bold-javelin-50

We all know that RIM has been working on OS 5.0 for a while, but it finally looks like someone has leaked OS 5.0 for the BlackBerry Bold 9000 and Curve 8900. These OS’ are extremely early beta copies and not designed for every day use. It’s recommended that this OS 5.0 should only be used for beta testing software. If you feel like testing out OS 5.0.0.90 on either of these devices make sure you do a full backup before installing.

Download OS 5.0.0.90 for BlackBerry Bold 9000 >

Download OS 5.0.0.90 for BlackBerry Curve 8900 >

With any luck we will see OS 5.0 launch early next month at RIM’s WES (Wireless Enterprise Symposum) 2009. Stay tuned…

OS 5.0 gets sneak peak on BlackBerry Curve 8900!

BlackBerry OS 5.0 is yet to be leaked on to the internet, but RIM has been busy testing it away on many of their current lineup. A fan over at CrackBerry managed to take a video showing off a version of OS 5.0 running on a BlackBerry Curve 8900. Apparently most BlackBerry devices including the Bold, Curve 8900 and the unreleased 9630 should all see their OS’ updated to 5.0. So stay tuned in the upcoming months for those to start getting leaked ;) then officially released.

And here’s a video to go along with it…

New Live Pictures of the BlackBerry Niagara 9630!!

Kevin from CrackBerry has just obtained a couple new shots of the un-released CDMA BlackBerry code-named Niagara. If you don’t know about “Niagara” its the Bold/Curve 8900 crossover, which is expected to launch on most CDMA networks in North America later on this year. Finally we got to see the device up close including shots of the back. One thing I’m sad about is they decided not to put the leather back on this like the Bold. Maybe that will change?
