BlackBerry Tour Shows Full Retail Price of $489
While most of the current pre-orders for the Tour on Verizon are limited to new customers and new lines only, Verizon will gladly let you order the Tour for the full retail price of $489.99 if you’re a current customer or not. Recent statements from Verizon representatives show that current customers will be able to pre-order their Tour within 48-72 hours as a “technical glitch” is preventing them from upgrading.
[Thanks, Brett!]
