LOL I bet the tour people are going to be mad. I have a tour and I just stop paying attention to all the 5.0 stuff. It will be released when released :]

Are "the tour people" always mad? ;)

 
 
Posted by Shemp1973 Friday, Dec 04, 2009 800 days ago

Yes. We are. This is BS! :-) Hey, don't get me wrong. I'm happy for you if you're a Bold user, but come on, how 'bout some Tour love?!?

Man, looks like I'm gonna have to go to walmart to get the new bold for the $128 with upgrade contract. Seems like an even sweeter deal now!

 
 
Posted by s2kneSs Friday, Dec 04, 2009 800 days ago

SHoTTa35: Dude hurry! Don't wait. It's awesome!

 
 
Posted by s2kneSs Friday, Dec 04, 2009 800 days ago

This was a pretty big leap in terms of numbers... .371 to 405,I hope this has the fixes we been waiting for and some new additions. :)

 
 
Posted by bondapher Friday, Dec 04, 2009 800 days ago

Posted by s2kneSs Friday, Dec 04, 2009 800 days ago

thanks guy

 
 
Posted by BuddyBlackberry Friday, Dec 04, 2009 800 days ago

I sure as hell hope that this leak doesn't have all these pre installed links of un wanted games, and apps.

 
 
Posted by s2kneSs Friday, Dec 04, 2009 800 days ago

The SMS bug is fixed!!! :) I got a good feeling that this leak is going to the the official T-Mobile update. Everything works! and the themes under options look like they looked with any official release. MyFaves is still there :)

Clicking with the trackpad while browsing also works now, before we had to hit the enter key on our keyboard.

Browsing seems quicker on EDGE.

Stop giving leaks for the 9700 it was released with 5.0

while the bold 9000 (my bold) was on running on 4.6

Release 5.0 for the bold 9000 already!

 
 
Posted by rafac24 Friday, Dec 04, 2009 800 days ago

LOL. The Bold 9000 has at least 3, if not more, 5.0 leaks from a while back. Check the forums

 
 
Posted by gr8cop Friday, Dec 04, 2009 800 days ago

Havent got to play with it yet, but it seems to be working well. This is my first upgrade, I kept the .330 that came with the official t-mob release. Im on BES, so if I have any issues I will report.

 
 
Posted by slava888 Friday, Dec 04, 2009 800 days ago

Any word on the battery life with this build?
I hope they fixed that issue.

 
 
Posted by drassin Friday, Dec 04, 2009 800 days ago

I assume no OTA link, right?

 
 
Posted by Statehouse Friday, Dec 04, 2009 800 days ago

Anybody know how to upgrade OS using BlackBerry Desktop Manager for Mac?

Its a great program, but I'm having problems figuring out how to do this.

 
 
Posted by impalass96 Friday, Dec 04, 2009 800 days ago

Yes Tour peeps are made due to the Tour 2! =) That is why they are seeing less love on those OS leaks and or official.

 
 
Posted by JLeiteRosa Friday, Dec 04, 2009 800 days ago

Anyone with a working Megaupload link?? the link is no longer available... Boo!

 
 
Posted by jhrain Friday, Dec 04, 2009 800 days ago

I have the worst timing? Hopefully someone will graciously put this back out there! I need my SMS FIX. :)

 
 
Posted by ttop Friday, Dec 04, 2009 800 days ago

Before the update to 405 I had individual mailboxes for corp email (BES) and personal email. I seem to have lost that option. Now I have to use the messages Icon again, and all my SMS and BBM messages show in there as well. Anyone know how to separate them again, or can someone confirm that the option is now gone?

 
 
Posted by BoscoBerry24 Friday, Dec 04, 2009 800 days ago

Can't you separate SMS and emails into separate boxes through options?

 
 
Posted by HofstraJet Friday, Dec 04, 2009 800 days ago

I will be updating my 9700 this weekend and will report back on whether that feature is back. I hate having personal email combined with BES emails.

 
 
Posted by leob Friday, Dec 04, 2009 800 days ago

The message list option under messages is what controlled what separate email addresses as well as sms text you wanted to see under Messages icon. Seems this is now gone in .405. I can live with the SMS bug until the Message list is added back in. Back to .351 for me. :(

You can remove BBM's and SMS from the main messages folder using the options menu in BBM, but confirmed the separate email box thing is gone from this build. No biggy to me though as that's the way it was on my 9000. Was just a nice feature when I moved to the 9700. It will be back I'm sure!

 
 
Posted by ichbingeil1 Friday, Dec 04, 2009 800 days ago

Posted by amirnabilkamelsaad Friday, Dec 04, 2009 800 days ago

Posted by Lovesherbb1915 Friday, Dec 04, 2009 800 days ago

^^File isn't missing from Rapidshare, you just have to be a premium member to download it. Boo. It's no longer on Hotfile, though. Can someone please re-up the links? On somewhere else, maybe? lol. Thanks. :)

is this a reliable download?

Thanks for the new links guys. :D

Muhahahah it's a good thing I sold my 8900 on eBay for $200.00 even. They got a good deal, I got a good deal in my opinion. It was a win win. I even was nice enough to put the most stable OS on the Blackberry... I remember a time when the 8900 has a ton of updates and it seemed for a while 5.0 for the 8900 was coming soon. I think it's funny that now that 9700 has 5.0 and it's on it's way to 6.0 with the amount of updates and leaks. LOL!

 
 
Posted by jhrain Friday, Dec 04, 2009 800 days ago

Can anyone tell if this is a T-Mobile Build or AT&T (are they specific to carriers? Based on postings by some users it seems they are).

 
 
Posted by VZWRocka Monday, Dec 07, 2009 797 days ago

Builds aren't carrier specific. The TMo versions may use a different platform because the difference in 3G frequencies (I've never gotten a clear answer on that) but any build should install on any 9700 and the internal RIM versions (what these leaks are) probably work on both.

 
 
Posted by DanielVox Friday, Dec 04, 2009 800 days ago

UMM for whatever reason I installed this but it's just an application loader? I have windows 7, i bet that's why this is messing up..... Grrrrr !!! This will not install into my applications ? It says it's done installing.. but when i am done it just goes to application loader and then will not find my device. ... this is stupid! And then if I want to close out of application loader I cannot find it AT ALL on the computer to try and load it up again. I have to uninstall and then reinstall .. GAY!

 
 
Posted by bigjman Friday, Dec 04, 2009 800 days ago

I hate having to dig through peoples comments asking about why this isn't available for their device to get to comments from actual 9700 users. They do have forum sections for your phone where you can ask.

 
 
Posted by mcgoo25 Friday, Dec 04, 2009 800 days ago

@DanielVox--Try using BBSAK to install the OS. Sometimes from what I've noticed the Application Loader does not always recognize the difference in the OS. But BBSAK will find it right away.

On the other hand--SMS issue has been resolved!!!! So much nicer to see who I have been texting, and easier to organize strings of messages.

@jhrain--I believe this to be a Tmo build. It does still have the Myfaves support.

 
 
Posted by amirnabilkamelsaad Friday, Dec 04, 2009 800 days ago

If so, would it work on ATT 3G?
I need my 3G for tethering and calls at the same time...

 
 
Posted by DanielVox Friday, Dec 04, 2009 800 days ago

I figured it out... however now I have a SMS Issue. / Inbox issue... go figure. HA HA I cannot delete prior now. when I try to all messages stay in the inbox( I have ONE mail box for SMS MMS and EMails. Ill restart my BB and see what happens HOWEVER if it turns into me needing to restart every time I'm going back to 330. On the bright side I now can sync contacts via the internet .. which is NICE!

 
 
Posted by batrad Friday, Dec 04, 2009 800 days ago

wow.. another OS in under a week
