BlackBerry Tour Initial Usage Impressions & OS 4.7.1 Preview
It's one thing to bring you a hands-on hardware review of a device that's not powered up but it's a whole other (and much better) thing to relay some thoughts and opinions and screen captures and video after having some real hands-on usage.
The Tour's hardware itself had me impressed. Actually putting it to use pretty much has me tickled pink (or is it tickled black...berry?). The keyboard is awesome, the display is looking good, and the form factor is a good fit - both in the hand and to carry around for everyday use.
The 9630's version 4.7.1 device software is also interesting. Just like the 9630's hardware is a blend of BlackBerry Bold, Curve 8900 and Storm, the 9630's operating system gives off the impression of being a hybrid of 4.6 found on the Bold and 8900 and 4.7 found on the Storm. The 9630 obviously is not a touch screen device, though many of the underpinnings of the Storm's 4.7 OS are there, while the native Precision Zen theme is straight out of 4.6. It also appears there's even some all new stuff included in 4.7.1 - unless my memory is really bad, I don't recall ever seeing Memory Statistics as a menu option within the Media Player before. The short video below takes a quick look at the 9630 and some of 4.7.1's features.
It should be noted too that 4.7.1 on the 9630 looks pretty much identical to what I have glimpsed so far in terms of OS 5.0 on the Bold and Curve 8900. So if you read through this and wish your current BlackBerry's OS looked more like 4.7.1, don't worry... it likely will sooner than later. In fact, depending on when the 9630 gets released, I wouldn't be surprised to see it labeled with OS 5.0 instead of 4.7.1. I'm sure we'll see some Bold / Curve 8900 5.0 screencaps emerge soon that will show that 4.7.1 and 5.0 on these latest generation BlackBerry models are basically one and the same.
