OS 5.0.0.327 and OS 5.0.0.328 for the BlackBerry Storm 9530

* 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!

Will it work for the tour?

Posted by Kevin Michaluk Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 836 days ago

Storm 9530 ONLY. firmware is device dependent. not a one OS fits all.

Posted by dreedy1 Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 836 days ago

Posted by Jared DiPane Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 836 days ago

To those downloading this, please be kind, and create a mirror of it for others :)

Posted by Mad-Scientist Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 836 days ago

Thanks Crackberry! .328 link down... anyone have a mirror?

Posted by 77rramos Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 836 days ago

Says file not available...

Posted by mklear Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 836 days ago

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.

Posted by dvlmn Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 836 days ago

i cant DL 328 it says unavailable i think we overloaded megaupload lol

Posted by Camel_Back Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 836 days ago

Says it's temporarily not available.

Posted by boman06210 Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 836 days ago

sez its temporarily unavailable!? and whats the diff between the two?

Posted by 92slammer Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 836 days ago

its down

The file you are trying to access is temporarily unavailable.

Posted by Kevin Michaluk Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 836 days ago

still loading... just slow. think we overwhelmed it.

Posted by Kevin Michaluk Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 836 days ago

hmm.. never mind. we overwhelmed megaupload. can access it when logged into the account but not when logged out.

Posted by rip14 Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 836 days ago

I got it to work. Just had to refresh a few times

Posted by ds28 Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 836 days ago

i know Storm owners have waited forever, but how about some Tour love too?!?

Posted by lxplaya1 Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 836 days ago

wooohoo... thanks kevin

Posted by Nathan79 Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 836 days ago

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.

Posted by Happy_Killmore Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 836 days ago

.328 says The file you are trying to access is temporarily unavailable.

Posted by TootNBerry Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 836 days ago

Downloading now will post later

Posted by Hybrid4830 Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 836 days ago

downloading the 328 now. first half of the download it was steady at 1mb/sec but then slowed down to about 300 kb/sec

Posted by karlac Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 836 days ago

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 ...

Posted by karlac Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 836 days ago

First download was obviously corrupted. Now loaded up and running on Storm. So far, so good.

Posted by Emtronics Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 836 days ago

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.

Posted by whiteberry133 Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 836 days ago

Verizon's is up now, in case anyone was waiting for the "official" release.
