All I can say is it’s about time. While most BlackBerrys on the market have either launched with OS 5.0 or been upgradeable for some time, the Verizon BlackBerry Tour 9630 was stuck on OS 4.7. Not that it’s a bad OS by any means, but many in the BlackBerry community felt as if the Tour 9630 (and more specifically, the Verizon version) was being thrown under the bus by Verizon and/or RIM.
Improvements include:
- Camera – Smoother operation in both camera and video applications.
- Calling – Improved Bluetooth functionality for last number dialed, enhanced functionality for Voice Activated Dialing in both French and English, improved missed call log showing missed Call Waiting calls, and upgraded Call Waiting caller ID and call timer.
- Messaging – Improved functionality for reading, sending, forwarding, and deleting SMS messages as well as corrected in-box display when in holster.
- Bluetooth – Improvements in operation when using VZ Navigator
- Push To Talk – Push To Talk capability Software Availability
There were rumblings in the community that the .591 build was less than perfect, so it will be interesting to see how it pans out as an official release. Go get your download on, and let us know how it performs!
