Verizon BlackBerry Tour 9630

Just a quick BlackBerry OS update here… Well, actually, this is an update of an update! :)

Verizon has released and update to the recently released OS 5.0.0.591 for the BlackBerry Tour 9630. Chances are you’ve already received notice (if you’re on a Verizon Tour)… If not, you’ll have to keep waiting as no desktop installation has been released yet. At release, the OS was at platform 4.2.0.272, and after this update you’ll notice the platform moving to 4.2.0.284. Check your wireless update options… if you haven’t noticed that little update icon on your homescreen, I’d be surprised.

If you run the update, be sure to let us know if you notice any marked changes or improvements.

    I did the upgrade. For the most part, its fine. Only problem…every single time a text message, twitter, facebook, email or any type of message comes thru, it does the normal sound to alert you THEN it plays this irritating LONG musical song AFTER it has notified you about the message. When you get messages all the time, it gets pretty irritating. I can’t find a place to shut it off. If anyone knows of how or where to shut off that insanely irritating song notice, please let me know. Ugh!

    Power down, remove the battery, replace battery and power back up. This cleared the problem for me.
