RIM is expected to release the new BlackBerry firmware update 5.0 in the coming week on October 28th.Kevin from Crackberry was gracious enough to compile a list of Blackberry devices that will be updated. For those BlackBerry owners who were holding out hope of seeing OS 5.0 come to their handset, here is the list of the devices that will be the chosen lucky few. The list goes:
*Bold 9000 series
*Storm 9500 series
*Tour 9630
*Pearl Flip 8200 series
*Curve 8330
*Curve 8350i
*Curve 8530
According to the official reasoning on the BlackBerry website;
“In order to optimize the BlackBerry smartphone user experience with BlackBerry Device Software 5.0, BlackBerry smartphones must have more than 64MB of memory to support this version of BlackBerry Device Software. BlackBerry Device Software 5.0 is targeted to be supported by Research In Motion on the above noted BlackBerry smartphones.”
