Lots of Verizon customers are hoping the BlackBerry Tour will save them from the misery that has become their BlackBerry Storm and the question many are asking is – “Will I like the BlackBerry Tour?”

If you trust Engadget the answer could very likely be yes as they call it the best BlackBerry available…  but Wi-Fi is a deal breaker you might have to wait for something better to come along:

Put simply, the BlackBerry Tour is far and away the best CDMA BlackBerry available, and it could very well might be the best BlackBerry period if not for a few shortcomings. At this point in the game, we’re still in denial that there isn’t WiFi in this device — it’s inexcusable. We’re well aware of Verizon’s stance on the matter, and we still think it’s ridiculous that they’re allowing RIM to offer a device in this category that doesn’t offer such a basic, universal feature, seemingly in an effort to increase reliance on WWAN data services and juice customers for a few extra bucks in data revenue. We’re also disappointed that the screen doesn’t make the most of the available real estate and that it seems excessively sensitive. Bottom line, if you’re a CDMA user and plan to keep things that way, the Tour is definitely the best BlackBerry available — and it will probably be that way for a long time to come.

I agree with the Wi-Fi comment. Every single device that is considered a smart phone OR feature phone for that matter should come with WiFi and a 3.5mm headset jack.

Personally I would hold off on getting the BlackBerry Tour. The screen is overly sensitive, the trackball has some issues and there is no Wi-Fi… I trust Engadget and all but that is enough to make me stay away. And if you’re leaving the Storm do you really want to go to another BlackBerry with a wonky touch?
