Boy Genius Report found in an internal site that Verizon’s soon to be fleshing out its rather anemic smartphone lineup with the BlackBerry Tour on July 12th for $200 after contract. Update:

This lines up pretty nicely with what we already know; we knew the Tour was coming soon, and Sprint has already set the price of the upcoming BlackBerry at $200.

Update: We’ve also learned that Sprint will be getting the Tour on July 20th, presumably at the same $200 price after contract signing.
So this is still unconfirmed, but we don’t see any reason to doubt it. Cheer up, Verizon users! [Boy Genius Report, Inside Sprint]
