Leaked: OS 5.0.0.566 For The BlackBerry Bold 9700

When it rains, it pours. Just to get your week off to a fun start and as a little thank you for voting for the Bold 9700 today in the Smartphone March Madness battles (if you haven't voted for the Bold 9700 to beat the Pre yet, VOTE HERE), Bold 9700 owners can grab OS 5.0.0.586. I haven't had a chance to install it yet, so not sure what's improved... if you give it a go be sure to report back in the comments. 

*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. *

Running the official .545 now, for those installing it now definitely let everyone know what this updates all about!

Leave out the retarded sarcastic comments this time. People just wanna know whats new, not waste time reading failed attempts at being funny.

 
 
Posted by marker580 Monday, Mar 29, 2010 684 days ago

Then they can go to the forums. Chill out, man.

Wasnt directed toward you, and that was for the forums. It gets annoying when more then 4 people do it

Posted by ntensive Monday, Mar 29, 2010 684 days ago

yeah i need to see some feedback for this one first... that .566 OS was some crap sh*t. i had to go all the way back to .545 also.

 
 
Posted by KattDaon Monday, Mar 29, 2010 684 days ago

Everyone just stop complaining and waiting and just download it and install, and try the Leaked OS out. Damn! Yall waiting for other people to test it. I mean come on'.
Anyways, I downloaded it and im about to install it so await for changelog if any but stop commenting if your gonna wait or complain. (Jeez, kill that vibe)

 
 
Posted by intprd04 Monday, Mar 29, 2010 684 days ago

Well just finished installing the 571 hybrid because of the app switcher bug in 566. So, I'm downloading now even though that was 2 days ago I installed the hybrid.

Has anyone tried Shazam with this build? Does it work?

 
 
Posted by aris20 Monday, Mar 29, 2010 684 days ago

Oh yeah i totally forgot about that.... Shazam wouldnt work on .566 that had me very dissapointed with the .566 leak

Hallelujah!

 
 
Posted by PGiovanni Monday, Mar 29, 2010 684 days ago

i've been waiting for o.s. 5.0 and they keep re-releasing for phones that already have it......

screw blackberry im done with it hello android.

 
 
Posted by Majarvis Monday, Mar 29, 2010 684 days ago

So... because you have an out-dated model that doesn't have OS 5.0 yet, and you're too dumb to realize that, you think switching to Android will suddenly solve everything?

Good luck! LOL

 
 
Posted by PGiovanni Monday, Mar 29, 2010 684 days ago

ahhhhh no asshole and i call you that because of your prick answer you low life, text cajones jag-off, its because mine is slated for the os 5.0 along time ago and hasnt been rolled out.
and this isnt the only reason its time to swith is because blackberry is slacking in the new deveolpment area, i'd love to see a blackberry slider or magnum. but if they cant even roll out the promised os 5.0 in a timely manner i can hold faith to new better models.
so hello sprint evo 4g

 
 
Posted by BlackberryBlake Tuesday, Mar 30, 2010 684 days ago

I'm assuming that your son's phone is an 8330m, b/c the 8330 is up to 5.0.0.438. But the whole 83xx series is older technology. Anyhow I would not be happy with a curve if it had OS 5.0. Fact of the matter is, there are much newer and better powerful BlackBerry devices out. I'm sure the newer BB's will see more updates for a longer time, but that is because there is a huge difference between the 83xx and the 9xxx.

 
 
Posted by infinus Tuesday, Mar 30, 2010 684 days ago

i still have 8310 and that is pretty much same.

speed is like same, still snappy like my 9700

same email functionality.

8310 is much tough and robust than soft pu**y 9700.
it was dropped many times, and it has lot of scratches, but still going on...
i can't possibly imagine about 9700.

tell me,
why device with 32 or 64 mb ram is equivalently snappier as 256 mb rom ?

8310 is much tough and robust than soft pu**y 9700.

LOL your cracking me up

 
 
Posted by tyrone8323 Monday, Mar 29, 2010 684 days ago

that's a little too intense. what phone do you have? i have a DROID, which i love, and I'm also getting the Bold 9700 from T-Mobile tomorrow because I was, err, still am a BlackBerry addict. I'm not even going to deny it.

But, BlackBerry does need to get their act together in terms web browser, UI enhancements and much better memory management.

I use multiple phones through out the year and BlackBerry is still one of my favorites. Just because your particular model is not getting the 5.0 update, no need to get upset. You can always get the newer hardware.

Technology changes constantly and sometimes companies just have to make the tough decision to drop support for older models and move forward with providing better devices and software for consumers. You should really think about that before go so bent out of shape over an OS upgrade for your BlackBerry.

 
 
Posted by PGiovanni Monday, Mar 29, 2010 684 days ago

no im suppose to get the os 5.0 update i have the 8350i, my son had the 8330, which also was suppose to get the os 5.0, but he asked me to get him an HTC hero, which is pretty damn cool, im headed towards the EVO 4g, has better more intense hardware and the android 2.1 is suppose to be amazing.I am a loyalist to brands, that stand by their customers even if theyre not the greatest, but this laziness and untimely manner of rolling out updates, is ridiculous.

 
 
Posted by marcosis Tuesday, Mar 30, 2010 684 days ago

RIM has released the 5.0 OS to the carriers but it's up to the carriers to release the software to their customers.

hope it build your hope.

Posted by PGiovanni Tuesday, Mar 30, 2010 684 days ago

will it support my direct connect, some reason i just cant seem to get rid of it, wasnt to worried about 3g, since im always using wifi, but i know its time to drop it

 
 
Posted by imnotahippie Tuesday, Mar 30, 2010 684 days ago

wow dude. sprints 4g network (aka wimax) yes it is faster but 3g allows upto 8.6MB a second our carriers limit us way lower then that. so why go with a completely new technology just to get what we pretty much have already?
and yes the blackberry dose slack in some places but the droid dose not use push email. or a great messaging service or even decent speakers. (the wife has one) and what about the battery life?
besides why do you care about 4g anyways you said so yourself that you use wifi most of the time anyways.

and yes they do have OS 5.0 for both yours and your sons blackberry. there is a reason why blackberry is the most used smart phone out there.

so before you jump on here complaining that rim sucks because your to dumb to read the forums then have people like me with no life "trying" to put you in your place just think about what your saying and just LEARN TO READ!

CHEERS.

Will install this leak when I get home from work.
I installed .566 a few days ago and removed it an hour later. Looking forward to this build I would like to know if this works with Shazam also being a paid app on my device .566 app would quit out when clicking setup. I hope this is better than last leak and .545 which has been super.

Posted by dkaz46 Monday, Mar 29, 2010 684 days ago

Installing right now. Heard some good stuff saying that this should be a fast OS.

in the smartphone world----- FAST = GOOD!

 
 
Posted by JGP92 Monday, Mar 29, 2010 684 days ago

Yes! Been waiting for this one, will report back

 
 
Posted by m5rk Monday, Mar 29, 2010 684 days ago

SMS is not showing in homescreen anymore :( my first noticed

 
 
Posted by devGOD Monday, Mar 29, 2010 684 days ago

as predicted a new 9700 OS before the end of the month =)

 
 
Posted by the70sboi Monday, Mar 29, 2010 684 days ago

Still playing with 566, now it's 586. Guess I'll pass this.

 
 
Posted by T-Post Monday, Mar 29, 2010 684 days ago

Nothing really seems any different too me, coming from .545
Might be a bit faster but personally I thought .545 was pretty fast too. We'll see how battery life is I guess. Other then that nothing I've noticed so far. Browsing the internet seems faster but that could just be due to me having a good signal where I am right now.

 
 
Posted by dkaz46 Monday, Mar 29, 2010 684 days ago

Seems that the OS is running faster and smoother. The facebook app also seems a lot less buggy (notifications are actually working!)

Overall this OS is by far the best Bold 9700 OS to date

 
 
Posted by KattDaon Monday, Mar 29, 2010 684 days ago

Okay, no changelog to me besides it being faster and smoother but let me not speak to soon

 
 
Posted by bboyfiend Monday, Mar 29, 2010 684 days ago

installing now. will report back with feedback :)
.566 had a few bugs i've noticed. when i did a battery pull it would load all of my old text messages. also, the media scroll was a big issue with me as well. hope all is fixed in this leak!
