Thread: Official OS: BlackBerry Curve 3G – 5.0.0.913

Wow official OS releases have been cranking out quite a bit lately, this time for the BlackBerry Curve 3G 9330 by Sprint. I am kinda surprised that we have not seen any BlackBerry 6 releases as of yet. One can only speculate that BlackBerry 6 still has a few issues keeping it from being released. If you have yourself a BlackBerry Curve 3G and are ready to load up a newer build then hit the download link below.

• Download OS 5.0.0.913 for the BlackBerry Curve 3G 9330 from Sprint.

Many of the problems I encountered with 5.0.0.857 were fixed with this new release. As of now, this is the build that all Sprint models are sold with.

Major fixes:
Ability to edit sound profiles
Faster response time
Better battery life
Stronger signal

Major problem:
The Pandora application doesn't seem to want to load up properly, still attempting to get it running. It ran smoothly on 5.0.0.857.
Some other applications are not compatible with this version, including The Weather Channel, Urbansoon, and Shazam.

All in all, worth the upgrade, however, OS6 should blow 913 to bits!

This is the original build for the Sprint BBCurve 3G 9330. Works well, but the leaked 6.0.0.280 is better, works FLAWLESSLY (the version for the Bold 9650 does as well)

I attempted to find 6.0.0.280 but couldn't find it anywhere. I originally tried to put 6.0.0.212 but it messed up my phone so I was forced to load the older build, since I couldn't find 913.

Does Pandora work on 6.0.0.280?

Yes is does... no problems whatsoever. It appears that .280 && .222 have been removed. However, there is an official release from CBeyond... 5.0.0.983, available at this link:

And Verizon has an official release of 5.0.0.975 at this link:

Hope this helps. Pandora should work fine on both.

You are completely right! I was able to find .280 after some intensive searching and loaded it up. It is simply superb. The entire interface has a natural feel, although, it is a little slow, but that is natural for the entry level Curve series. Plus, Pandora works!
