The BlackBerry Tour is by far the best CDMA BlackBerry yet. It has style, power, and sophistication. But one glaring omission — WiFi — fails to earn it a “buy” rating in my book. Remember, no matter how good your carrier, there will always be dead spots. The Tour 2/Essex/9650 is no secret. It’s been rumored about and talked about for many months.

If you thought you had seen confusion and the highest amount of confusion spewed forth, boy are you in for a treat. It will inevitably happen though.

The telephone used to be an amazing wonderment of scientific engineering. Now it’s nothing special. Much the same, email was at one point the pinnacle of technological achievement.
