It is looking like The Blackberry Tour will be coming out in July. This obviously could change at any time. I certainly hope it changes to a much sooner date, but I’m not going to hold my breath. I hope the wait is worth it. It’s killing me not having a Blackberry. Tags: Blackberry, Cellphone, [...]
