Overall, the Tour is a good device and RIM has fixed the issues with it. The Tour 2 will have the updated fixes along with the newer options (WiFi, trackpad, 5.0).
Overall, if you are on your 4th Tour than you are abusing your phone or something. My wife and several friends of mine bought their Tour's the first day and not one of them have returned theirs. Sounds like to me that you need to switch to a different phone that you can throw around.

No, I do not abuse my phone. I am quite particular with my phone and do not, as you say "throw it around". I use screen protectors and silicone covers to protect it from minor scratches from everyday use. I am on my 4th Tour because I have had trackball issues as well as problems with the phones periodically rebooting themselves and repeated lengthy screen freezes.
I do not understand how you address the fact that the Tour has had proven trackball issues and conclude because I have had to have 3 replacements that I am abusing my phone. And yes there are others who got a good one the 1st time and have had no replacements but others on the forums are like myself and have had several replacements.
