Verizon & Bell have let loose with OS 4.7.1.40 for the BlackBerry Tour. Its a shame they did not have it at launch but I guess late is better than never.

Shouldn’t the title be 4.7.1.40?

That’s a little weird that Bell and Verizon release os 4.7.1.40. I just pick up my Tour today @ Telus and my os is already at 4.7.1.40.
I have to say this is one sweet phone. Will never look back to the curve AGAIN!!! Will keep it as a backup.

Assuming the title should read 4.7.1.40 (not 4.7.1.70), I bought my Tour on release (July 12) and it already has 4.7.1.40 on it.

I picked up a pair of Tours on Monday and they both had 4.7.1.40 on them as well.
