Can I use "phone as a modem" on a new Tour?

I have a great plan with Sprint that allows phone as a modem, unlimited data/text, 1000 anytime minutes. Will the Blackberry Tour be able to sync up to my PC laptop using BlueTooth and Phone as a Modem on the Blackberry?

Currently I have an HTC Touch, I open up the Comm Manager, touch Bluetooth, touch Internet Sharing and I am logged on to the Internet with my Lenovo Laptop. Not the fastest connection(2mb) but I don't need speed, just to be able to use my phone as a modem.

Opinions Needed

I'm eligible for my Annual upgrade with verizon and need some help deciding on a new PDA. I currently have the Storm but i would like an actual keyboard now. So i like the tour. I was also looking at the HTC Touch Pro. Any thoughts on what to go with?

autosignature on the tour

Help! How can I include an autosignature on email on the Tour (and remove the signature item - this was sent from my verizon blackberry). I previous had the 8830 and was able to perform this thru e-mail settings.

Any ideas?

Undecided . . .

Okay, I went to play with the Tour last night at the local Sprint retail store and absolutely loved it . . .I am just torn at the thought of upgrading from my Curve. I have had the Curve for a year, and it's a really good phone so I'm just wondering if the upgrade is really worth it . . .can someone help me with this one? Just give me some thoughts on upgrading from the Curve to the Tour.

opera lite as a browser?

Hello,
Just curious if anyone has installed opera as their web browser. Just wanted to know if there is any benefit in doing so. Thank you

Platform OS

I bought a Palm Treo before off ebay (was junk-unusable)and discovered that you could only text someone with the same platform. At least that's what a tutorial said. So before I get the Tour can someone tell me if this is able to text regular non Smartphones?

Trackball Cleaning or Replacing = Take Tour Completely Apart

Wait until your Tour's trackball gets clogged with gunk - it won't take long. The trackball on this model is NOT accessible from the front by merely popping off a chrome trim ring like you can with the Curve and Pearl. The Tour must be completely disassembled and the trackball assembly is then accessed from behind.

I remember the days when I had a mouse with a ball that had to be removed and cleaned every month or two. That eventually got replaced with optical tech. Blackberry is already planning on dumping the mechanical trackball in favor of an optical trackball (touch pad). I think I'll skip this phone (and all tough-to-service) Blackberry mechanical trackball devices.

Got mine on SPRINT!!

Signal is great! Software is smooth! Sprint TV is crystal clear!! I'm impressed. Camera is good but not what I expected out of a 3.2.

Save or splurge?

I work as a paralegal. My upgrade is due in November, and I can't decide whether I should get the Blacberry Curve, because it's already cheap and may even be free by then, or if I should spend the money and get the Tour. As near as I can tell, the Curve will pretty much do everything I need it to, but the Tour looks pretty freakin awesome.

Also, I'm on Sprint and currently have an Instinct. I will miss Live Search ☹️ whoever came up with that is a friggin genius

Blackberry Manager 5.0 and the Verizon Tour

I have not been able to install the new manager even with the help of VZ techs and BB techs. It is the last part that has a problem. When attempting to sychronize with the BB site, it will not work. It just states "retry" which has failed each time. If anyone has a solution, let me know.

Buy the Tour or wait?

I heard there was another STORM coming out soon so I am wondering if I should buy the TOUR now or wait!

I have a blackberry curve and the TOUR looks amazing compared to the curve. Much more stylish and more "up to date" looking.

Blackberry messeger 5.0

Have you tried the new BB Messenger it is awesome. It is available OTA at this link

http://smartphonenation.com/2009/07/download-the-new ... »

I have been playing around with it for about 3 hours so far so good extremely impressed. My only wish now is that BB would let the form of threaded messages become the standard for the text messages also.

Operating system update

I've been eyeing the Tour, and from what I've read, the OS is a bit dated. I've never had a BlackBerry, so I was wondering ... is that something that can be updated? If they release an updated OS, can you install that or is it only for new phones?
