what about the memory in 8900?

 
 
Posted by BajanDude Saturday, Oct 24, 2009 943 days ago

If i'm not mistaken the 8900 has 256mb of memory

 
 
Posted by Yandar Saturday, Oct 24, 2009 943 days ago

The 8900 is a typo on Kevins part. It will get it. There is 5.0.314 floating about for the 8900 right now.

 
 
Posted by Kevin Michaluk Saturday, Oct 24, 2009 943 days ago

Where did I make a typo? I said the 8900 is getting it. Only less than 96MB is not. Curve 8900 is 256. All good.

 
 
Posted by msblueline Saturday, Oct 24, 2009 943 days ago

Yep, I see it listed as plain as day... Curve 8900 4th 0ne down on the list.

So RIM is still sucking up to Big Red. RIM should have binned OS5 for the 8330 and just left it for the 8530 thats just been announced.

 
 
Posted by cboekhoven Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 943 days ago

In case you didnt know. the 8330 is for sprint. so is the 8330m. so i dunno how RIM is sucking up to Verizon but you may continue to believe in your own delusions.

 
 
Posted by Frella Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 942 days ago

Sprint is not the only carrier with the 8330 and according to the RIM website there are many carriers including Verizon

 
 
Posted by cboekhoven Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 942 days ago

Okay so big deal other carriers including Verizon have the 8330. I still dont care because the Original Poster that claims RIM is sucking up to Verizon is still wrong. I would like to know how RIM is sucking up to Verizon if sprint also has the 8330.doesnt make much sense considering it was a memory cut-off and not a carrier decision

 
 
Posted by abboder Saturday, Oct 24, 2009 943 days ago

So when can we expect these out?

 
 
Posted by elwil1 Saturday, Oct 24, 2009 943 days ago

A Blackberry and Verizon Rep told my son that he Storm OS update will be released tomorrow 10/25/09 at 6.00 pm. He called all excited, since he is now on his 3rd Storm. The RIM rep told him how great the Storm 2 is. .I am sure glad I invested several hundred dollars for RIM to Beta sub-standard = to 1st generation smart phone. Don't I feel special that the Storm 2 is an improvment; however if it can go two weeks with out a battery pull it is an improvemnt.

 
 
Posted by Grandpa1947 Saturday, Oct 24, 2009 943 days ago

Thank you for saying what has been on my mind. And wouldn't it have been nice if the Storm2 had a more powerful processor like the iDevise?

 
 
Posted by gtstang462002 Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 942 days ago

I go 1 to 2 months between battery pulls. My average memory is around 15-18mb free at any time. I have 50-55 apps on my phone at any given time.

 
 
Posted by k3kid Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 942 days ago

I have had the storm for 2 weeks now and it does a battery pull about 3 times a day any clues anyone?

 
 
Posted by ROUGH72 Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 942 days ago

SMOKING CRACKBERRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 
 
Posted by ROUGH72 Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 942 days ago

NOT SHURE ON FIRST PART BUT THE LAST PART SOUNDS RIGHT

 
 
Posted by nickbutterz Saturday, Oct 24, 2009 943 days ago

but any ideas on official dates we all know the storm has a date. cant wait to see when the tours will get a date

 
 
Posted by jerseysoprano Saturday, Oct 24, 2009 943 days ago

Can't wait until it actually happens!

 
 
Posted by jkinslow Saturday, Oct 24, 2009 943 days ago

glad im upgrading to the 9700 next month.

 
 
Posted by mxd896 Saturday, Oct 24, 2009 943 days ago

When is it coming... Really? Did I miss that? Don't say 10/25, thats tomorrow.

What would really be nice to know is when the update's will be.

 
 
Posted by dj2big Saturday, Oct 24, 2009 943 days ago

I just want the threaded messages and faster internet surfing. I will be happy with that.

 
 
Posted by ILR1978 Saturday, Oct 24, 2009 943 days ago

I look forward to getting that update.

 
 
Posted by katiepea Saturday, Oct 24, 2009 943 days ago

are you hearing any release date rumors for the newest models, like the bold, and 8900? considering that the leaked bold and 8900's numbers being right up there with the "official storm" build, i'd guess it can't be too far off hopefully.

 
 
Posted by captobie Saturday, Oct 24, 2009 943 days ago

Didn't really expect the 8310 to get an update, but it is a little disappointing nonetheless. The 8310 is an okay phone, but it really is time to up the game with something more modern. Sucks if you just got one in the last few months though.

 
 
Posted by jtrot1000 Saturday, Oct 24, 2009 943 days ago

Anything about the devices with less memory getting an update say to anything above 4.5 (4.6, 4.7)?

 
 
Posted by LazyStarGazer Saturday, Oct 24, 2009 943 days ago

Hopefully the official for the 8330 will be far less buggy.
Read and replied to using the beta m1.crackberry.com
It's a good day for for this CB member.

 
 
Posted by boman06210 Saturday, Oct 24, 2009 943 days ago

Can't wait till the official verizon release for the 9530!!!!

 
 
Posted by skip921 Saturday, Oct 24, 2009 943 days ago

so the 8330m is included also right? i guess its up to sprint to release it or not.

 
 
Posted by DevilInPgh Saturday, Oct 24, 2009 943 days ago

What is the memory requirement going to be for OS5 for the 8330 as compared to OS4.5? My post-battery-pull memory remaining is 27 MB, with 5 MB eventually leaking, so I just want to make sure it doesn't take up too much space. I guess it's time that I delete Brick Breaker, a game I haven't really been playing anyways.

 
 
Posted by mosmiley Saturday, Oct 24, 2009 943 days ago

What a joke. OS 5.0 isnt even that big of an upgrade and its supposed to require more memory?? As if the BlackBerry OS can get any more pathetic when it comes to memory management and leaks.

My 8830 World Edition is my last BlackBerry, I'm sorry.

 
 
Posted by Dabrador Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 942 days ago

My 8130 is my last Blackberry. The BB OS is stale, tired and truly behind. The sooner Android hits VZW, the better.

 
 
Posted by mstidham04 Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 942 days ago

dude, dont give up so soon. My 8830 sucked too, but jus went to TOUR and it is soooooooooo much better. None of the problems I was having, plus the new OS is so much better! Give it anopther try. MY family got the curves, gen 1...even those were better than the world edition.

:)

 
 
Posted by xandermac Saturday, Oct 24, 2009 943 days ago

The list isn't credible. The 8520 isn't even shown yet OS 5 has already been leaked for the device which shows that it's been developed. If they can omit that device so easily who's to say what else on the list is a mistake.

 
 
Posted by Kevin Michaluk Saturday, Oct 24, 2009 943 days ago

true that in regards to the 8520.

 
 
Posted by Tsudeily Saturday, Oct 24, 2009 943 days ago

YAY for 8330!

 
 
Posted by decolur455 Saturday, Oct 24, 2009 943 days ago

Well, my 8130 has been a tireless warrior. Maybe it's time to retire her so I can get on board with 5.0. That sucks!!!

 
 
Posted by makya53 Saturday, Oct 24, 2009 943 days ago

I keep one in my laptop bag @ all times. When I brick my storm I just fire up the pearl. Thank you RIM for this warrior.

 
 
Posted by Nicketmaster Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 943 days ago

Another 8130 Samurai here. I will keep her by my side (in my desk drawer) while I attempt to learn the ways of 5.0 on a new device.

 
 
Posted by Royhoentor Saturday, Oct 24, 2009 943 days ago

good news but no old 8 series?

 
 
Posted by dgs2000 Saturday, Oct 24, 2009 943 days ago

By old 8 series I presume you are talking about 87XX's? If you have one of those and you are interested in the stuff 5.0 has to offer, time for an upgrade.

 
 
Posted by cluez101 Saturday, Oct 24, 2009 943 days ago

what about the curve 8520
i dont see it on the list

 
 
Posted by Tony Bag O Donuts Saturday, Oct 24, 2009 943 days ago

It runs fine as is even with BBM 5.0

Why cripple the device...almost like when people install new windows OS with the min requirements. You know you will upgrade your memory, video card, etc.

 
 
Posted by dgs2000 Saturday, Oct 24, 2009 943 days ago

5.0 leak I used makes the 8330 a better device... less memory, but better device overall.

 
 
Posted by ru1611 Saturday, Oct 24, 2009 943 days ago

What is so much better?

 
 
Posted by dgs2000 Saturday, Oct 24, 2009 943 days ago

Threaded SMS is worth it alone, better multimedia (e.g. can play video over BT) better profile options (vib+ring), browser is better at JS and can handle sites such as MLB Premium, newer alarm clock from 4.6 and up, shortcuts like hold bb button to bring up app switcher, camera is faster...

 
 
Posted by bahamot Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 943 days ago

On my 8520 (4.6.1), I can set vibrate and tone. :D

Edit: oops, do you mean older bb don't have it yet on its current os?

 
 
Posted by Tony Bag O Donuts Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 942 days ago

so even though I want threaded sms, it isn't a big deal.
I am still on 4.5.077? and when I last upgraded, it wasn't the best (verizon official os upgrade) so I am staying put.....

 
 
Posted by Joshonthenet Saturday, Oct 24, 2009 943 days ago

I'm curious to see when this update will roll out. I had the leaked version of 5.0 for my Curve 8900 a while back. It was really buggy for me though, so I downgraded.

 
 
Posted by stephen1108 Saturday, Oct 24, 2009 943 days ago

Doesn't it have more 256 MB of flash memory?

 
 
Posted by redheadincognito Saturday, Oct 24, 2009 943 days ago

I feel like the fat kid who always got picked last, but finally got picked not last!

 
 
Posted by JIH2009 Saturday, Oct 24, 2009 943 days ago

They say select providers...is there going to be list of which ones will roll it out? Im a 8900 on Tmobile.

 
 
Posted by ReeBerry Saturday, Oct 24, 2009 943 days ago

I too am really curious, as I have an 8520 on T-Mobile. So it's like a double mystery!

 
 
Posted by Donnje Saturday, Oct 24, 2009 943 days ago

Hope it comes soon! My bold won't load the leaked versions for some reason

 
 
Posted by jonathon_flores Saturday, Oct 24, 2009 943 days ago

a buddy of mine is on his 100th storm..(ok maybe i exaggerated) and he called in to vzw and told them he wanted to pay the ETF and go to AT&T for the iphone bc the storm was a piece of crap. (but in all reality, this NOT what he was going to do)... he demanded them cancel his contract and they sent him to retention hahaha he argued with them and they offered him a tour..he didnt want it. he insisted he pay the ETF but they wouldnt let him..they told him a few new deviced were coming and if he would wait, then they would put him on a new device other than the storm...now while that might seem wrong...do you think he could get away with getting a Storm2?? and if it does work..i know what im doing to get one hahaha

 
 
Posted by NFLBlitze1 Saturday, Oct 24, 2009 943 days ago

are a retard

 
 
Posted by Julran Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 942 days ago

if they really offered him a tour he should have went with that. highly doubt he will be getting a new storm2 for free.

Posted by dtourn90 Saturday, Oct 24, 2009 943 days ago

So by 'Blackberry 8330 smartphones' I hope you mean the 8330m as well, right?

 
 
Posted by Arwaldon4 Saturday, Oct 24, 2009 943 days ago

im def psyched on this finally rolling out. ive had the leaked .230 on my tour b4 then downgraded, and just finished upgrading again in anticipation. was there any word which exact liek upadte file it is? is it gonna be the same as the storm update (5.0.0.312 or something)?

 
 
Posted by marc34 Saturday, Oct 24, 2009 943 days ago

Now that the 8330 is official I may not upgrade my phone for another year

 
 
Posted by reddsmd Saturday, Oct 24, 2009 943 days ago

When you say have more than 64 MB of memory, do you mean Application Memory or Media Card???

Excuse the silly question, but I'm sorta new to this!

Thanks

 
 
Posted by fjerske Saturday, Oct 24, 2009 943 days ago

I saw another list someware that had all the curve series on it. I hope.

 
 
Posted by anoesis Saturday, Oct 24, 2009 943 days ago

According to our business VzW Rep. the upate will occour on the 28th along with the release of the Storm2... How much true to this there is, I don;t know. Only time will tell

 
 
Posted by juliusmarelle Saturday, Oct 24, 2009 943 days ago

Uhm, so I'm hoping the 8330m is included, and not just 8330 devices. I'd be greatly upset if it isn't, because I just bought it about 3/4 months ago.

 
 
Posted by Jeremiah818 Saturday, Oct 24, 2009 943 days ago

Yeah... Anyone know if this 5.0 is good for the 8330m or not?

 
 
Posted by berrynewb76 Saturday, Oct 24, 2009 943 days ago

So when does this biz natch officially come out??

 
 
Posted by wano Saturday, Oct 24, 2009 943 days ago

When is it coming out thooo?

 
 
Posted by BiggPhil Saturday, Oct 24, 2009 943 days ago

Threaded SMS is good, not perfect, Threaded SMS with sms photo id would be perfect. Def moves a lot faster than 4.7, virtually no lag. 5.0 bbm runs better with 5.0 software. i like being able to click the clock and my singal status to bring up options. tried runing a few apple themes but the default theme seems to look and run the best so far. auto text remembers the way u type and will recomend your berry slang witch is great.

Can't wait ti get an offical version as well as my 9550 for free. I have literally had 15 storms since feb. have a trouble ticket that got past tier 3 and into switch support so they offered me a 9550 with no contract extension. it will be shipped on the 28th. just picked up a pair of bluetooth stereo head phones from frys for 25 bucks its gonna be a great berry week!

Posted by Crunch Saturday, Oct 24, 2009 943 days ago

Believe me, you would not want OS 5 on the 8300, 8310, or 8320. It's slow as molasses as it is with 4.5.

At the same time, from a more capitalistic point of view, I'm sure RIM will welcome the Curve owners, 8800 owners, and anyone else holding on to a "out-of-date" BlackBerry to go ahead and buy a new one.

Everyone will have to decide where RIM falls in. I suspect it's a little of both. ;)

 
 
Posted by Sparkmaster Saturday, Oct 24, 2009 943 days ago

My wife's 8330 been running the leaked version of 5.0 for a while.. She loves it..

 
 
Posted by marcosis82 Saturday, Oct 24, 2009 943 days ago

I know it's never fun having to shell out the cash for a new phone but it's also not very fun having a phone that has run it's course. I had the Curve 8330 for 6 months but new the Tour was coming out so I saved up for it and got the Tour and have not regretted it one bit. I knew when I had purchased the Tour that the Storm2 was coming out so again I started saving up $20-$50 a paycheck and am planning on buying that one as well. It may not be fun forking over the $ but it's not hard saving $20-$50 every check either. Save yourself the heartache and just save up for an upgrade. Skip out on fast food and you'll have that money in no time!!!

If I have already installed the leaked .323 on my storm, should I re-upgrade to the official OS? Are they the same exact?

Am i the only one to be excited for the OS5 release for the 8350i? I can't freakin' wait.

 
 
Posted by demonio Saturday, Oct 24, 2009 943 days ago

Knowing Bell Mobility's track record when it comes to releasing software updates for RIM devices, I imagine we probably won't get an official OS release till Q2 2010 or something ridiculous like that. Till then .238 will have to do.

No update for Blackberry 8520 or Gemini?

 
 
Posted by markeymac Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 943 days ago

Good day! its 3pm here in the Philippines. I am using a Blackberry Curve 8900 since july 6 (my bday) of this year. So far i am happy with it except that i miss my Palm Treo threaded messages with comic smiley icon that sum up all your messages in one HEADER displayed on screen. Otherwise i am enjoying the mobile site (not necessarily the APPLICATION per se-- i seem to be prevented by BLACKBERRY.COM just because i am not enrolled to BIS).

The downloads i made which i can successfully use like yahoo,facebook,twitter,my space,google (icon)which directs me to the sites but not really the actual application like the GMAIL ive downloaded it but i cant open it coz THE FEEDBACK I get everytime I try to connect or access the M icon that sits in my blackberry homescreen is--i have to have a data connections. FYI I am just using a wi-fi at home where I also hold my business. Therefore the downloads I have for this email and soc network page don't look exactly like the STANDARD WEBSITE look like the one my friend has who is enrolled in BIS and has a postpaid simcard from our carrier (Globe Telecom - Philippines).

I am just using a prepaid simcard (globe Telecom-Philippines)which according to them,they don't give me the privilege to enroll to BIS.Only those who are postpaid subscribers can AVAIL and are supported(unfair huh?) thats why the downloads i have are just bookmarks of the sites (like facebook, yahoo, twitter, google etc) that just brings or directs me to the sites but the page doesn't look like when you open it in your laptop wherein you will see who's on line etc.

NOW, my questions are:

1. WHEN IS EXACTLY THE ROLL OUT DATE of this O.S 5 (not the beta)? but the CONFIRMED WORKING O.S 5

2. WHERE WILL I DOWNLOAD IT? I ASSUMED here in Crackberry Site that's why i registered. Or is there any other site?Will Blackberry.com allow me to download itand me to open and access it after downloading knowing I AM NOT on BIS. I trust Crackberry would be more FAIR.

My concern though is, am not enrolled in BIS? but i am able to download stuff OTA using my wi-fi. AM I ASSURED that once I've downloaded the O.S 5 that i can use it even if i dont have a data connection to BIS since i am a prepaid user? what if its just sit in my homescreen but would NOT allow me again to open coz it will prompt me to have a data connection? HELP PLS ensure that regardless if BIS enrolled or not it should work.

3. WHAT WILL HAPPEN to the info data like messages, files Ive saved in my bb curve and downloads i made using my current O.S of 4.6 ---once O.S 5 is downloaded? ARE THEY GONNA BE DELETED? that would be an ISSUE and FRUSTRATING.
I TRUST installation/downloading of O.S 5 WONT DELETE or clear or my files? ITS VERY IMPORTANT for me to know THE EFFECTS.

FYI, so far the only downloads that's working in my bb curve 8900 using a prepaid simcard and i am allowed to access are the ones i made from GETJAR.com. The ones I have downloaded from your site (the very first ones) were successfully downloaded but wouldnt work in my blackberry curve 8900 coz it requires me to have a data connection...first sigh :-( the only one working application that I have downloaded from your site is the YOU TUBE.

I WISH, you would PAY ATTENTION AND CARE FOR US also who are on prepaid simcard but using legit blackberry phones. YOu see i cannot just change my prepaid sim as its been with me since 2003 and its the no.known to my friends and clients.

TRUSTING for your immediate attention and action to this appeal and request to ALLOW us blackbbery with simcard prepaid users without data connection to BIS to be allowed to open and use the applications we have downloaded from your site. I REALLY LIKE your list of apps...

Thank you for reading and sorry if this message is kinda long. I just had to give you a background and my sentiments.

ALL THE BEST TO CRACKBERRY...and looking forward to your reply asap. pls email me at markey6122003@yahoo.com

regards,
markeymac

Hi! its me again markeymac. Hope Crackberry would find a way to mediate with Blackberry.com to allow blackberry devise user to open/access the successfully downloaded applications from their site without requiring us (blackberry devise user with PREPAID SIMCARD from our respective carrier) to be on BIS.

Looking forward to your update on this.

many thanks,

Thanks for the article. I needed some info on OS upgradation.

 
 
Posted by cory6585 Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 942 days ago

So we got a list from RIM that is awesome!! Thanks Kevin!!! But now how about a date? I heard three things last night at 7:00 PM eastern time (which didn't happen). I have heard today and tomorrow. Anyone heard anything different?

 
 
Posted by dreedy1 Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 942 days ago

We all know that Storm 9530's OS update is scheduled for tomorrow the 26th....is the OS going to be released for all models listed on the same day or down the line? Anyone know????

 
 
Posted by dnaifeh Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 942 days ago

is the official 5.0 for the tour out? where can i get it and is it for verizon . appreciate if u could help me out

 
 
Posted by cory6585 Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 942 days ago

check out Kevin's review above, as long as your phone is listed above then you will be getting the new 5.0 OS upgrade. As of when well I think that is the number 1 question right now

 
 
Posted by fostermom298 Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 942 days ago

wondering if the update increase the memory and will it open wifi

 
 
Posted by cory6585 Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 942 days ago

I can tell you that the new OS 5.0 will require MORE memory. I think it is worth the loss of memory for the upgraded OS. Go to youtube and check out some of the videos from the leaked OS's if all of that stuff is included in offical 5.0 release, then I can't wait!!!

 
 
Posted by boatincpt Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 942 days ago

I know this is a dumb question, but is the 9500 Series Storm upgrade good for the 9530 Storm as well...

 
 
Posted by cory6585 Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 942 days ago

9500 series that means ALL storms that start with 95 are good to go

Doc ID: KB17984

That should be the entry that Kevin made.

I'm not entirely impressed with the last bit of that KB article. It basically eludes to the carriers having an option to not support the updated OS. This gives a predicament for those carriers who are expecting Storm 2 and Bold 9700, and they carry all these updatable devices. Do they support the OS (resulting in people holding onto their devices longer), or do they let people lag behind so they pay to upgrade and have the best and latest?

Oh, and those who have had problems posting in the forums, clear your cookies. As mentioned earlier, there were some upgrades that caused some problems with any of your cookies left on your computer. Clear 'em, and then you should be fine logging back in.

whats more important to me is the date of the 5.0 release..

 
 
Posted by lucblanchet Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 942 days ago

So I opened my desktop manager for my pc and found the new OS 5.0 and installed it. Great. But then the BB App World won't open, it can't connect to the BB server!! Also a theme that I've been using for a while now looks different, it's the today version and in the message part of it, it looks like this "N1109.."(not exactly that way but you get what I mean). Then I went on the BB website and checked the available software from my service provider, in my case Telus Mobility, and the supported software is 4.5.169...WTF?? Anybody else having the same issue with Telus? I'm unfortunately downgrading back to 4.5...:-(

 
 
Posted by cory6585 Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 942 days ago

I just got off the phone with verizon tech support and she told me the blackberry storm 5.0 was release today and I had to go to www.blackberry.com/storm/upgrade to download the new software, that no OTA was allowed for this. I am trying now it did prompt me to download a new application loader. I will let you know how I might out

***UPDATE***
I tried but no go, it still only shows me 4.7 not the new 5.0 not sure what verizon tech support was talking about but it must not be out at this time but I hope she was right and she told me it was released today

 
 
Posted by BiggPhil Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 942 days ago

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS GO TO DESKTOP MANAGER, RUN APP LOADER AND CHECK FOR UPDATES! SIMPLE READ OTHER PEOPLES POST! BEEN RUNNING SINCE 1036PM PST LAST NIGHT!

 
 
Posted by cory6585 Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 942 days ago

what carrier are you on? I have tried this many time already and the OS 5.0 is not their. I am on Verizon Wireless

 
 
Posted by cory6585 Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 942 days ago

This time I got the real information, looks like the first lady I spoke with didn't know what the deal was. THIS OS 5.0 WAS RELEASED TODAY BUT, will not be avaiable for download until 6:00 PM tonight, here is the kicker after asking many reps while I was on the phone no one is sure if it will be eastern time or not. So as of now ACCORDING TO VERIZON TECH SUPPORT the Storm 5.0 OS will be out today at 6:00 PM just not sure of the time zone (verizon corp. is in eastern time zone)

 
 
Posted by Jejoro Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 942 days ago

When and which carriers would be great info, Verizon has told their people when. So how about the rest of us out there on the other carriers!!! I tired of my BB its time to switch to an Iphone!!!

 
 
Posted by lucblanchet Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 942 days ago

I'm starting to feel the same way, I'm with Telus and they will get the iphone soon'ish.

 
 
Posted by Jejoro Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 942 days ago

That is who I'm with right now and since they are getting the Iphone I wont have to leave. 15yrs with the same carrier and never missed a payment they bend over backwards for you so free Iphone here I come...!

 
 
Posted by Jejoro Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 942 days ago

...

 
 
Posted by cory6585 Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 942 days ago

Reading through the fourms here some people on other carriers have already got it since 10:00 PM last night. I understand the whole Iphone thing but here in the States, AT&T handles the iphone and if you look at their 3G map they have WHOLE states without any coverage at all. My buddy at work here has the 32 GB 3GS and he drops calls all of the time, awesome phone but horrible service.

 
 
Posted by Jejoro Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 942 days ago

Telus Rocks and teamed with Bell for Service anywhere and everywhere across Canada. Rogers claims to have a better service but they are like At&t... So Iphone on Telus should make the Iphone an even better phone all round. The phone it should have been since day one...!

Posted by Danieldenial Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 942 days ago

I don't know if it's just me, but I just got my storm and it already came with 5.0.0.323 and it's not the storm 2, so i dunno?!?

 
 
Posted by cory6585 Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 942 days ago

That is awesome!! When did you get your Storm?

 
 
Posted by Danieldenial Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 942 days ago

I just got it on Friday, I work at Best Buy and I was due for an upgrade... they asked me if I wanted the Storm or the Storm 2, I got the Storm only bc it was $50 as opposed to $299.. and I love it, the only difference is the exterior design and WiFi as far as I can tell

I guess this is the end of the road for the 8130.It was my first Blackberry phone and my best phone,don't know what I will replace it with on the Verizon network.

 
 
Posted by Oilersboy Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 942 days ago

I just found out not all wireless carriers will support OS 5.0 and just a few carriers will support that but wait and see in a couple of days from now which carriers will support 5.0 for blackberries

 
 
Posted by Seraph2029 Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 942 days ago

so if they are saying the 8330 is getting the update, would it be ok to assume that they are also gona make a version for the 8330m?

wat exactly does a upgrade do

 
 
Posted by cory6585 Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 942 days ago

An upgrade adds features to your phone, fixes bugs that might have caused problems in the past. Tries to improve the whole usage of the phone while adding new "features"

Posted by cory6585 Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 942 days ago

I haven't heard anything about Sprint/Nextel, I hope this isn't true for you but I did read on the RIM website that not all carriers will be issuing the OS 5.0 build to their blackberrys. I am not sure how you can find out if your carrier will be issuing the OS upgrade or not. I called Verizon's tech support and asked them.

 
 
Posted by MrShawn Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 942 days ago

I am Verizon, but its an Alltel BlackBerry (merger)

Verizon is releasing the 5.0 OS upgrade to ALL blackberrys at 6:00 PM eastern time (they didn't know what time zone so I am saying eastern time zone) BUT your blackberry must be on the list that Kevin posted above in order to get the OS 5.0 upgrade

Posted by cory6585 Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 942 days ago

I called verizon tech support twice today to ask about the OS upgrade for the storm. The fist time the tech rep told me that it was released today and to go to www.blackberry.com\storm\update to upgrade my phone. The second call because the above didn't work they said it wasn't unti 6:00 PM that it would be avaiable for download and that OTA was not allowed. I asked what time zone and after asking many reps they were unable to confirm a time zone. I am GUESSING since verizon corp is in a eastern time zone that it is 6:00 PM eastern

Posted by MSKRCOLES Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 942 days ago

Hi You guys! Just checking in. I did speak to a very nice Tech this evening. I even was disconnected about 3 times going thru the country and each he called back. What I learned is somethings told on here can be be very much off base. I asked first about the upgrade. I have the Tour. I wanted to know about the rumor of the Storm getting the upgrade today, and what about the others. He said the OS Update definitely was approved already. So yes it is ready for delivery. He thought it would have been out since friday. But, it didn't release then. So he said he felt it will definitely be out from anytime now thru the next days or so. He said it will more than likely be for the storm and tour the same time, then the rest if not then, following shortly. He did say that ota air update is possible if you have available memory. Because the tour has more than the storm, so it definitley capable depending on how much you have loaded on your device. He said the size of this update is about like what's on our phones. And that he believed this is so because some people did updates on the older storms before ota. He did say that if you waited for ota you would be behind everyone else already updated by about a month. This is because Rim system would be over loaded, if everyone did it ota as soon as the update was available. So he said you are best to keep check and do it by the desktop software. Now, I asked about the storm2 release! He said they truley dont know the date. They will sometimes walk in for work and there is a new phones being released that day. He said that's so that they will not tell then, people be heated when a change comes along. If they do get wind of a date it isn't far from release. They have been training on it though. So it wont be long. So happy waiting guys, ain't long as it has been for sure.

I downloaded the leak a week ago. Will this be the same OS or should I go ahead and re-download the official release?

Honestly, at 1st I thought more BlackBerry users (general public) was going to be sweet. I was wrong. It's only caused me more stress and headaches. 5.0 will be out when it's out... If you're curious if your device is going to get an update to 5.0, try this out... When it's officially released (presuming there isn't already a leak for 5.0 for your device, that's usually a really good indicator wether your device is supported or not) see if there's a version offerd furrrrr yerrrrr F0nEz0Яzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Posted by MSKRCOLES Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 942 days ago

I believe the only phone that has gotten an update is the storm cause when I checked each on the verizon software updater, it is the only one showing the update ready. The rest are the old OS.
