Verizon BlackBerry Tour 9630 to get 5.0 OS update in February or March

Verizon's BlackBerry Tour 9630 will be getting an upgrade to the 5.0 build of the BlackBerry OS according to info just received by BGR.The upgrade will take place in late February or early March. This version of the Tour does not have Wi-Fi and as we just reported yesterday, there are some solid signs that the Tour2 9650 will soon be launched, already powered by the 5.0 OS and with Wi-Fi. Many have called the Tour the best BlackBerry to date with a physical QWERTY keyboard that many consider the best available on a smartphone. The 9630 is also part of Sprint's line-up but the information received by BGR covers the Verizon version only.
