I’ve noticed this in the most recent beta OS builds and I’ve only seen it in one official OS. I haven’t thought much of it other than it was a forgotten feature by RIM’s account and they decided to dump it. Now,  I don’t know if that’s the reason or not, but according to Bla1ze over at CrackBerry who found RIM’s answer to this in the knowledge base, they have scrapped the standby feature.  Click the link to keep reading.

Here’s another leak for the Bold 9700. These OS leaks are coming more and more frequently, and I don’t quite know what to make of it. I can’t keep up with them at this rate. About the time I get my phone updated and just the way I like it, they leak another OS and I repeat the process.

Download OS 5.0.0.545

Enjoy!

Good news for Nimbuzz users running OS 5.0, as the popular software has been updated to support devices running the new OS.  Rest assured, we’ll be testing it to make sure it works well, but in the meantime, how do you like it?  Any issues to report thus far?  Sound off in the comments!

This update for your Tour is available through Desktop Manager. There is no download for it just yet. It’s only available from Desktop Manager at the moment. While this is good news for Sprint Tour owners, it’s utterly frustrating for Tour owners on Verizon. Hopefully it won’t be too long before they roll out the big 5.0. If you’re currently on Sprint and are still running OS 4.7, plug your BlackBerry and update it to 5.0. You will thank me later! Enjoy!

Sprint officially releases OS 5.0.0.459 for their Curve 8530.  This has been a popular device this past week, first we see a 5.0.0.463 Beta OS leak and now an official from Sprint.  If you have one of these OS releases tell us what you think about them, or if you have used both what are some pros and cons of each?  This download will only work for the 8530 and not the 8520.   To download, follow the link below and select your device from the drop down list.

Alltel releases their official OS 5.0.0.419 for the BlackBerry Tour.  This has been leaked out for a while and I believe it was working well for everyone, I am currently running it on my Verizon Tour and it works pretty good.  The question now is, what is Verizon Wireless waiting for?  If you have a Tour and haven’t upgraded to 5.0 yet, feel free to download this and try it out.  To download follow the link below and select your device from the drop down list.

What a great way to start your Friday.  I love when I see a new OS leak on a Friday because that is always my slowest day.   These two leaks are for Bold 9000 and Curve 8900, 5.0.0.464 and 5.0.0.461 respectively.  Remember these are betas and are not official releases, install at your own risk.  If you install one of them let us know what you think.

According to a tip sent to BGR, Verizon Wireless plans to release a build of OS 5.0 to the BlackBerry Tour sometime in late February or early March.  Given the timetable of the potential OS release, I’m guessing that it will coincide with a Tour2 9650 launch.  Hit the comments section with your speculation!

Not happy with the stock OS build that came with the Sprint BlackBerry Curve 8530?  OS 5.0.0.395 is officially available, and while there’s no change log to be found, it’s a step ahead of the OS (5.0.0.337) found on Verizon’s version of the device.

OS 5.0.0.395 can be downloaded at Sprint’s BlackBerry page here.  Download it and share your thoughts in the comments and forums!

Yep, despite it not being commercially available as of yet (in the US, that is), OS leaks are already beginning to pop up for the BlackBerry Bold 9700.

• Download 5.0.0.321 here
• Download 5.0.0.344 here

Note: Links to beta OS builds have a tendency to disappear pretty quickly due to their unofficial nature.  That being said, I’ll try to keep the links updated.  As always, installing beta OS builds is done at your own risk.
