Sprint 5.0.0.484

Hot off the presses - Sprint has become the next carrier to officially launch OS 5.0 for the Tour 9630. Reports are flying in that the download is currently available via Desktop Mananger for Sprint Customers, and devices will be upgraded to OS 5.0.0.484. This leaves Big Red as one of the few carriers to still not drop an official 5.0 for the Tour. No download link listed just yet, but it should pop up on the BlackBerry Software Downloads page in the next few days. So what are you waiting for Sprint users?! Plug in and get upgrading!! Thanks Thomas for the screencap.

The Browser is much faster and really there are no bugs to speak of besides the notification email with every reboot which is included in 5.0.0.484 as well. The Browser on the Sprint official reminds me of the slow browser speeds of 4.7 which I completely hated so slow. Thanks for your effort Sprint but I just downgraded back to .419

How do you downgrade back to .419. I like the new snazzy look of the upgrade BUT I've noticed my battery is terrible for some reason and it used to be awesome with the older version (I even have a Sedio extended battery). Also, Im not happy how the left side key button cant be set to lock the phone anymore!

As a Verizon Tour owner might I give the obligatory "OH COME ON!"

Seriously, I've been running a 5.0 hybrid for weeks now, and it works great, but I cant wait for Big Red to drop the official 5.0 OS. I understand they want to test the software and everything so they can avoid issues down the road, but how many more carriers will release this before Verizon does?

 
 
Posted by spadz93 Wednesday, Feb 10, 2010 731 days ago

im pretty sure as long as its a CDMA tour (9630) itll go on your phone. give it a shot

 
 
Posted by jackmei2 Wednesday, Feb 10, 2010 731 days ago

and I switched from sprint to verizon because Sprint used to be the last to get new updates...

 
 
Posted by periwinklemoon Thursday, Feb 11, 2010 730 days ago

Amen!

It's gotta be SOON.

right?!?!??

If you want 5.0 go download 5.0.419 from the other carriers who've released it! These versions are not carrier specific. I've had 5.0.419 on my Tour for over a month and it works great.

 
 
Posted by Pieboy Thursday, Feb 25, 2010 716 days ago

I was wondering where the link for the .419 was located and is there a big difference in the one your running or the .484 that Sprint has released. If you still have it would you mind passing along the link?

 
 
Posted by steven252000 Wednesday, Feb 10, 2010 731 days ago

And in last place with their release is........?

 
 
Posted by joshua.worth Wednesday, Feb 10, 2010 731 days ago

Verizon!

OMG, now can you tour users STFU lol, well at least half of you, we still have to hear the whining from the vzw side...

Posted by JMagic21824 Wednesday, Feb 10, 2010 731 days ago

...whining about the Tour owners whining about the release of 5.0 is nothing more than... all together now... "more whining". Having said that, I'm glad this OS 5.0 saga is coming to an end. :-)

 
 
Posted by PoppaKev Wednesday, Feb 10, 2010 731 days ago

About time... I've been waitin... suck for VZW

 
 
Posted by Chrissosa18 Wednesday, Feb 10, 2010 731 days ago

Posted by ojosverde Wednesday, Feb 10, 2010 731 days ago

I'm sooooo excited for this. I've downloaded the unofficial version of 5.0 on my curve which ended up freezing all the time so OFFICIAL version is GREATTTTTTT NEWS! Downloading as we speak :D

Yay!!!

 
 
Posted by bholzgen Wednesday, Feb 10, 2010 731 days ago

Sorry I am gonna continue the whining - the saga aint over till VZW releases 5.0, which I am sure will come right before the release of the 9650

 
 
Posted by elvin1983 Thursday, Feb 11, 2010 730 days ago

I second this, it'll probably drop a day before the 9650 launches, why let all us 9630 owners have the joys of 5.0 before the new Tour comes out. Damn you Verizon! Damn you and your reliable service and slow OS updates...

 
 
Posted by Scott Spillers Wednesday, Feb 10, 2010 731 days ago

I was expecting Sprint to release .419 like everyone else. .484 sure is a pleasant surprise. My install is done and my Tour is rebooting. Yay!

Posted by stoneworrior Wednesday, Feb 10, 2010 731 days ago

About time, I have been running .416 and was happy with it so hopefully this is even better! Maybe this means the Tour 2 is on its way soon (Fingers Crossed)

 
 
Posted by roosk Wednesday, Feb 10, 2010 731 days ago

What a fantastic, helpful, relevant post

 
 
Posted by talva01 Wednesday, Feb 10, 2010 731 days ago

I am updating now.

 
 
Posted by shandoogie Wednesday, Feb 10, 2010 731 days ago

hey where can i find the .484 link to download for tour?

 
 
Posted by wolosyks Wednesday, Feb 10, 2010 731 days ago

Been waiting on this forever!!!

 
 
Posted by DonnyG2 Wednesday, Feb 10, 2010 731 days ago

No noticeable differences from the leaks just yet...well the reboot is faster.

 
 
Posted by iroq321 Wednesday, Feb 10, 2010 731 days ago

i and a few others noticed that with .419, photos that were taken came out looking grainy. is that still an issue with this build?

 
 
Posted by pimpindegame Wednesday, Feb 10, 2010 731 days ago

how do i download it?

 
 
Posted by FlyBoyM Wednesday, Feb 10, 2010 731 days ago

Really Verizon your dropping the ball here

 
 
Posted by JoeShmoe Wednesday, Feb 10, 2010 731 days ago

Gonna update as soon as I get home to my laptop!!! But why can't I do a 'Wireless Update'???

 
 
Posted by ShanMan77 Thursday, Feb 11, 2010 731 days ago

yea, i know... i was trying to do an OTA download of the OS, too, but it doesn't work that way for now. The DM download is rather fast ;-)

 
 
Posted by konaman Wednesday, Feb 10, 2010 731 days ago

Sweet, I've wanted to update with other vendor versions but was having trouble with the process even after removing the Vendor.xml(s) and other non-essentials. I just plugged in my Sprint Tour for syncing and it poped up with the update and is currently loading the new version. wish me luck!!

 
 
Posted by Thumper213 Wednesday, Feb 10, 2010 731 days ago

i keep getting errors.

guess i got to wait for a link.

 
 
Posted by greatness10 Wednesday, Feb 10, 2010 731 days ago

Is there any difference between this OS 5.0.0.484 and the other offical OS for the tour which is 5.0.0.419?

Posted by brenteesha Saturday, Feb 13, 2010 728 days ago

.419 is for SaskTel, a Canadian wireless provider. .484 is for Sprint. So technically, if you have Sprint and you install .419, it's not official.

 
 
Posted by cboekhoven Wednesday, Feb 10, 2010 731 days ago

I noticed this post and decided to check for any updates for my sprint curve 8530 and there is a wireless update for 5.0.0.459!!

 
 
Posted by brenteesha Tuesday, Feb 16, 2010 725 days ago

I thought 5.0 for the 8530 had been out for a little while already...

 
 
Posted by wbkm85 Wednesday, Feb 10, 2010 731 days ago

doing it now too.. hope it's faster than my .419 hybrid. doubt it but we'll see

 
 
Posted by iammarkronson Wednesday, Feb 10, 2010 731 days ago

i'm not doing the wireless update coz the last one i did took two damn hours. NO. i'm doing it via dm :) g-d is good for making this wonderful os

 
 
Posted by MsDeux Wednesday, Feb 10, 2010 731 days ago

Could you DM me the link too? My name is the same on Twitter.

 
 
Posted by iammarkronson Wednesday, Feb 10, 2010 731 days ago

i don't have a link, i just opened dm, connected my phone to DM & it said that i had the updates & stuff like that..sorry

 
 
Posted by ShanMan77 Thursday, Feb 11, 2010 731 days ago

so far the update is only available via DM and not OTA..... still, a pretty fast process ;-)
