Why haven't we had an official (or even unofficial) 5.0 for the m version? Isn't the hardware just about the same in terms of processing power and speed?

Do you think we'll ever see a 5.0 for the 8330m?

I think not.
Poor us.
But keep hope.
Hope for the best.
Expect the worse.

I'm guessing we probably won't. You'd think if we were there'd be a leak by now.

I don't have any issues with .186 so it'll probably last me through my upgrade date and then I'll get something that comes with 5.0

[SCrid2000]

I dunno. I'm starting to doubt there will be, and my cynical side thinks carriers are just not bothering with releasing it cause they want us to lock ourselves into new 2 year contracts.

i have the Telus 8330m and i loaded the boost 5.0 OS and it works beautifully!

[SCrid2000]

Really? Don't get my hopes up like that lol. You're sure you have the 8330m? Post a link?
Ah, I'm too impatient. I'm off to search boost's site.

Wait, what? Really? I'm too scared to try this myself, but uhh... you sure you have an 8330m?

If 5.0 is a no go, will we at least get the new browser? or should i just start looking into the new berry's that will be coming out in the future?

So... if anyone tries this out and it works, update us all pronto. =)

[azian13oi]

well the difference between 8330m and 8330 is ESN and MEID right? my phone has an MEID

ellen requested some screenies[ATTACH]Attachment 58479[/ATTACH]

[joegran]

thanks for the screen, looks nice!

Anyway we can get a pic of your About screen? lol

[azian13oi]

yep hold on

here is my about to screenAttachment 58486

Problem..... "Email set-up application can not be loaded because it requires fields that are not available"? i can't uncheck that, so what do i do?

[xliderider]

here is my about to screenAttachment 58486

So where is your About screenshot? That is the only screenshot that counts. Only if your device = 8330m on your About screen will I believe you loaded 5.0 on an m. You cannot load 8330 software on an 8330m, the OS has to match the device, or it will not load.

Just because you have an MEID number means nothing. ALL Verizon 8330's are 8330 devices in the About screen whether they have an MEID or ESN number. Telus could be the same, your device could have an MEID number but have an 8330 designation in the About screen.

So let's see that screenshot...

Edit: As I thought, your screenshot clearly shows your device is an 8330, not an m.

[joegran]

Yea... my dreams are now officially crushed... I really wish you had an 8330m!

[SCrid2000]

Man ... I got all excited, and ended up wiping my berry trying to get that boost 5.0 on here. Oh well, maybe someday.

Lately I have been thinking the same but feel stuck in the middle! I would gladly lock in again if they just put out a new phone! LOL

Haha, no kidding. I'm on Sprint, and they've got nothing good. Come on, 9730!

8530 for $15 with a two year contract sounds good to me...trackpad, memory faster processor, everything but wifi...

[xliderider]

THIS, is the phone you all should be anticipating...

That really is a fantastic deal...I have been tempted to just get my Mom on a Berry considering it's a sweetheart of a deal!
