Coming to Altell as well

As it turns out, BlackBerry Tour 9630 will become available on the market through a wide rage of mobile phone carriers before the end of this month. Shortly after Research In Motion announced the device officially, we learned that it would come to Telus, Verizon and Sprint, and, while news pointed recently towards Bell as another carrier to have it, we hear today that Altell will introduce the phone on its airwaves as well.

Nothing official at the moment, as you might have figured it out already, and no details on when the BlackBerry Tour 9630 will hit the carrier, yet things seem to be rather certain. As such, we might see the operator releasing the phone shortly after Verizon Wireless will, which should happen on July 12, as already reported, and it might even feature the same $199.99 price tag.

As for Bell, an internal document that leaked into the wild recently via BGR shows that the handset will become available for purchase with the carrier as soon as July 17. The price tag for the BlackBerry Tour 9630 has been unveiled this way as well, and it shows $699.95 for full retail. At the same time, we should also mention that those willing to sign in for a contract agreement with the carrier will be able to purchase the phone for a price somewhere between $200 and $250.

Said document also shows a series of details on the device, including what the BlackBerry Tour 9630 box will contain, namely the 3G BlackBerry Tour 9630 global smartphone, Travel charger, Micro USB cable, Removable battery, Stereo headset, Quick Start guide, BlackBerry desktop software CD, User guide, SIM card and BlackBerry holster. The feature list of the handset should not be a mystery to anyone at the moment, so we won't get through it now, but we should mention other details that are available in the leaked document.

Here are the reasons why the BlackBerry Tour 9630 smartphone is a device worth going for:

The BlackBerry Tour is a global smartphone allowing clients to bring the full power of the industry’s leading mobile email and messaging solution in over 150 countries. The BlackBerry Tour’s view & edit capabilities of attachments lets clients enjoy the flexibility of working on Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint files from just about anywhere.
