BlackBerry Tour Processor Speed

The arrival of the BlackBerry Tour on the smartphone market has created quite a buzz. Consumers were anxious to know all the details about this exciting handset months even before it was released.

Well, the device certainly did not disappoint BlackBerry fans when it landed. The smartphone offered a pleasing design combined with great features. However, a lot of users were still curious to know about the BlackBerry Tour processor speed.

But why are people interested in the BlackBerry Tour processor speed? Well, I think they want to compare it with other smartphones in the market. RIM has a good line up of BlackBerry handset so knowing the processor speed on the phone would be a crucial information when making a comparison.

The BlackBerry Tour processor speed is listed at 528 MHz. Is this the highest speed among RIM's handsets? Well, No. The processor on the BlackBerry Bold is faster at 624-Mhz.

However, when one combines the Tour's 528-MHz next-generation processor with the OS v4.7 build, the result will be one of the smoothest running BlackBerrys on the block. Some experts have described the combination as speed with minimal process lag-time.

All in all, it shows that the Tour is a world class device. At $199.99 with a new, two-year Verizon/Sprint contract, this device is ready to take on any of the top phones in the market.

That's it for this post on the Tour and it's solid processor. Tune in to this blog to get the latest news and info on everything wireless.

Blackberry Flash Browser

Web browsing is one of the capabilities of BlackBerry smartphones. However, surfing the web on the mobile web browsers are impaired by the lack of Flash support. As a result, many consumers have been clamoring for the arrival of a BlackBerry Flash browser.

Fortunately, recent news suggest that consumers may not need to wait for long to get the BlackBerry Flash browser. A recent article at Boy Genius Report indicates that RIM is working hard to provide flash support on their handsets.

Apparently, the company wants to keep up with the competition by improving the browser on BlackBerry handsets. Competition from other sompanies like Apple, HTC and Palm have pushed RIM to seek out full Flash and Silverlight support for the browsers on the smartphones.

The reports say that the BlackBerry Flash browser is getting full support. Not the Flash Lite browser found in many smartphones. If this report is indeed true then users should expect improved web browsing in the future.

Unfortunately, there's also a downside to this story. Bringing Flash support to the BlackBerry web broswer may take some time. RIM has a reputation of taking it's time with major projects. This innovation is expected to arrive next summer or right before it . Apparently, the company needs to beef up their devices and provided access to higher data speeds to make Flash support work effectively.

This means that BlackBerry users should exercise patience. It may take some time but having Flash on a mobile web browser is well worth the wait.

That's it for this post on the for this post on the upcoming BlackBerry Flash browser. Tune in to this blog to get more news, updates and infortion on Everything Wireless.
