Sprint has been very good lately with their phone selection, and their line of Blackberrys is no exception. The Tour is the premier business phone for Sprint, and after using it it's obvious why. Holding the device, it's not too heavy and is very balanced. The keyboard is great on the phone, with sloped buttons for a better surface, and good tactile feel. The lock and mute buttons on the top of the device are great to use, but sometimes have a little lag in performing their function and aren't the most tactile and easy to press. The screen on the Tour is very clear and easy to read even on a low brightness setting. The trackball works good, and since it is a darker color, I wouldn't be afraid of it turning yellow over time. Email works great like on any other Blackberry, and messaging is also good. You can use Blackberry messenger to instant message any of your friends with a Blackberry, also. The browser is one of the weaker points of the phone, though. You can use the trackball to navigate a mouse, but it's a bit clunky and slow compared to Android, iPhone, and Web OS. Overall, the Tour is an amazing phone if you don't need to use it for a high functioned web browser.
