Thought you were so sure of it not being released? What happened to your "Sources" ?

My standpoint hasn't changed.

Trying to help you all get some sleep.

This is what we are all waiting to find out. I was thinking that it would be upgraded wirelessly, but I too am unable to connect to the server. An OTA would be just as easy, but we will see how RIM decides to release this one.

My first post here, been 'lurking' for a while and learning from all of you, even enough to update my OS to 5.0.0.230 without any problems whatsoever, and I freaking love it, minus BBM 5.0 which I loved. I was thinking if they released it today it may be closer to 11am EDT when the West coast is up and moving as well, just my theory. My buddy that works with VZW said he doesn't know of anything coming but could be wrong. Thanks all for the wealth of knowledge on here, I couldn't be on .230 without yall

(I first tried going to .140 and mfg:...it stunk!)

I like your theory and I hope that you are correct. Doing one mass rollout will only clog there system (which we saw before), so I hope that they are ready for a lot of BBMing. Thanks for the post and glad you have been able to install 230 with the help of others. I must agree 140 did stink!!

Sean, do you think the recent BIS upgrade would have included consideration for the release of a new BBM and the traffic it would generate? Assuming that the rumored release is in fact true...

I do believe that the BIS upgrade would have put this into consideration, but this could be one of those mass hysteria moments. I just feel that it should be released time zone by time zone so the system can get accustomed to the mass users of this.

I am calling rumor on this release at this point...although it is not even 7am where I am

It's 9:40 am here and nothing yet that I can find... I'm becoming more skeptical as time passes...

OK I'm alive again (God bless NyQuil)...

There are still 14 hours left in the day...let's be patient LOL. OK WHERE IS IT!?!?!?!?!?!?

After hearing about how buggy it was in testing so far I am going to go with there will be no release today
