RIM BlackBerry Tour 9630 (VZW) Shipping July 12 San Francisco Chronicle
The much-anticipated Tour will also be available with a 3.2 megapixel camera, and it's slated for release on Sunday, July 12. The Tour is currently listed for pre-order on Verizon's website for $199.99 with new two-year service agreement and following a $70 "online discount." Sprint is expected to release its own version of the Tour in the near future, and it will also presumably be available with or without a digital camera.
The camera-less version of the Tour is significant because many organizations--government agencies, medical institutions, etc.--ban cameras from certain premises and locations, so folks with camera-equipped handhelds are forced to check them at the door.
RIM hasn't released a camera-less version of brand new BlackBerry in years, since it first introduced the BlackBerry 88xx series--unless you count the camera-less version of the BlackBerry Bold that was eventually recalled overseas. Sprint launched the BlackBerry Curve 8350i sans camera back in April, but the device is really just a revamped Curve 83xx, which has been around for almost as long as the 88xx.
