We've heard about Telus launching it July 15, and Sprint has mumbled something about "later this summer" (coincidentally, just like MMS on the AT&T iPhone...but we're not bitter). But we finally have word on Verizon's front that they will be first out of the gates by launching the Tour on July 12, three days before Telus does.

Pricing on Verizon's version will start at $199.99, beating out Telus on both launch date and price.
