Just got home from business trip and did a synchronization of my Tour. I was surpised to see the 5.0.0.419 OS was listed as an upgrade.
Did the upgrade which took nearly 30mins - everthing seems ok. My emails work and was able to get on the net.
I have been checking with Telus regarding the upgrade since November last year. I had heard upgrade would be available in December or early January.
At least Telus can be counted on being consistently late with everything.
