Blackberry phones are fantastic on the average, but they’re also a little singleminded. Basically, if you’re not planning to use a Blackberry for business then you’re largely out of luck. Blackberry phones don’t seem to do too well with things like games, video and music, though some do better than others. And the Blackberry Tour is pretty much what you’d expect out of a Blackberry.
The Blackberry Tour is a 3G phone with three megapixel camera, two hundred fifty six megs of onboard memory, enhanced media player, built in GPS, the exclusive BlackBerry Maps, organizer, web browser, a battery with five hours of talk time, a front trackball, a set of dedicated keys, and Bluetooth connectivity.
On a functional level, the Blackberry Tour works all right, even if that trackball is entirely too sensitive for its own good. It doesn’t offer a lot of fun, which is odd in a cell phone these days, but all right. There’s a lot to like about this, but only under specific circumstances.
The Good
Highly functional
Good quality components
The Bad
All business
Oversensitive trackball
Score 6/10
