Tour 5.0 beta... how?

[lockerc18]

I've read here that RIM's intention is to make 5.0 available for all phones at once. I don't see how that possible in the case of the Tour. There have been beta versions for many other phones for a while now, but there still isn't one for the Tour. At least, officially. So, how can 5.0 launch for all phones concurrently, including the Tour, if there hasn't been an official Tour beta made available yet?

RIM does not release beta OSs publicly period.

A release for all models at the same time seems highly unlikely due to the fact it's not RIM who releases the OS but the individual carrier.
