BlackBerry Tour 2WATERLOO, Canada - The new Tour2 has been spotted in the wild, with a new feature.

IntoMobile reports that a clever tester noticed the Visual Voice Mail application for the 9650 Tour 2 is online. The smartphone has been acknowledged by Sprint’s CEO, speaking about it openly last month. Verizon Wireless has also given the Tour 2 a nod, but has not announced a launch date. Speculation is targeting late February or early March.

The Tour 2 is expected to have a 3.2 megapixel camera, BlackBerry OS 5.0, 256MB RAM, GPS, Wi-Fi, fixed keyboard, no touchscreen, and a new higher-resolution display.

The original Tour had real problems with the trackball, this new version is shown with the new trackpad, eliminating those issues.
