Tour owners have been gunning for the latest OS 5 build for some time now. With OS 5.0.0.419, hopefully the device will run more smoothly and boot up faster. Again, this is a leaked version so all the usual caveats apply.
Download OS 5.0.0.419 for the BlackBerry Tour 9630.

RIM vaguely promised that we would be seeing OS 5 for older devices before 2010 and while they didn’t deliver in full, they have at least brought us OS 5 for the Bold 9000 very early in the year. This build comes as OS 5.0.0.411 and is courtesy of Bell Mobility. Remember to delete the vendor.xml file if you’re not with Bell.
The vendor.xml file can be found in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader.
Download OS 5.0.0.411 for the BlackBerry Bold 9000.

Thanks to everyone who participated in the beta.
Jim Balsillie recently won Canada’s 2009 Business Newsmaker of the Year, chosen in an annual survey of editors and broadcasters by The Canadian Press. With his exploits trying to buy the Phoenix Coyotes, as well as being the co-CEO of one of the fastest growing tech firms in North America, Jim is almost always in the headlines.
In 2010, I’m predicting Jim will not only buy an NHL franchise, but he’ll play right wing during their first game in Hamilton and score the winning goal with 15 seconds left in the 3rd. Also, Don Cherry will have to wear lipstick for every subsequent Coach’s Corner, having bet Jim it would never happen.
