Just checked my wife's 8530 and it doesn't show an update. Also checked the VZW site.

I see .973 is available for the Storm 2. Maybe your BB is striving to be touchscreen?

So you guys are saying that there is no way to fake this photo, because I have gotten no update yet.

I have 3 8530's in this house and none have available OS updates. I'm gonna call BS on this one.

Maybe Verizon accidentally send it to your device.

now maybe your right. but i think for some people to say "its fake" or "its bs" is going for a long shot. because i dont see how people would honestly take time out of their life to make a fake OS shot.

i mean that's what i'm saying! right now i'm contemplating installing this OTA but gotta backup everything first can't risk it!

How is that you have a .973 update and I don't on vzw? grrr...

**chadg51** · 10-15-2010, 02:27 PM

I check this morning nothing, lunch nothing, 3:30 pm, now 5.0.0.973, dowloading OTA right now.

**motoroid7** · 10-15-2010, 02:44 PM

This must be the official OS Verizon is going to be having released tonight @ 6PM.
They are releasing device updates for the Bold, Tour, and 8530.

(See Front Page ( http://www.crackberry.com ) for Details)

**disgruntledviv** · 10-15-2010, 03:12 PM

I just checked my wireless update and the .973 upgrade was there. Downloading now! =)

EDIT: When I try to get the update it says, "Update request failed. Try again later or update using Blackberry Desktop Manager on your computer."

**motoroid7** · 10-15-2010, 03:23 PM

If it's just now hitting people's phones the server might be busy. I hope someone can get a .EXE up for download.

This. Want to d/l the apploader since I'm on Sprint.

**sycophantic** · 10-15-2010, 04:39 PM

I updated and it takes up an extra 20mb and appears laggy.

**mcaples** · 10-15-2010, 04:41 PM

Guess some folks that thought this was fake need foot powder for their tongues...10/15/10 Verizon 8530 RUNNING 5.0.0.973...LOL!!!

Do the set up wizard. Check your app/add on memory. Delete. Delete. Delete. Yank the battery.

Just installed .973 on my 8530 for Verizon. My phone is smoother than it was with .734, but the signal strength is usually a full bar less after upgrading =[. Just a heads up.
