Thread: Just to add some excitement.... VZW is getting 5.0.0.288 to test today for 9530!!!

That having been said, I personally would be 100% for a device trade-in program, where you would get credit towards a new device by trading in your old one. It works for videogame consoles.

Don't worry Dave, I never took your comment in a bad way. Like I said I was expecting this because I know that we would have to pay for it one way or another.

Does anybody have and idea as to how much VZW pays RIM for the phone. I'm guessing that it has to be less than the 2 year contract price. I wouldn't have a problem paying the 2 year price to upgrade, or even the 2 year price and trade in the S1. I don't think that VZW would ever do anything like that though.

If VZW just got this for testing, shouldn't that mean that we should have gotten it leaked before Verizon even got their hands on it? LOL

There's even a waiting room for the leak somewhere around here. Still no leak yet :no:

Nope. Actually, MOST (not all) of the leaks we see come from the carrier testing phase.

hopefully this leaks today since everything usually leaks on wednesdays...

^^^ true addict

where are the bloody 9500 Gods these days....i want the .288 as well...im still running my 216...coz i've heard there's bugs with 230...how is the Hybrid going with the 238?

is there anything out there better than the 216 at this very moment for the 9500?

also i was thinking with this whole new BBM5 and the Group features which are absolutely addictive, we should create forums like this on BBM to chat and stuff....what do you think Moderator? i think it's a good idea..then we can have people helping each other out on the spot....

keep up the good work guys...loving my BB

I'm stoked by the news. I haven't found a 5.0 leak that works on my particular storm. Maybe then I could get a new one, or Auto upgraded to S2. Please VZW make it official.

So Lyricidal's hybrid contains some .287, does that mean he has some of the .287 files from the Storm 9530? Or did he just pull them from the Odin leak?

They came from the Odin leak otherwise he would have included the SFI.

From over on Crackberry... patches152 mentioned that Verizon is no longer testing .288. Take it for what you might.

Or it might actually be that it was never actually .288.

Hum. So I wonder what build they're testing now. Or or if that means that .288 has been given the green light and can drop any time now...

He actually may be a "friendly" teste for VZW and have .288. I hope it did pass. Personnaly im ready to move up from 5.0.0.2.0

I heard the same thing, namely there were a ton of quincy reports filed with RIM from vzw on this OS. This makes me believe it was failed and RIM is working to update the OS per VZW's specifications.

Of course it would be HILARIOUS and full of fail if it turned out that the OS was fine, and the Quincy app had a bug making it throw out bogus error reports.......

On a serious note, i'm beginning to wonder how VZW is going to have something ready by the end-of-the-year deadline I heard was set for 5.0 release. We all know how lightning-fast Verizon is at testing and approving OSes.

Lyrical's latest hybrid also contains some .296 files and it is working great. It contains .230; .238; .287 and .296 files. Great battery and memory very stable. Thanks to Lyrical, and BBOS and BlackberryOS, I love these site I learn so much from the users, and I like the friendliness that usually prevails.
