Verizon BlackBerry Curve 8530 OS Update On the Way?

check the link

Does anyone know what "message enhancements" it fixes?

Like the text being off the screen at times, or when it says you have a new text, you can preview it by going into messages but when you click the message its white, and blank. You have to "Clear chat" then have the person re send the message.

It's a pain in the ass.

WHAT ABOUT THE STORM 2 USERS I MEAN WE BEEN WAITING FOR A UPDATE FOR THE A WHILE NOW.

I'm hoping the update will make it better for the video streaming. I noticed when I'm watching videos when a text message comes in, it interrupts what I'm watching & it has to start all over again! Anyone know if there's a way to turn off text msgs or a program or something so it doesn't interrupt the Vcast Videos or the YouTube videos?

Any suggestions would be great!

awesome! i feel bad for the Tour users though. hey i'll take improved battery life any day. i hope they update all these phones on a regular basis now.

I loved my 8530. But the battery was horrible. The 28th day after I got it, after new batteries, OS reinstall, changing screen settings, going bare bones, etc., I went through 3 batteries in one day. I was in Milwaukee, which is a large city and lots of towers. As much as I liked the phone, I ditched it for Storm 2. Glad I did, but this update would have kept me in it.

The 8530 needs some love shown to it. I mean, hell, try finding a good theme that is made for 8530. From what I have seen the 8530 is like the "step child" of the Blackberry family. Even if it is the step child...I still love mine.

I like this. It might be enough to force AT&T to finally offically role out 5.0 for the 8900. that means VVM for the 8900.

What about the 9530?

Still waiting on the update for my Jitterbug phone!! All it does is make and receive calls.

never experienced an OS update but I guess it's pretty exciting. can't wait

Did anyone mentioned that the 9630 hasn't gotten an update yet!?! lol

I posted on twitter last week that OS 5.0.0.508 would be released for Verizon in the next few days.

Man, I'm getting drunk off all the whiny tour owners! Put .419 on your tour! The OS works just fine! I've had it on mine since MTS went official with it. Nobody cares what you do or don't have, they only worry about themselves, and nobody on a crackberry forum is gonna influence VZW! SHUT UP!!!!!!!

RED DRAGONS!!!!!!!!

and once again the 8350i is left out in the cold ... we need the update as promised as well to fix all the issues with current OS.

I want another update for my 8530 on Sprint! Come on, people!!!

i'm seriously considering just buying an android device.

as tour owners, this has to be like the 10th time we've gotten totally screwed.

Vzw is treating the Tour like the Curve 8330! No 5.0!!!

Ok it's great that the release coming out, but really about putting the release for all VZ bb's! How long must everyone wait?

maybe this is the start of a new round of OS releases!? please S2 next!!

Still waiting on the official for the storm 2

I feel bad for yall Tour owners! Thats like a slap in the face!

:Verizon Tour Owner Shaking His Fist:

Hmmm....a 5.0 update for the 8530 which is 2 months old and still nothing for the 9630. BITE ME Verizon....grrr!

Simplified lock-key function <--Guess they never read my post,lmao!
