According to an article on fudzilla, people who are waiting to gain a BlackBerry Tour on Sprint are likely to experience yet another problem filled launch in the tradition of problem launches from Sprint.
Apparently although Sprint has stated they will launch the BlackBerry Tour 9630 beginning the 12th of July, sources have said that launch date is nothing more than a paper launch.
Sprint won?t allow pre-orders of the BlackBerry Tour until July 12th and then apparently customers receive a canned backorder notice from Sprint, and Sprint customer service is giving little or no information as to why the BlackBerry Tour 9630 order was placed on backorder status.
