Just a few days ago we saw OS 5.0.0.405 for the 9700 pop up, and now we already have another leak floating around. Reports are good on this one, so if you have some spare time you may want to give it a go. Drop a comment and let us know if it has anything new (like my 'Show Recent Contacts When Composing Email' option!).
*Update: It looks like this OS may include an updated BBM (version 5.0.0.52) - the folks at BBHybrids have posted an OTA link so you can grab just BBM from your device here.*
*OS Disclaimer - Please Read: Keep in mind this is NOT an official release and as such is not supported by RIM or your Carrier. If you choose to install, do so at your own risk and only if you're comfortable in the process of upgrading and downgrading your device software. It is quite normal during operating system development for certain features to be crippled or disabled while others are tested, and these beta builds often reflect that. They are not always better. Depending on your BlackBerry comfort level, it may be best for you to wait for community feedback on a build before deciding to download and install for yourself or simply wait for the next official release. If you require support, you will find it in our CrackBerry forums via our extremely knowledgeable community base - do not contact your carrier or RIM for Beta OS technical support (their first course of action will be to advise you to downgrade to a supported OS). Follow the links below for more information and instructions. *
