The BlackBerry Tour just hit shelves in July, but it looks like RIM could already have a follow-up in the works. The BlackBerry Essex will be the next version, and will feature an optical trackpad and WiFi. What it looks like, from an outside perspective, is that RIM was already so far along with the Tour when they 1) developed the trackpad an 2) Verizon announced it would allow WiFi on devices. So they released the Tour, but this is the device that it should have been. There’s not much else known about it, so we could get a number of new features by the time it hits market. If you’re having trouble keeping up with all of these potential new devices, check out BBCool’s writeup. [...] [...] RIM already working on a second Tour?

The target market for this device is therefore somebody who loves rich media on their device, but also travels a lot." I had assumed that the Tour was a business device as it is the only obvious upgrade from the 8830 which with its lack of camera is clearly a business device. Or was I supposed to upgrade to something else? Note I still have to visit customers in Europe and Asia and still have a CDMA provider even though I've decided it was time to upgrade. Or did I make a mistake not staying with the 8830? I suppose I could have waited for Sprint to carry the Bold (and convince RIM to add CDMA) as it seems that is the only BB universally considered a business device.
