Gotta love our CrackBerry forums members. Just got an anonymous email from one of em who wishes to remain that way that OS 5.0.0.402 for the BlackBerry Storm 9500 is now up for grabs. No further information about the OS is available but it should be on par with the other releases of .402 we have seen. If that is indeed the case, should be pretty solid for you 9500 owners. You know how it is, disclaimer applicable, enjoy! Be sure to leave your comments here and in the forums folks!
*OS Disclaimer - Please Read: Keep in mind this is NOT an official release and as such is not supported by RIM or your Carrier. If you choose to install, do so at your own risk and only if you're comfortable in the process of upgrading and downgrading your device software. It is quite normal during operating system development for certain features to be crippled or disabled while others are tested, and these beta builds often reflect that. They are not always better. Depending on your BlackBerry comfort level, it may be best for you to wait for community feedback on a build before deciding to download and install for yourself or simply wait for the next official release. If you require support, you will find it in our CrackBerry forums via our extremely knowledgeable community base - do not contact your carrier or RIM for Beta OS technical support (their first course of action will be to advise you to downgrade to a supported OS). Follow the links below for more information and instructions. *
