BlackBerry Tour 9630 Phone, Black (Sprint)
$499.99
The Blackberry Tour is a good phone, and might be the most consumer-friendly Blackberry to date.

As usual, the Tour features a great QWERTY keyboard. The best Blackberry keyboard I've used, but not quite as nice as a horizontal slider - but it can be easily used with one or two hands. Blackberry has a powerful suite of messaging applications, but they, along with Blackberry OS as a whole, are starting to get dated. Where is my threaded messaging, RIM? I do love the combined messages inbox, but seriously, threading is sorely missed. The screen is bright and sharp. Internet browsing is fairly fast, and better than old Blackberry phones, but not quite webkit-level.

The new Blackberry App World is a nice touch, but has a low count of applications to date. However, despite the small number, they are generally good quality. The App World itself is mediocore - slow, not all that intuitive compared to competing app stores. Definitely a good starting point though, and there are a ton of third-party applications out there for Blackberry not in the App World yet. The Sprint version came bundled with SprintTV and NFL applications, which worked great on the Tour, along with Sprint Navigation. GPS connected quickly and held a signal well.

The phone multitasks, but not as smoothly as some other phones. There is no way to manually close applications, and they don't always interact well - for example, on the Palm Pre, if you're listening to music with Pandora and using Sprint Navigation, Pandora will play full volume until there is a voice prompt, where it seemlessly dims the Pandora volume. Doesn't work nearly as well on the Tour.

I did have some issues with speed and stability. The phone crashed every now and then, requiring a hard reset - which takes a very long time. While generally the phone is very snappy, sometimes it randomly takes several seconds to load or switch applications.

All in all, the Tour is a great phone for both business and casual users. Hopefully, update to the operating system can move it into a more modern system with other phones.

Pink: Funhouse Tour - Live in Australia [Blu-ray]
$24.98
One thing that Pink has never been accused of is being repetitive or boring. Bringing her show straight from the stage and into your lounge room is the DVD of her latest tour which was filmed in Sydney on the 17th and 18th of July 2009.

From the opening where you see Pink waking up on the couch after a big night, you know that you are going to be in for a visual feast and a truly theatrical performance. A pantomime starts the show by running around the stage exciting the crowd and turning a gear to lift our favorite performer out of a trap door.

The costume changes show more and more of Pink's athletically toned body and enough sequins that any drag queen would be jealous. From the flowing skirts through to the red leather pants, she looks quite at home in each outfit.

The best thing about the entire DVD is that she looks like she is having fun on stage. Some live shows, even some DVD releases of live shows, the artists look bored or like they're just going through the motions of their performance. Pink is vibrant in her performance and captures the viewers attention with effortless ease.

Watching her songs come alive is nothing short of phenomenal. From Ave Mary A with its powerful lyrics and rocking sounds, right through to the emotional vulnerability of Babe I'm Gonna Leave You and Family Portrait with their raw delivery. Pink is a dynamic powerhouse with each of her songs, throwing herself 100% into each and every number.

Surprising in its inclusion though stunning performed is I Touch Myself where Pink drapes herself over a red velvet lounge. The performance is seductive and sensual. As she cavorts on the lounge, hands appear through the lining and caress Pink while she sings. It's amazing and spectacular viewing.

Her sense of humor is certainly not without mention and shines through in both the audience interaction and the performance of Leave Me Alone (I'm Lonely) with her quest to find bad dancers and her own efforts at terrible dancing. It all carries through into the following track So What. Her poses to inside with the lyrics of having rock moves and the pillow fight between her dancers and one more hapless man who ends up in very little and tied to her on-stage bed.

The piano interlude between So What and Family Portrait is breath taking a breath taking piece and with the clips of her show flashing beside the piano, it's also stunning to watch. The determination and sheer majesty of the culminated effect is worthy of the applause and cheers the audience provided.

Her performance of Sober with the acrobatics is nothing short of show stopping. The camera catches several audience members with worried and concerned looks on their faces. Pink shows her true diversity as a performer and not just a singer as she executes each move perfectly and drags more cheers from the crowd at the spectacle that they have just beheld.

The show stopping moments don't stop there. Also included is Pink's own version of Bohemian Rhapsody. The way she takes to the song, it could almost be that it was written especially for her. Her performance is without flaw and with her delivery is purely electric from the deep sentiment to the fun of the music as the song progresses. Masterfully, she manages to pull it firmly back to the heartfelt conclusion of the song.

It would certainly be remiss not to mention the tour's title track Funhouse with it's electric delivery and kitsch performance with the dancers in costumes that look like circus performances reminisce of the wild, wild west times complete with the bar maid outfits. The routine is heavily choreographed but all the performers have obviously put a lot of effort into it and the piece comes off with a wonderful dynamic that captivates the eyes.

To introduce the cast members, the last cover song is the Gnarls Barkly classic Crazy. From the outset it's going to be a great performance and her humor again shines through as she talks about the different cast members. There is obviously a great relationship that has built up between of the members. After introductions, she goes back into audience interaction mode getting the audience to help sing the chorus before disappearing offstage.

Not content to leave the show there, the encore kicks in with Get The Party Started and more acrobatics sure to captivate, amaze and entertain the audience. Even if you don't like the song, it's worth watching for the athletic ability of both Pink and her performers.

The real finale kicks in with Glitter in the Air. The subdued tones almost at odd with the previous song but it's masterfully done and the performance is nothing short of stunning. There is a lot to be said about this woman's talent and none of it can be bad.

For anyone who saw the show, this is a fantastic keep sake and for anyone who didn't see the show, this is a must have for any fan who had their partner forget to buy their tickets in time for Christmas like they were meant to. It had to be one of the most exciting shows and musical events to have happened in the last few years. Now you can relive it again and again from your own lounge. This is a must have for any fan or anyone who went to the concert. This is Pink live and at her best.
