But what about the Tour?!

The Tour will not get this upgrade. I had the Tour and that pissed me off so much I refused to buy another Blackberry and switched to an Android phone.

[Beckster]

Boooooooo!

Boooooooo!

I know, BB had the entire smart phone market but let it slip away to iPhone and Droid. I wounder if it is too little too late?

Blackberry made a major fuck up as far as my clients are concerned. They were all told if they bought either a Bold or a Storm 2 that they were going to get Version 6. Now the Storm 2 users that bought their phones last month are pissed.
