Sprint confirms July 12 Launch of the 9630 Tour
Just a day later than Verizon announced it, Sprint now joins in to launch the 9630 BlackBerry Tour on July 12.

Sprint’s model will also offer world roaming capabilities with voice coverage in 185 countries and e-mail and Web browsing and nearly 150 countries. The carrier also touted easy access to social networking sites, such as Flickr, MySpace, and Facebook.
Similarly, Sprint’s Tour price is $199.99 with a two-year contract and $100 mail-in rebate.
