BlackBerry Tour 9630 Review (Verdict: Get a Bold)

BlackBerry lovers using CDMA networks have been jumping for joy since the BlackBerry (NSDQ: RIMM) Tour first peeped its head into the blogosphere as a concept sketch bearing the codename Niagara. Its development alongside the Bold lead to high hopes for a simultaneous release, but as is usually the case for CDMA BlackBerrys, many had to wait upwards of eight months after the belated AT&T (NYSE: T) Bold launch before the BlackBerry 9630 Tour came to market in the U.S. The Tour clearly borrows a lot from the Bold and Curve 8900, but introduces a few changes here and there to mix it up, like a one-sided external speaker and new battery door style, but overall it will be a familiar experience for those who have used a traditional BlackBerry.

The first OTA (over-the-air) music download service is about to hit the BlackBerry (NSDQ: RIMM) platform, and it’s going to hit in a big way. The Telegraph is reporting that, as expected, 7Digital is preparing to launch their BlackBerry music download service this September. Once live, 7Digital’s BlackBerry application (available soon in the BlackBerry App World) will connect push-emailing BlackBerry users with a 6+ million song library in the US, UK, Canada, France, Italy, Germany and Spain. Better yet, much of the music will be DRM-free and completely downloadable to a BlackBerry smartphone using a wireless data connection.

That’s right, earlier this afternoon, and ahead of the rumors, Bell launched the BlackBerry Tour 9630 ahead of rival Canadian CDMA carrier Telus (NYSE: TU). Last I checked, the Bell BlackBerry (NSDQ: RIMM) Tour 9630 is only available via the Bell website, but expect the device to start showing up in stores real soon (perhaps the July 17th launch rumor will reflect in-store availability?). In fact, Tours for all Bell locations have been ordered and are on the way.
