BlackBerry 9630 to launch as the "Tour"
Leaked handset gets new name
24 April 2009 17:32 GMT / By Amy-Mae Elliott
RIM's leaked BlackBerry 9630 smartphone is likely to be called the "Tour" when it supposedly launches in early summer, reports US blog Boy Genius Report.
In what's pretty much a two plus two equals five scenario, the news comes from a tipster, but is backed up by some decent logic.
Aside from the 9630's "World Edition" tag working with the "Tour" theme, www.blackberry9630.com and www.blackberrytour.com were both registered on the same day, and point to the same IP address.
Add into the mix the fact that we know rock band U2's "360 Degrees" concert tour is to be "Presented by BlackBerry", and RIM is working with U2 to create something, this handset - with possible U2-custom software - could well be it.
