The BB Tour 9630 offers world-roaming capabilities as well as Bluetooth, GPS, and a 3.2-megapixel camera. The smartphone offers a great design that combines a sharp display and an easy to use keyboard, in a fairly small size. It lacks Wi-Fi. The Web browser falls short of the competition, and there's a bit of shutter lag on the camera. You can't save applications to a media card either.
This phone is absolutely amazing. The phone is very easy to operate while still up to date on technology. The battery life on this phone is beyond amazing. I used my phone as one would normally (texting and calling throughout the day) and the battery life didn't diminish like it does with new phones. I charged my phone once and after 3 days, it was still at 80%. Absolutely amazing. The phone is usually marketed as a business-type phone and it's easy to understand why. Reading and writing emails is easily accessible. Call quality is extremely clear and texting on the phone is made easy by the full keyboard. I love this phone more than any other phone I've ever had. They are definitely worth their money value.
Works great, but the GPS feature is NOT there even though that is what this phone is known for. Not sure why, but that is why the rating is not perfect. I like these phones because they are so durable. I bought a touch screen smart phone and 2 months later it does not work (I am rough on phones), but these take a licking and keep on ticking.........
This is a great Blackberry device for the Verizon network. Keyboard is easy to use, after you've gotten used to it - especially if you were a touch screen user. Blackberry App world could be better and easier to use but it still offers some nice applications. The Bold 9630 would have to be one of the more higher end Blackberry devices you can get. Nice speeds and little to none freeze ups. If you're looking for a business email phone this would be a very good choice. Emails are received very quickly - sometimes faster than on my computer
I was using an old blackberry and decided to stay. Contenders were Iphone, 32G, and Droit phone. They were too expensive compared to this 9630 at $130.00 unblocked. I stayed with Tmobile and my sim card worked fine. I had to call a few too many times to Tmobile who finally got my Tour 9630 to work smoothly with their system. That was quite a challenge but the phone well worthed. Then I heard that the rolling ball, which I love, does not work after a while and that is the reason I changed by old blackberry for this one, so I had to debate if I should keep it or return it. I decided to keep it since the phone is awesome. Slow on the internet but effective on making calls, texting, calendar, and contacts retreival and my emails comes in clear and clean. The screen clarity is awsome and the phone is light and efficient. Bottom line. I love my new Tour 9630.Read full review
