I upgraded to the Verizon Tour last week. I bought the BlackBerry Storm back in April and hated it. It's a good phone in theory and the OS is good, but it wasn't mature yet. But the Tour is a different case completely. Pros - The best screen on a phone I've seen - Excellent design - Keys seem are not too large or small, perfect for texting -- narrower than the Bold - Fast processor - Loud volume (speaker and headset) - Good call quality Cons: - No Wi-Fi -- biggest drawback - Dirt and dust gets into the cracks between the keys that can be easily seen when the keys are backlit - MicroUSB port is on the "wrong" side -- I prefer the left side - Battery life is nice but short with heavy multimedia use - Loose battery door Overall, the Tour is a great phone.
