When it comes to software updates for BlackBerry devices, I usually refrain from posting them on PhoneDog (due to the many leaks that happen on a regular basis). But this one is a big one. As most BlackBerry owners know, the Tour 9630 seems to be a forgotten member of the BlackBerry family (similar to the original Storm, if you remember that snafu). Tour owners have written about their frustrations, and while there's a new (unofficial) OS released regularly for most of the current BlackBerry devices, the Tour has seen only a handful of updates. Granted, RIM isn't responsible for unofficial OS leaks, so you can't directly blame them. However, leaks are often a way of seeing what the company has in store for the device.
On to the point. Sprint has officially released OS 5.0.0.484 for the BlackBerry Tour 9630 online and through Desktop Manager. Gone is the need to perform an unofficial upgrade, as it's live, in the flesh, and official! Verizon users, the update hasn't arrived for you just yet - though you could run it (unofficially) on your device.
All in all, great news for Tour users. Hit the download link (here), or plug your 'Berry into Desktop Manager to get 5.0 rocking on your device!
