If you're still hanging on to that old reliable Bold 9000 you're in luck today as AT&T has officially released OS 5.0.0.822. We don't often talk about the 9000, but I know there are plenty of you who refuse to let it go. By now you are most likely running a leaked 5.0 or one from another carrier, but if you're on AT&T today is your day. Head over to the software downloads page...
If you're a Storm 2 9520 owner you'll wanna set aside a few minutes to check out the latest leak. OS 5.0.0.612 has just hit the internet for all to grab. At this point, we're not sure if it's a DRM version or not so we'll leave that for you all to figure out. Let us know in the comments and as always, back up your data before you load this one up. *OS Disclaimer - Please Read: Keep...
While the most recent leak for the BlackBerry Curve 8520 placed the OS at 5.0.0.554, OS 5.0.0.592 has now shown up on the WIND Hellas website for 8520 users to download. If you've been running the leaked version it might be a good idea to get this one downloaded and installed. Also, 8900 owners can grab the same OS. As always, remember to back up your device before loading as well, make...
OS 5.0.0.586 has gone official for anyone who was hesitant to use a leaked OS release. Seems to be a fairly standard thing these days. Leak and then go official on some carrier. This time around COSMOTE was first out the gates with it. Best to read up in CrackBerry forums to see if any issues have been found within this release. Seems a lot of the officials being approved still have...
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...
Just in case you weren't feeling the .571 leak previously posted here is a newer version for all you BlackBerry Tour 9630 owners to check out. Again, not positive on how close this one is to the upcoming Verizon release but it's here now and given the last one had BBM .65 in it, pretty sure Verizon wouldn't release that. Might as well give it a run through and see how it works. You guys...
And just in case you thought the leaks were over, here's another for BlackBerry Storm 2 9520 owners. OS 5.0.0.553 has just been posted over at BBLeaks. Again, we're still waiting for feedback on this OS release but it's there for those who want to check it out. Back up your data before you load up and you're good to go. *OS Disclaimer - Please Read: Keep in mind this is NOT an...
Amidst all the OS leaks going on it seems some folks have found that the Tour OS contained the latest BlackBerry Messenger release. After being extracted and an OTA made, you can now download BlackBerry Messenger 5.0.0.65. Of course, this is to be treated just like any other leaked item in the fact caution is urged when loading it. Be sure to back up your current contacts database....
Someone must have fired the plumber at RIM cause this is just getting kinda crazy now. Here is something for all you BlackBerry Bold 9700 owners. OS 5.0.0.566 just dropped. Overall the response for this one is that it has been solid so far. So give it a shot and see how ya feel about it. And yet again, make sure you back up your data before you load this one. *OS Disclaimer - Please...
Leaks galore!! We know from all this Push to talk on Verizon news now that some variation of OS 5.0 for the BlackBerry Tour 9630 is coming to Verizon soon. Since we're not exactly sure which version it will be, we figured we couldn't go wrong in posting OS 5.0.0.571. It will either be the OS that shows up for Verizon or it will most likely be higher than that of the version released by...
So much for the slow BlackBerry news. Yesterday we saw OS 5.0.0.554 leak for the BlackBerry Bold 9000 and the BlackBerry Curve 8900. Not to be left in the dark, here we have the leaked version of the same for the BlackBerry Curve 8520. No idea what exactly has changed in this relase so we'll leave that up to you all. Be sure to back up your data folks, but I'm sure you guys already knew...
Now, we know the BlackBerry news has been rather slow these days. But we always try to bring you all the best of what we can on the BlackBerry front. Today however, this is the best we could come up with in order to keep you all happy. You all don't mind some OS leakage do ya's? Naww, you guys don't mind. Standard disclaimer applies, back up your data before loading folks. Enjoy! *OS...
As we reported a few days back now, the official Verizon update to the BlackBerry Curve 8530 OS has been released. Users can now get all official like with OS 5.0.0.508. Verizon seems to have been dead on with this update while other devices and for that matter, other platforms such as Android, have seen OS related delays. One can only hope that the previously mentioned Tour OS/PTT...
BlackBerry Storm 2 (9550) owners can now get in on some update love. SaskTel has just release OS 5.0.0.517 for you all. We haven't got much feedback to offer on this release. So you guys know the drill, let us know in the comments what the deal is with the OS release. And remeber, back up your data and remove any vendor.xml files ya find if SaskTel is not your carrier. Enjoy!...
It's almost as if Research In Motion and Vodafone had this one scheduled huh? As we mentioned back when it leaked, OS 5.0.0.545 hit that "Gold" status we were expecting. The one time leaked OS gone official is now available for download from the Vodafone UK website. If you never made use of the leaked version maybe you'll wanna try the official on for size. As always, if Vodafone isn't...
Addonis is an application that brings the features of 5 or 6 apps, into 1. Its features include an autolock, SMS signature, "Send To" options, along with many different phone features and integration. Bla1ze recently posted on the AddOnis update bringing OS 5.0 support. This update also is the first to take advantage of the new lock/standbye features found in the recent builds of OS 5.0...
As spotted in the forums, if you are on TELUS and fanatical about running nothing but a carrier released OS you can now get your hands on OS 5.0.0.442. Previously leaked then released on other carriers this one has been around for a while now. But, not everyone likes to run non official, non carrier released OS' so enjoy. Download The Official OS 5.0.0.442 For The BlackBerry Bold...
Yesterday, Boy Genius dropped some whispers hinting that the long awaited OS 5.0 update for the BlackBerry Tour 9630 was coming in the next 2-3 weeks and that it was also bringing a new Push To Talk feature. As it turns out, the files needed for that new data plan using push to talk features has been turning up in the past two OS leaks for Tour owners. And from info gathered in the...
It seems a lot of users have noticed this with the most recent OS' released. Kind of weird for it to be removed really, as many users actually enjoyed having the function there. Now that it's gone, many folks have been calling blaming it on a bug. Fact is folks, it's not a bug it's actually intended. As The RIM knowledge base states: In earlier BlackBerry Device Software versions...
The folks at Twinkler software have let us know they completed the process of getting AddOnis working on devices running OS 5.0. Not only did they get it working correctly but they also managed to work in the new standby and lock features seen in the most recent OS 5.0 versionsl. The change log for this one depends on what OS it is that you are running on your device. Some of the...
What a great start to the day. We've known for some time this OS was floating around out there, even heard that this one had hit "Gold Candidate" for release to carriers. Now, thanks to a CrackBerry forums member who wished to remain anonymous you can now check out the release yourself. As always, be sure to back up your data before you load this one onto your device gold candidate or...
BBLeaks is at it again and has given some Friday joy to the BlackBerry world with a leaked OS 5.0.0.530 for the Tour 9630. This is a pretty big leap from the last Tour OS we saw, but still not that "official version" everyone is looking for. Hit the links below to download, and be sure to drop a comment and let us know your findings. Please Note: Keep in mind this is NOT an official...
