My iPhone contract is up and I want to go back to Verizon. My wife is on Verizon and is eligible an upgrade. We both want to go to the Tour 2. When might it be coming out. I heard before Christmas, but at this late date, it doesn't look like it.
Any thoughts or info from anyone??
Thanks.

Several threads on this. Look for QT 1 or QT 2 of 2010. I could see May because that would be the 10 month mark as to when the Tour 1 was released. Another issue is the Tour 1 inventory. The 8530 is out. I know the reviews were mixed but I was impressed since it has wifi.

It's a big guessing game right now. But, several 9650's have been appearing on the internet and ebay. Also, the Tour is being sold on some sites for $29.99. Could they be trying to empty their inventory? Shop Crackberry

They are predicting that the Tour2 9650 should be launching early next year...

I can upgrade my Tour in May. I am not sure if I will grab the 9650 or wait to see what will be out for holidays 2010

I think it's safe to say that the 9650 will be out early 2010. Verizon Branded BlackBerry Tour2 9650 (essex) Poses for the Camera | CrackBerry.com
