Verizon OS Update for the Tour 9630 Tonight? By Adam Zeis | 19 Nov 2009 12:17 | 
102 comments
*UPDATE: Looks like we were right - no 5.0 this time. Verizon has posted OS 4.7.1.61 on their update page, so go ahead and grab it from this link if you're still rocking the stock OS.* Rumor has it that the Verizon Tour 9630 will be receiving and official OS update from Verizon tonight. Before you get too excited, it may not be that 5.0 that everyone is looking for. If the rumors are true, it may only be OS 4.7.1.61 that is being made official. The update will be available through Desktop Manager and the Smith Micro update site. We only have a few hours to go since the update should show up around 5pm EST. Check out this thread in the forums for more info, and we'll update this post later when/if the update pops up.

they are still f*ckin around with 4.7?? Holy sh*t stop wasting time with sh*t software and release 5.0 already. we all know it works so just do it!!
they should keep anything less than 5.0. We've waited too long for 5.0 already!! Why does it seem that Tour owners get sh*t on? Tour 2 and now this?
LOL! Tour owners got shat on? Try being a day one Storm1 owner... now THAT was a pile of crap!
I am a day 1 Storm owner too! But, the Storm does have 5.0 now.
About damn time....
This is a f*cking joke right..
i just dont get it. why waste their time?
Where is OS5? I mean, where is Telus on this too? OMG
off the road. Release OS5 and push carriers to update. Too many devices, too many OS versions, too much fragmentation..
What a waste of time. Drop 4.7 already and get 5.0 out.
how they going to release 5.0 for the storm and then release another 4.7 for the tour. I have the newer phone but the older OS... tha fuck?
the funniest part is that 13 minutes after this post, a leaked 5.0 was posted for the 9700....I will be sticking with my leaked 5.0
either OS you upgrade to will probably brick your f'ing phone anyway. i've stopped upgrading. too many OS reloads == piss me off
I could never downgrade back to a 4.7 OS after having 5.0 on my Tour
where can you get the leaked 5.0 for the tour?
I'm running 4.7.1.40 now on my Tour. What does OS 4.7.1.61 buy me over .40?
What does 5.0 have which would make me want to upgrade from 4.7?
Thanks,
Joe
I'm so glad I'm rocking a Moto Droid now. You guys need to stop QQing and install the leaked 5.0 already.
I'll be sticking with 5.0.0.230
There's no way I would go backwards from here. .230 has some minor glitches here and there but I will be fine with it.
On a total side note: if they release the T2 anytime soon, I think the carriers should at least give us T1 owners a hell of an upgrade deal regardless of how far we are into the contract.
The T2 is the 9700 with a different battery cover lol.
Who cares about this stupid "patch", lets go! Release 5.0 already, frigin verizon! its been weeks since the Storm 5.0 release, lets go release the official for the tour customer!
Just received stock of new Tours with this version already loaded.
The way I see it, a little update is better than NO UPDATE!! Don't get me wrong, I want OS 5.0 to become official for all devices receiving it too but seriously, all this complaining is a little on the ridiculous side!!
I have the Blackberry Tour for Sprint. Im also waiting for the official OS 5.0 Update. Who cares about the OS 4.7.1.61!!!! Does anyone have a timeframe of when the official OS 5.0 will be out? Somebody out there has to know. Thanks.
I am sure someone does know, only they arent telling.!
Hopefully they will get the message and release it, but we are talking about Verizon here (on my side) and they are the slowest bunch.
I have to agree with Jleeblanch. Any update is better than no update. Sure I check the forums everyday hoping for some 5.0 goodness, but at least this is better than nothing.
I wonder if they will pull it right away like they did with .53. That was a joke.
we will not see the mr2 OS 5.0 until sometime in January or early February.
wow... tour news actually made it to the front page?
WTF? Who cares? Every day I look at the blog page in hopes of an official 5.x release and this just sets that back even further. What a let down.
PlayaX01: yeah, iPhone users don't have this problem... because Apple would rather release a whole "new" device and have people buy that instead.
This topic reminds me of the "Whiners" from the original Saturday night live cast.......
I got to say that this is why i left blackberry after 10 years. The OS is terrible and they bring nothing new. All the blogs on here Android already has. I am just depressed I love blackberry but its so 1980s
You left BlackBerry; then what the freak are you doing posting on something like this?! Sounds like Blackberry envy to me! Android is so weak even Microsoft can get it digs in and be right. As for the Droid what a clunky, ugly piece of sh!t. I'll take my Storm1 any day.
I had an Android G1 and I took it back in order to step up to the Storm 1. I like Android, but RIM has destroyed Google in overall OS advancement recently. With OS 5.0, we are already at a second generation touch OS from none ! What dramatic changes have occured in the Android OS in the last year ?
To the person that said Tour 2 is a bold 9700 with a different battery cover........actually its a better phone!!! It will have open GL support, 2GB of internal storage and probably a better camera!!! Wow does RIM even know what they are doin anymore?
Looks like 5.0 aint coming out now till like FEb....when the Tour 2 is Released...nice way to screw us...
I am willing to wait until they have the bugs worked out before I install OS5 on my Tour. However, I have to admit that it would be nice if RIM would at least tell us "why" we have to wait for an OS that other Blackberry's already have. Even if they just came out and said "we are working out the bugs", at least we would know they are working on it.
Verizon threw them a wad of cash to have the 5.0 ready for the Storm 1 before Storm 2 launched to reduce the number of people pressuring them for free or reduced price upgrades to the Storm 2.
why do I get the feeling a 507 screen is in my near future?
Don't you mean 553?
And to answer your question, it's because you are smart. I've had that problem with every single 4.7.1.xx OS out there (official and leak) on two different Tours. 4.7.1.xx is just plain unstable.
I just received mine in the mail via fedex. It came with the 4.7.1.61 version.. Just so you guys know..
same here, and that was 2 weeks ago... You know what though, I could see vzw releasing a official 5.0.. And that being 5.0.0.230.. Just seems like something they would do
bc I just got mine in the mail yesterday(it was a replacement for my first one that decided to just stop working!!) it has 4.7.1.40 did I get hosed? bc I feel like I did. I upgraded to the last leak of 5.0 that came out for a tour and that messed my phone up also. so no more leaks for me, just give me 5.0 rim. gosh.
You do know these updates are free right? Different batch, different OS, probably just missed the switchover. Not that big a deal.
Anybody know when 5.0 will come out for the 8330 or even IF it will come out for the 8330? or am i just going to have to get the curve 2
No date yet, but you do realize that it will bog the device down something fierce, right? It just barely has enough memory to run it.
It is available now via the smith micro site.
go to blackberyos and join there and u can get the os updates there i just dounloaded the 230 thats the best oone so far they have all of them just go to the device you own and check it out better battery life with 230
Fantastic, I always wanted a new 4.7 update! Thank you sooooo much VZW and RIM you're the best!
....NOW BRING ON 5.0!!!!
it is going to be .75........not .61
Either way, the 5.0.0.230 and its hybrids are way better then a 4.7 OS anyways....
I just downloaded it and it is 4.7.1.61
