Default Os 5 please!!!

I love the 8830. It was a perfect balance of professional look and usability. I have seen OS 5 on the 8330 Curve. I'm not sure what it takes, but if anyone can get it working on the World Edition I will donate $20 to their paypal account. Seriously. Has anyone here heard anything about it being released or leaked for our 8830s?

The 8830 doesn't meet the requirements for OS 5.0. The 8330 (which has more memory) barely is able to squeeze it in. OS 4.5 will be as good as it gets for the 8830.

A hybrid is probably possible, but it would be very limiting as to what can be used from an OS 5.0 build. The core files will still be 4.5 so many features, such as threaded SMS will not be able to be part of a hybrid.

Well, maybe I could get the source code from a 5.0 replica theme and bring the font down to size 5 instead of 7 and then it could have the look and feel of the 5.0 OS. Any other ideas you guys could think of?
