Verizon Officially Releases OS 5.0.0.328 For The BlackBerry Storm 9530!

Verizon OS Release

Finally, the waiting and anticipation is over. Verizon has started pushing OS 5.0.0.328 to BlackBerry Desktop Manager for all Storm owners to install 24 minutes after we leaked it. If you haven't gotten the alert already it's time to fire up BlackBerry Desktop Manager Software (you too Mac users!) and see if it's there waiting for you. It's now up at http://vzw.smithmicro.com/blackberry/ as well.

OS 5.0 brings with it some significant changes to the OS and should correct a lot of issues some of you were having with your BlackBerry Storm 9530's and being an official OS you can load it without any worries of running beta software. Already got it loaded up? What do you think of it? How is it working for you? Let us know in the forums or in the comments. Now the question remains. How long will it be before we see other carriers hop on board and start releasing 5.0 for other devices?

Downloading the leaked .328 you leaked 30 mins ago. No difference in this and what they have on DM, correct?

 
 
Posted by blacktoothberry Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 830 days ago

i wanted to post it where most people can see it:

http://appstore.vzw.com.edgesuite.net/download/firmware/BB9530MR3/9530AM...

i don't know if it's displaying properly, and i don't know how to post it as a link, so i'll paste it in sections:

http://appstore.vzw.com.edgesuite.net/
download/firmware/BB9530MR3/
9530AMEA_PBr5_1_.0.0_rel508_PL4.2.0.128_A5.0.0.328.exe

i hope you can figure out what goes where...

- installed it in 15 mins (includes the reboots, backup & restore)

- voice dialing still doesn't seem to work tho

Posted by borderpatrol1987 Monday, Oct 26, 2009 830 days ago

Everytime there was a leak for the 8900,9000, or hell, anything. Storm whiners were there complaining about how it was not for them.

What about mac? It's not showing up in Mac Desktop?!?!?!

 
 
Posted by bakerskater010 Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 831 days ago

shows up in mine....force quit and reopen

 
 
Posted by Neotide87 Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 831 days ago

It showed up instantly for me. Close Desktop manager and plug in BB and it should load DM up and that is when it prompted me for new updates available

 
 
Posted by LadyBug1383 Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 831 days ago

Shut down DM for Mac and restart it, and it should pop up.

 
 
Posted by hairy blackberry Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 831 days ago

i told you it would come out between 7-7:30 pst

 
 
Posted by nextyear Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 831 days ago

Posted by allboutvzwStorm Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 831 days ago

Give or take a few minutes

 
 
Posted by allboutvzwStorm Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 831 days ago

Posted by Neotide87 Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 831 days ago

Posted by AndrewLjubi Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 831 days ago

My download started off fast and is crawling along now - I'm sure BB's servers are getting slammed with people that want a storm that works.

 
 
Posted by phreddyl Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 831 days ago

Me too! very cool!

 
 
Posted by NewLife Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 831 days ago

Congratulations!

 
 
Posted by Nash_Vegas Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 831 days ago

DM's working it's magic... it's stuck on downloading 346 modules, probably tons of traffic right now.

 
 
Posted by Neotide87 Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 831 days ago

lol yea hopefully their server doesnt crash with the overload in downloads

 
 
Posted by kbibyjr Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 831 days ago

I wish AT&T was this quick to push out OS5.0 for the Bold. Have fun Storm owners :(

 
 
Posted by dsvc1989 Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 831 days ago

I wish AT&T had 5.0 out already for the Bold too. I haven't even been able to test out a beta bc i use a Mac.

Othersfirst, I had an issue where my DM wasnt showing the update after it was supposedly released. Tryed restarting the DM and still no luck. Rebooted the whole system and then it came right up, worth a try. Hope you get it!

 
 
Posted by StreetDocRN Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 831 days ago

Hey, maybe Verizon will treat us for Halloween and give us the 5.0 upgrade officially. We will see this week.

Doc

 
 
Posted by Neotide87 Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 831 days ago

Um this is the official...

 
 
Posted by hairy blackberry Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 831 days ago

Posted by StreetDocRN Sunday, Oct 25, 2009 831 days ago

I meant to say for us Tour owners...sorry. Left that big word out the post.
