Go back to the store or call anytime if you can't figure out a feature- they know the phone's detailed features and can provide valuable information. Ask the sales person to set up your email and transfer contacts from your old phone before you go!

Set aside an hour to just play with the phone. Click the various buttons to see where they lead you.

on 9/3/2009 The intent of this article was not to show you how to use the Blackberry Tour, but to indicate where you can learn more about the Tour. Purchasing a new phone can be very overwhelming, so learning where you can get more information (such as your sales associate), can be extremely helpful. I hope that clarifies the intent of the article for you.
