When can other non-boost phones get the 5.0?? is there a link for it yet? since the 8330 already came out on boost shouldnt it be available by now?

wow thats a surprise the 8330 is getting an official 5.0 before the tour and many other devices

The Tour 5.0 OS has been officially released before this by MTS mobile.

Man I want 5.0 for my curve so bad.

*sigh* when will their be an official release for us other curve users. i am so tired of it being carrier based. :(

So when does the 8350i get it's turn on the pot and get the 5.0 update ???

If the Boost 8330 can run 5.0, so can my Sprint 8330, right? Right?!

please!!!!!!!!!

WHEN THE FREAK?!!!?!?
I WANT 5.0 TOO
ehh
FML

Would be nice if Sprint would come on and get with the program. Any ideas when it will be released ?

Who cares if you carrier released the update or not - you can install an OS from any other carrier on any compatible device. However, this is a big deal because there's still no official download for an 8330 device. For the Tour though, there's a couple carriers you can get it from.

will boost mobile now let there customer's rome like sprint does or not? does anyone know for sure? please let me know.. at boostberry75@gmail.com

Woops double post

I am really really trying to be patient about os5 on my sprint 8330...it's rough seeing my friends' bolds, etc, and not knowing when or IF I will ever get the OS for my device..

IM WITH NTELOS IN VIRGINIA. ANY WORD WHEN 5.0 WILL BE AVAILABLE TO US? I MYSELF HAVE AN 8330 WHILE ITS NOT THE LATEST AND GREATEST I LOVE IT. ANY NEWS WOULD BE GREAT.

Gets 5.0 and Verizon still lags. :::sigh:::

Oops double post sorry

nathanix has worked very hard to get something about this and it has. we are currently working. what it will be will be nothing short of awesome, but the contents are sketchy. Even a certain famous hybuider is helping ;) stay locked to CB for more info.

damn. that's a lot of money they want for an outdated model that's soon to be extinct.

there are 5.0's out there. and they work perfectly. there are hybrids that are even better.

if you want it. then grab it. other wise, quit whining.

if you prefer sticking with 4.5. then you have nobody to blame but yourself. you don't need to wait for a carrier release.

i see a lot of articles popping up on google. they claim to be plugging into there desktop manager and the update pulls up for them.

i plugged mine in and it wants me to downgrade to 4.5.175.
i'm running 5.0 hybrid 8.2.5.

what does everyone else get. if you get the upgrade, how?

This is b.s., man. OS 5.0 on the 8330 on prepaid Boost Mobile?! I would think Sprint would release it to their post-paid customers (ppl with contracts) before releasing it on a prepaid device. Utter crap!!

Though it might mean they may release it soon on Sprint. Who knows....

just wondering whats the big difference between the 2 are ? I know it is better just havent seen what makes it better

When will someone just leak it for the other carriers?

we are trying. one guy having it slows us down quite a bit.

Boost?...BOOST? 8330s have 5.0 and us contract Sprint users are stuck with 4.5? What the heck??

The blackberry is already being sold in stores. You can also order it online at radio shack.com

I ordered mine 2 days ago and have to pay $60/month for unlimited everytthing. wats so gud about 5.0 anyways? Im new to blackberrys. lol

Released!

Link not working

Since Sprint owns Boost, could this mean Sprint using Boost as a trial run? Could Sprint users see OS5.0 in the near future??

Will their be any issue if i update my Verizon 8330?

I am debating installing this on my 8330 from Verizon.

However I seen on the blackberry support forums
that it is only for ESN based devices.

so I'm having second thoughts because mine is MEID based.

Any suggestions???

I don't want to wait for VZW anymore!

will this work on the sprint 8530 ?

I just upgraded to OS 5.0.0.438 on a Verizon used 8830 ESN phone that I just got. I deleted the vendor file but it still shows Verizon as the carrier. Do I need to do something else to unlock it for Boost. Can someone point me to a site showing the steps I need to do?
