It feels like the Tour isn’t quite aged enough to be replaced — especially when you consider that the downright ancient Pearl 8100 series is still sold on carriers around the world — but it seems that Verizon (and Sprint, naturally) might be champing at the bit to move on to a newer model with WiFi and a complete eradication of the pesky trackball. Verizon’s posted a Java app to its site with the file name “vvmail_9650.jad,” a reference to the Tour2′s model number. Of course, the Tour2 itself has yet to be announced by RIM in any capacity — let alone for a specific carrier — so we’ve got some hurdles to jump before this is on shelves, but if nothing else, we can safely say it’s coming to Big Red sooner or later.
