Verizon confirms: BlackBerry Tour will be out on July 12 for $200

A few days ago, we’ve heard a rumor saying that Verizon might launch the BlackBerry Tour 9630 on July 12, for $199.99 on contract.

Well, now the largest North American carrier has confirmed that the new RIM smartphone will indeed be available starting July 12.

Customers can already pre-order the handset, through Verizon’s website.

Interestingly, Verizon will offer two versions of the Tour: a regular one, and a camera-free one – for those who work in institutions where camera phones are banned.

Sprint will launch the BlackBerry Tour for $199 as well, but an exact date for this is currently not known.

Bell Canada will also offer the Tour, sometime after July 15.
