Thread: Official: OS 5.0.0.983 for the BlackBerry Tour from Sprint

BlackBerry Tour owners have something new to load into there device. OS 5.0.0.983 has been made official by Sprint. No word on what is really different between this release and Verizon's .975 release about a month ago. In any event, if Sprint is your carrier then you probably have received notice through your Desktop Manager of the latest release. If Sprint is not your carrier click the download link below and remember to delete that Vendor.xml file.

While I thank the OS release gods for something new for my Tour, what do I have to sacrifice to get an OS 6 leak for it?

I didn't think the Tour would be in line for the OS6 upgrade due to device memory.

I've been using .983 on my Bold and I like it a lot.
