OS 4.7.1.40

Verizon probably could have timed this better and released the OS on Sunday with the Tour, but better late then never right? OS 4.7.1.40 is now available on Verizon's download site. Nothing special here as this is the OS the Tour ships with, but if you are looking to play around and remove some unwanted sample videos or apps from your device, now you can. Head over to http://vzw.smithmicro.com/blackberry/ to download.

I downloaded this, even though my tour has this os. Just to be able to get rid of some pesky preloads is worth it!

What is the process of getting rid of preloads?

I assume you find them in the folders on the PC and delete them - how do you reflect this on the device?

I want to get rid of videos and service books like Flickr, Yahoo, ICQ...

Will this OS work only on the tour or is is compatible with devices like the 8330?

OS updates are device specific

I was able to get rid of the extra languages, et al, using the online updater from the BlackBerry.com site (i.e. I didn't have to use the Verizon file).

My Tour came today with the .140 software? Do I need to do an update? No OTA updates like with Storm?
