Waterloo, Ontario-based RIM said Sprint's version of the Tour will also be a "world phone," offering world-roaming capabilities to easily access voice and data services overseas.

The handset will also come with multimedia options such as an enhanced media player with 256MB built-in memory, Sprint's Music and TV service, a 3.2-megapixel camera with geo-tagging and video recording and easy access to social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter.

It will also provide push-based email, built-in GPS with Sprint Navigator for driving directions and high-speed Web browsing.
