1. Bold users should see an official release of 5.0.
2. you can get bbm 5.0 now!
3. don't know...i'm not running it
4. Yes it should back up the pins...with 5.0 there is an option to back them up on the device now.

You can download BBM 5.0 from this link straight from your BB browser...

I had issues with BBM 5.0 on OS4.6. Mainly memory problems. So I reverted back to BBM 4.6 and I'm going to wait until OS 5.0 comes out for the Bold.

im using os5 and bbm 5 all excellent stuff.

threaded sms is cool as i previously had over 4000 sms and would've taken forever to delete the ones that werent important.

the only thing i dont like is the way you have to start a threaded sms, wish it was still like previously.

how is the camera on the bold?

my 8320 is horrible in taking pictures even with a flash...

The camera is decent, but obviously there's room for improvement. Makes me wonder why RIM didn't include a higher megapixel camera, but then again who buys a blackberry for its camera?
