Has US Cellular Removed OS 5.0 for Tour?

[Rmorton0573]

I was looking on US Cellular BlackBerry software download page today and they only had OS 4.7 listed. So I checked RIM's BlackBerry carrier download page, and US Cellular showed the same. So I then connected my Tour to DM manager and I got a popup to downgrade to OS 4.7. Is it just me or has US Cell opted not to use 5.0.484, and removed it?

Yes, they apparently removed it because it still doesn't work with My Contacts Backup.

Ok, didn't use My Contacts Backup anyway, I use Google Sync, so I'll be sticking with .484

Why use My Contacts backup with a BB when you can synch with a computer? OS 4.7 was terrible.

I just connected to Desktop Manager and there was no downgrade for 4.7 that appeared.

I think US Cellular will be releaseing OS 5.0.0.643 or above for the Tour, I installed the leak and My Contactd Backup is installed, and working flawlessly, although I still use and prefer Google Sync.

OS 5.0.0.484 is on rim website for the uscellular tour.I received a email a few minutes ago.

It's showing up now on the site Blackberry Software | Software Updates | U.S. Cellular

My Contacts Backup is working now with the new OS.

[Rmorton0573]

So I finally stopped in at my local store and ask someone there, They said that It was taken down until the issue with My Contacts Backup was resolved, once it was fixed they added the OS back. 5.0 was only removed for about a week.

I'm getting ready to put it on my phone but why is it asking me to restart my computer?? I don't think I've had that pop up before. Maybe just ignore it??

The standby button doesn't work. How about everyone else using v5?
