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?

By: elusiveaura | Date: Sun, 10/25/2009 - 21:17

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

By: blacktoothberry | Date: Sun, 10/25/2009 - 22:46

its not leaked

By: xantius | Date: Sun, 10/25/2009 - 23:19

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

By: vic_machu19 | Date: Mon, 10/26/2009 - 03:54

By: borderpatrol1987 | Date: Mon, 10/26/2009 - 09:38

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

By: othersfirst | Date: Sun, 10/25/2009 - 21:18

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

By: bakerskater010 | Date: Sun, 10/25/2009 - 21:20

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

By: Neotide87 | Date: Sun, 10/25/2009 - 21:20

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

By: LadyBug1383 | Date: Sun, 10/25/2009 - 21:21

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

By: hairy blackberry | Date: Sun, 10/25/2009 - 21:18

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

By: nextyear | Date: Sun, 10/25/2009 - 21:19

By: dweasel36 | Date: Sun, 10/25/2009 - 21:19

By: AndrewLjubi | Date: Sun, 10/25/2009 - 21:20

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.

By: phreddyl | Date: Sun, 10/25/2009 - 21:20

Me too! very cool!

By: NewLife | Date: Sun, 10/25/2009 - 21:20

Congratulations!

By: Nash_Vegas | Date: Sun, 10/25/2009 - 21:20

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

By: Neotide87 | Date: Sun, 10/25/2009 - 21:22

By: kbibyjr | Date: Sun, 10/25/2009 - 21:21

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

By: dsvc1989 | Date: Sun, 10/25/2009 - 21:45

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!

By: StreetDocRN | Date: Sun, 10/25/2009 - 21:21

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

Doc

By: Neotide87 | Date: Sun, 10/25/2009 - 21:24

Um this is the official...

By: hairy blackberry | Date: Sun, 10/25/2009 - 21:30

By: StreetDocRN | Date: Sun, 10/25/2009 - 21:46

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

By: cipher978 | Date: Sun, 10/25/2009 - 21:21

By: BuckyBoy | Date: Sun, 10/25/2009 - 21:21

I thought I was heading for bed! Oh well, I can sleep when I'm dead.

By: bakerskater010 | Date: Sun, 10/25/2009 - 21:22
