Probably won't overheat either. Not to mention being on a superior provider. I smell a real winner here.

plus u can multitask on the phone. Unlike the iPhone u for IM Apps you need to keep them open and it can't run on the background or any other apps can't run on the background.

They will have two versions. One with and one without a camera.

Go here and watch the video and it highlights the camera capabilities.

Actually that makes a lot of sense. A lot of places (Governmnt especially) will not let you bring a phone in that has a camera if sensitive information around.

Since Blackberries and to some degree WinMo phones are preferred in a business environment it makes sense to make two versions.

The device looks good in pictures and specifications are good. Will wait till it is in stores so I can play with it first before deciding whether or not to buy it.

This is the Storm with a keyboard, a little more memory, and a similar OS. The insides are basically the storm.

The Bold was an oddity of sorts. AT&T asked RIM to make it and to date it (or the guts of it) haven't made it into any other phone. It's larger.

The 8900 is marketed for the masses

The Bold is sold all over the word where Blackberry is available, its hardly an oddity and AT&T as well as other global carriers may have asked for something like the Bold, it wasn't designed with just AT&T in mind.

Strip the touchscreen out of the Storm and replace it with a keyboard and trackball and you have the Tour...same world frequencies, same processor, and a slight upgrade in memory. Same guts!

The OS is more Storm like with it's menu structure than Bold or Curve although there aren't huge differences between any of the 4.5, 4.6 and 4.7 OS's.
