It’s about time. We’re all waiting for all the carriers to release their 5.0 versions, and it’s good to know that Alltel customers can upgrade their software now. And just to clarify things more clearly, this is for the remaining Alltel customers who are not Verizon-acquired and not to be confused with the Alltel customers who are now Verizon customers. Verizon has yet to release 5.0.0.419 for the Tour at this time, so (Alltel)Verizon customers must wait till Verizon releases theirs.

If you are a Alltel customer and have the Tour, this is the upgrade you have been waiting for.

You can download the Alltel BlackBerry Tour 9630 v5.0.0.419 from the Alltel BlackBerry Downloads Page
