Maybe that whole technical issue will be gone... Although, I'm in Sprint so I've no way of getting this update. Well, not at the moment. Haha.

I have not had any issues with the new OS from Verizon. Maybe I am a lucky one. Will update if I get notified, unitl then I am staying where I am.

Now... will update with fixes ASAP

I hope this update fixes the "Browser Click Issue" & also some other minor issues that other users have been experiencing ever since the official release of the OS 5.0 for Verizon.

But it is good to hear that there is an update, even though it is a platform update.

it's funny, whenever I see a posting about a Carrier dropping an update, it is NEVER , EVER At&t.....wonder why that is LOL:)

my randomly and completely crashed one afternoon last week.. it said to take it in to the provider for repairs! i called big red & they said that alot of tour users had been having this issue since they released the new 5.0 OS.. i told them this was ridic since we already ahd to wait forever for the update.. they sent me a new phone over night which was great except for i had to restore everything.. even with DM backups that can take hours.. always cutting end Big red :( haha

These better include browser issues, as well as the BAD BAD BAD memory leaks the new official OS gave us :(

I'm downloading it now as I type this. Hope it fixes the browser click issue and the phone constantly showing no bars for reception even though I know I have service. I also hope it fixes my crazy memory leak. Going from 94MB to 80MB in one day is not ok.

None of these issues existed when I was running the Verizon 4.7 OS.

still has click issues in the browser after reboot.

Funny, I tweeted Big Red's support just this morning regarding the laundry list of issues. No response. I guess they wanted to surprise me!! :-D hehehe

will this make me reload all my apps and reset all my settings if I do the update? I have no problems with the current .591 OS and don't feel like setting the phone back up again.

When was the last time Sprint put out an update for the Tour? AGES! We want one, too (that works!)

It's not showing up on my phone or in desktop manager or in VZW's site. Anyone have a mirror?

I was waiting for this to show up on Crackberry. I thought I was the only one that got the update notification on my Tour. I'm updating over the air right now. I'll update any fixes or improvements I notice later.

I got the update, but when I tried to install it, it said it failed and told me to try again later. Did that twice. Anyone else having this problem?

Hopefully this will fix the problem I have with my phone spontaneously rebooting multiple times a day (at inconvenient times, no less) and the issue with the broswer clicking.

It's only a 15MB download..... Downloading now. We'll see what it fixes :)

Its things like these that make me seriously question my loyalty to VZW and RIM. I have been one of the most ardent supporters of both for years, but I am seriously considering moving to Spint for the EVO 4G when it comes out. They have to release an update to fix the things they broke so soon after releasing the last update.

Its just kind of sad, I am holding out hope that WES will be more than "here is the Pearl with a T9 and the rehashed Tour". They better have serious info on both OS 6.0 and some kind of date for the release of the Webkit. Without either of those WES might as well be a meeting of a few RIM employees around a coffee pot. The time of pep rallies based around software that is moving even further out of date needs to come to an end, and who ever thought a Blackberry with a very nearly extinct(the T9) keyboard should be shipped off to work at Palm

I downloaded the 5.0 again and am doing the update if I don't like this will downgrade again back to the 4.7

They aren't kidding that it may take FOREVER to install and be back up and running. I'm been installing/restarting for over an hour... just started the restore process now... this better be an AMAZING update if it takes this long to install

Boot time went from 8 minutes to 10 minutes and I don't have a lot of apps installed. Too early to tell about browser click issue. My memory is at 97.2 MB at boot up and has never been that high.

Phone currently shows v.5.0.0.591 (Bundle 1059, Platform 4.2.0.84).

Edit: My phone has been on for 5 minutes and memory went up to 97.7MB.

Tried both OTA and via desktop and was unable to download. Guess I just have to wait til it lets me download it.

This is weird for me I never seen messages like patching OS, patching java, don't know what the next message will be. So far its been about 30 minutes. This is a completely different experience than getting upgrades via desktop.

I hope it fixes my horrible battery life now. I don't care about the browser click issue anymore. Why? Because my battery life is so bad I can't afford to use the damn browser anymore!

I updated my VZW Tour as soon as I was alerted to the new OS 5.blahblah. 5 days later it bricked my phone dead. Gave an error message ZW had never seen. I didn't make the connection with the upgrade, so when I got my new phone the next day I upgraded from 4.7 to 5 again and reloaded all my apps. Then I came here and found out about all the problems & downgraded back to 4.7 and had to reload everything again. Nice... only spent about a whole day with the whole episode. Thank VZ & RIM... I'll wait to upgrade and let someone else be the lab rat. :(

Works great here....perfect OTA Install
