* Update 3: LOL.. that was fun for 24 minutes. LOOKS LIKE THE OFFICIAL IS UP! Check your Desktop Manager Software! *
* Update 2: Looks like megaupload is letting the file download again... keep tabs on the comments in case the link doesn't work for you anymore *
* Update: wow... looks like megaupload has some sort of attack system in place. The .238 file got 243 downloads in about 30 seconds, and I think we must have tripped some sort of hacker attack alert as they've temporarily suspended the file (it's still in the account). Watch the comments below for download mirrors. *
So it's Sunday night, October 25th, and we know BlackBerry Storm 9530 owners are sitting on CrackBerry by the thousands waiting for Verizon to officially release OS 5.0.0.32x for the BlackBerry Storm 9530. Leaked info leading up to the this official release has been kind of weird... sometimes stating the official version would be 5.0.0.323 (which we already leaked the other day) and other times stating .328. Some info put the push at 7pm EST tonight, which has passed, the change log puts it at 10pm EST (any minute now) so in true CrackBerry fashion we've dug up the goods for you so you can get a head start. At the link below we've actually got two newer 5.0 builds... 5.0.0.327 and 5.0.0.328. They're both running the same platform version (4.2.0.128) so are likely near identical, so it's probably best to go for .328 but you can try them both out if you like.
The official Verizon release should drop any minute or hour now, so even hardcore Stormies shouldn't feel bad if at this point they want to hold out for the update to come through BDM. But if you want it now, you can grab the latest and greatest below!

holy sh*t
Now your powerful Ninjas need to dig up the latest stuff for the other devices...I'd like to request 8330! :)
Happy installing Storm users!
Great, Thanks!
EVIL!!!
I love CB. Cant get enough!
Will it work for the tour?
Storm 9530 ONLY. firmware is device dependent. not a one OS fits all.
Kevin....any offical or projected word yet on the OS 5.0 update for the Tour on VZW?
Will it work for the tour?
srsly?
Thank you very much!! :)
lolol woot
so is this the .exe we can shrink?
It was 7pm PST. Which would be 10pm EST.
Definitely tired of waiting..
Awesome!!
All hail the mighty Crackberry! Now I wont have to dig up the OS folder that DM creates :D
Its says not available temporary on Megaupload and what is diff between .327 and .328?
IM JUST SO HAPPY LOL
To those downloading this, please be kind, and create a mirror of it for others :)
Thanks Crackberry! .328 link down... anyone have a mirror?
Says file not available...
Does anyone have a review of this update for the Storm and how it will make text input easier/better? I switched from the curve a month ago, and I hate typing on the storm. I am a business user and made the crucial mistake switching to the storm. Think I will be going to the tour soon if this update doesnt help. Or the DROID. Hopefully this makes typing easier.
i cant DL 328 it says unavailable i think we overloaded megaupload lol
Says it's temporarily not available.
sez its temporarily unavailable!? and whats the diff between the two?
its down
The file you are trying to access is temporarily unavailable.
still loading... just slow. think we overwhelmed it.
hmm.. never mind. we overwhelmed megaupload. can access it when logged into the account but not when logged out.
I got it to work. Just had to refresh a few times
i know Storm owners have waited forever, but how about some Tour love too?!?
wooohoo... thanks kevin
Just be patient, there's a lot of people trying to get this file. close the page and try the link again.. Worked for me.. im 15% through the download already.
.328 says The file you are trying to access is temporarily unavailable.
Downloading now will post later
downloading the 328 now. first half of the download it was steady at 1mb/sec but then slowed down to about 300 kb/sec
Keep getting an error message that "another installation is in progress" and then the install error message loops. Nothing else running ... hmmmm, corrupt download from Megauploaud??
Sure sounds like it ...
First download was obviously corrupted. Now loaded up and running on Storm. So far, so good.
Duped again. After 9pm CDT and no upgrade. I figured as much. Goodnight as I have a real job that starts at 4am and I am done waiting on Verizon to fart. Thanks CB for the leaked links.
Verizon's is up now, in case anyone was waiting for the "official" release.
WHere? I don't see it?
