It seems that the BlackBerry Tour 9630, a handset that has been spotted in the wild for a few months now, and which has already been presented in detail, is getting ready to make its debut on the market. More than that, it looks like it won't hit the airwaves of a single carrier upon launch, as it has been recently spotted on the websites of at least three carriers, namely Sprint, Verizon and Telus.

Starting with Telus, it seems that the device was seen on the carrier's site recently, which means that the wireless operator might get ready for the release of the BlackBerry Tour 9630 in the near future. According to the news, that may happen as soon as June 22, yet no official word in this regard has been dropped so far. The only thing that points towards a near launch is the image that surfaced on the site.

Verizon, another carrier expected to release the BlackBerry Tour on its airwaves, already has a page where it informs that the handset will come soon. Moreover, apparently, those who sign up for newsletters will also be able to pre-order the phone, yet no details on the release date can be spotted on the page either, though some reports point towards a July 15 launch.

Wireless carrier Sprint also went live with a sign-up page for those who would like to receive newsletters when the Tour will become available for purchase with the carrier. Those who want to purchase the device and use it on Sprint's network should go here to sign up for the availability announcements. According to the news, Sprint might launch the handset in late summer.

For what it's worth, it seems that the BlackBerry Tour 9630 should see a lot of traction on the market, especially since it is touted as “the fastest Sprint BlackBerry device ever.” The device comes with video streaming capabilities, music download features, 3G speeds, and more, while also being a world phone.
