If you didn�t catch the leaked version of 4.7.1.53 that appeared yesterday for the BlackBerry Tour, you�ll be pleased as punch to know that Verizon has officially kicked off the first software maintenance release for the device. The version which we told you about does fix and improve many different aspects of the operating system, yet it�s still not quite perfect. Here�s an official list or change log we put together:
Improved sound quality for Bluetooth headsets and voice calls
Fixed geo-tagging error in the camera application
Fixed an error with DRM music skipping
Improved video player
Added BlackBerry Messenger update notifications � check for new BBM updates automatically or manually.
Fixed an issue with device restarting after activating morning alarm
Fixed an issue with memory cleaning and sluggishness
The first character is no longer duplicated when dialing from the
home screen.
Your smartphone may not have detected headset removal, causing it
to remain connected to a disabled headset.
When prompted to add an email account in the Setup Wizard, your
smartphone may have jumped to �Bluetooth� Setup,� leaving you
unable to navigate back to email setup.
If you tried to save changes to a contact that only contained a
company name, you may have received the error message �Contact
updated externally. Changes will be lost and the view closed.�
Thanks, to everyone that sent this one in!

Wow....I am glad it fixed many of these issues, but I really did not have them with. my 140 version. I absolutely notice 0 difference with .153 vs my version of .140. I mean nothing....
this .53 update also fixed my memory card folders...I have over 2,000 songs on the memory card that were not grouped right at all, it was always mixed up in different folders... .53 fixed that and everything is where its suppose to be now.
Strange, mine always did since I got my Tour in July...
Really? Wow, don't know what happened with my phone then. I have birthdays listed to several contacts, but this is the first time that I've seen them show up in my Calendar. I'd just checked it at the beginning of this month because I had to manually input September birthday reminders. Oh well, that must have been an isolated issue, not something related to this OS update...
i think it was available all of yesterday through DM, because i did it at about 8pm EST.
but when i checked OTA yesterday, there was no wireless update available. RIM probably dropped it by accident.
