RIM’s BlackBerry Tour2 9650 gets the hands-on treatment

There’s practically zero doubt remaining that RIM has a next-generation Tour in the works, but if you’re one of those tin foil hat wearers, you’ll be glad to know that at least one of these things really, truly exists. Boy Genius just got his paws around the Tour2 9650 (shown left), and aside from the optical trackpad replacing the trackball (and the addition of a WiFi module), there’s not much new here. Oh, except that presumably quicker CPU — we’re guessing to-be owners will dig that. We’re told that the physical size is practically identical to the original Tour, and the keyboard is still phenomenal. Care to take a look? Sure you do — hit the source link for a full hands-on gallery.
