Wow, I was very shocked to get a PM from member 'Stiefler07' with this nice bit of information. Fantomberry has gotten their hands on the first leak for the 5.0 OS series. I would love to hear the pros and cons with this new OS. From what I have gathered after installing, it is a pain to downgrade back to 4.6. So do this with caution.

So you can all download the file by clicking here.

Winner winner chicken dinner!

i will get a bold tomorrow, such a deal huh

whoa wtf first an official for 8900 , now 5.0 for the bold. Ah man this is some BS with the storm I'm going back to my 8330.

Resending your service books:

On phone: Options > Advanced options > Host Routing Tables > BB Menu Key > Register Now

OR

Over the Web: BlackBerry - BlackBerry Internet Service Support

Pick North America or World Wide @ the top of the page.

Pick your Service Provider from the list on the page.

The OS is very fast, I get email and bbmessenger but not the browser.

After re-sending service book the browser still not works, same story for bolt and opera.

For everyone on the fence regarding making the jump to 5.0 here is a hands-on walk through of the us from Boy Genius. Think hard about making the jump because from what I've read going back to 4.6 is difficult.
Hands on: OS 5.0 on the Bold : Boy Genius Report

My experience so far is that the Bold will hang a lot where the trackball is not moving and can not go to the main menu.

Then it re-boots.

Hope this is only a one time problem.

As for going back to OS 4.6, I think that by doing a WIPE on your phone, you should be able to get back easily enough. Just make sure that you have a back up of your devise before installing 5.0

I'm having a small issue with the browser. I have the medianet and wi-fi browsers but not the 3g browser. I have tried deleting and resending service books but no luck....

thats one of the problems everyone is having, including myself. so far i havnt found a fix and havnt heard of one as of yet

A number of fellow Bolders report problems w/browser, apps, etc.; all of which indicate we need extreme caution. I was (fortunately?) unable to install. I kept getting "Fatal Error Try Again" messages. Any suggestion as to what may cause that? I had anti-virus and firewall turned off.

Have you disconnected from the internet?

I think that I may go back to 4.6. Just too many programs will not work and I need them to work.

When they release the next 5.0 version, I will see what the comments are and try it if these issues are fixed.

Real Bummer but life goes on.

This is a known problem. Nothing having an advanced software and nothing works on it. Wait that's pretty par for the course with RIM
