same here

Wirelessly posted (storm 9530)

Nice find rudy...

I have to say though I'm a little worried now with the fact that there is a model without the camera. With my luck that's what telus will put up!

I wonder what the 256mb of memory means exactly? Are we looking at less then 20mb of app memory..

Still waiting for someone to donate a tour to me

C'mon I know someone really wants too :lmao:

I think with WireFly you can extend your 2yr contract for like $279.99 or somewhere round there. Check it out that may be your golden ticket

And IMO you're not missing much. As I said before if you hate the touchscreen of the Storm and need a physical keyboard then the Tour is the ticket. I got to play around with one the other day with an OS that is supposedly to be on the phone released on 7/12 and it pretty buggy. Not as bad as .65 but not perfect either.

I think the 256mb is the app/os memory. Storm has 126mb or something like that

True but the Tour does not have 1gb of on-board memory and you cannot save apps to the SD card.

I can't wait for RIM to get this feature so I can stop hearing people say that.

There is a 3rd party app called Azerie card reader but this feature should be standard on all BB's.

Oh, I didn't know that....I didn't read too much into specs, as I am sticking with my storm

That sucks though....and with storm, we can't use the 1gb for anything else, but pics/videos/music, etc... :banghead:

Wouldnt you be able to with the Azerie Card Load just like we can with the Storm? :dunno:

RIM just doesn't seem to want to offer the all in one solution. Don't worry Olta, S2 fixes most of it

Sure can. I am just saying you shouldn't have to pay for a 3rd party app for something that should come standard on every BB.
