I'm liking .206, but I can't ignore this one!

I just upgraded to .206, so i think I'm going to wait this out until its official and seeing .206 was just released as official, I don't think this will be any time soon. Hows the battery life so far?

I still remember when the OS 5.0 been post by the evil BGR last September on a Curve 8310.(http://www.boygeniusreport.com/wp-content/uploads/blackberry50_1.jpg) Now that even the 8350i has been updated to OS 4.7 (unofficially), then why my 8310 can not taste the sweet fruit? RIM I'm not complaining I'm just wanna know a concret answer that when is the day 5.0 OS for Curve and 88xx will be released.

Can you upload this with desktop manager 4.7 or is there a special DM for 5.0?

Posted by tfrankson Friday, Apr 10, 2009 1036 days ago

I cant wait to read the reviews

 
 
Posted by piper975 Friday, Apr 10, 2009 1036 days ago

I'm sure I read just a week or so ago that you must have DM 5.0 in order to install OS 5.0 ... so where is the DM 5.0 ???

 
 
Posted by LawDude956 Friday, Apr 10, 2009 1036 days ago

Geez! I just upgraded to .206 just a few days ago and was lovin' it. Cur dog and varmints....here we go again. I was waiting for this like so many others. Finally here. :)

 
 
Posted by remipmc Friday, Apr 10, 2009 1036 days ago

i just got .206 yesterday, and i can not resist! updating now. fyi - no idea why some of the megaupload links had an 86MB 8300 version labeled 8900, but the real deal is 126MB for those looking for the downloads.

Posted by vx1 Friday, Apr 10, 2009 1036 days ago

I am running it and I like where things are going I know this is a early build and all but things are headed in a good direction.

 
 
Posted by rvzero Saturday, Apr 11, 2009 1036 days ago

Just upgraded to .206 and I think I'm gonna give this one a pass til a more stable build (in terms of app compatibility) is out.

 
 
Posted by gdarwanto Saturday, Apr 11, 2009 1035 days ago

I am already install that 5.0.0.90; but actually for Browser Internet Not Function; please solve that problem....

 
 
Posted by mrprezident Saturday, Apr 11, 2009 1035 days ago

I've installed the new os and everything works fine google maps, even my 3rd party themes, cant fault it its like a brand new phone definitely worth upgrading to

Even though RIM is evidently trying to lure the consumer markets now with all these new BlackBerry devices with cameras, I sure HOPE they won't forget that the majority of their clients are still in the corporate market...

And I am speaking on behalf of those who are working in the security-sensitive environments (banks, military bases, oil refineries, etc.) stucked with our 87XX and 88XX and can't upgrade to these newer devices because cameras of any kind are not allowed.

Never mind that RIM won't make a camera-less versions of these new devices. Just don't forget us when it comes to OS Upgrades! We deserve it, too..!

So I'm calling everybody with 87XX & 88XX: Say "Hell, Yeah!" if you agree with me! :-)

 
 
Posted by jeffabc Saturday, Apr 11, 2009 1035 days ago

Your BES admin can disable the camera functionality on the phone from his end. No reason why you can't have these new devices and still have "no picture taking" security. If they don't know about it, tell them to talk to RIM about setting it up.

 
 
Posted by Maverick.Xtreme Sunday, Apr 12, 2009 1034 days ago

Nope, cameras are not allowed, whether they are disabled or not...

I'm here in Abu Dhabi, UAE, working in a natural gas fractionation plant. Security is very, very tight. The UAE Army guards the plant's gates & perimeter. The reason for the "no camera" policy is to avoid a would-be infiltrator to take pictures of the plant's interior & give them to would-be terrorists..

I have also talked about that to our BES Admin. He said for his and the company's part, no problem, but it is the UAE government's security rules when it comes to "critical infrastructures"...

Hey there! Does anyone know if can I upgrade my 8900 unbranded (engineers version) from 4.6.1.49 to 5.0.0.90? Do you recommend it? I know there are always risks but, do you think worth it? Thanks in advance!

Posted by bka_nani Sunday, Feb 14, 2010 727 days ago

i just downloaded it this morning and i would like to downgrade,someone please help, im ready to throw this phone out the window. ITS TERRIBLE! i guess it didnt do it right or it just sucks? i see some modules on my download folder i guess because those modules are missing that some apps dont work such as BlackBerry App World and facebook, so far.. i wiped my phone twice thinking it would help, it did not.

Hi,
I try every possible solution in these forums nothing worked but I didn’t want to wipe out my device:
This is what I did in You Tube is a video-tutorial that shows u how to upgrade:
• I download it from the MobiTel Bulgaria, the other ones didn’t work for me
• The I follow the YouTube tutorial that tell you not to use the BDM
• In the same place where you erased the Vendor is a little cell icon that says upload, once u double click it shows a more practical version of the BDM, just follow the instructions and then finally it showed OS 5..0.0.461
• After 30 minutes I am all set and happy with the smooth new layout and some extra features
• Enjoy after putting back the icons the way you like it 
Is like changing from XP to the 2007 takes time to get used to but once is done you can see the improvement
