Following recent discussions with tipsters and of course the known fact that rumoured phones seem to take an eternity to actually get released.
It’s pretty obvious to us that Verizon do actually really test and test the poop out of things, generally speaking. However, that was not the case with the latest Tour firmware 4.7.1.53 because it was pulled within just a few hours of its release. Not before creating havoc and mayhem with some users phones.
In some instances Verizon actually recommended a replacement unit. If you consider that BlackBerrys are more than likely the most mission critical devices in any carrier line up this really is a big deal. Although Verizon acted quickly and did the right thing by pulling the bunk build the question still has to be asked how on earth did a problem like this actually make it through the exhaustive internal testing phase.
