm to HTC to Blackberry. The only one I ever see myself buying again is Blackberry.

One of my good friends got the Tour like right when it came out and has been nothing but fast and reliable.

Flip/slide phones are just waiting to wear out or fail. I'd get a non-slide/flip type phone.

I've used my wife's blackberry a bit, it's simple to use and seems to be very stable and quick. I had an older Palm with the Palm OS on it, that was great as well. I have a new Palm with windows OS now, I'd avoid windows OS if you can.

Windows Mobile is a big pile. It's great at first, but you have to keep doing hard resets to keep it running smoothly.

Joe reset your phone by removing the battery, also hold down the ALT key and press LGLG when the next screen comes up press your menu button and then select clear. Also you should do a memory clean just go to your security options and select memory clean it doesn't erase anything you would want to keep just unneeded shit.

RidinRails

i have the blackberry tour as well and its faster than any other phone i've had.

I would suggest it.

DelSlow

no no no John. Listen to Link. He's always right.

I would HIGHLY recommend the blackberry tour. its an awesome phone with a truley awesome camera on it. once you browse the internet on that it makes almost all other smart phones look like shit

If your a n00b. Propery matience just like a computer keeps them running fine.

HTC Touch Pro 2, is by far the best choice right now.

There's so much more that you can do with a Windows Mobile phone...

Where did I say I was right? I voiced my opinion on the smart phone I have used.

I will give it that.. the camera was amazing. Very good quality of pictures. Browsing the internet was good too.

The issue's I had with my tour were this. Everytime I'd go and try to open my inbox for email or text's or anything, it took a few seconds to even move to the icon, then another few seconds to open it. Happened for damn near everything I tried to do. Oh, and not to mention the battery life is complete garbage. I had it sitting on my desk from 8am - 5pm (didn't use it once) and it was dead on my way home from work.

If you can live with that, the phone is great.

when i first got my curve it did that also when ever i would get some texts in my inbox. but if you go through and get rid of all the pontless programs that arent needed ( chinese os, german os, a bucnh of that stuff) it goes waaay faster. ive never had an issue after that.

what did you do with your tour??

I wiped it clean. Had the bare minimum on it. I could have had a melon too, who knows.

I got mine the day the verizon stores got them in with my 2 year upgrade, so i had 30 days to bring it back.

So, I returned it, got $150 refunded, and walked out with the LG Env 3.

Decided I didn't really need a smart phone (why pay $40 a month) when I'm at a PC (or close to one) 12 hours a day.

Raider

I was looking at just getting the Env3 also instead of some type of a smart phn

Only time I've ever had my Curve 8330 slow down on me was when it was DL'ing some software upgrade....happened quite a bit the first 2 weeks I owned it, but after that it was great.

Couldn't agree more. I just hard reset my phone for the first time after roughly 2 years the other day because something weird happened. Love my Treo700wx, even tho it is a little old and a little slow with WM6.1, but just love how it works.

Windows>Blackberry.
