After a long wait of leaked OS and a false start looks like the wait will be finally over for Verizon customers. Starting this Monday, Verizon Tour users can finally obtain the official 5.0 OS ( 5.0.0.591) to hopefully end the plague of the problems a lot of Tour owners suffer from. The new OS also will have PTT (Push-To-Talk) support built-in as well. Below shows the list of changes/improvements that comes along with 5.0:
