Default os5 on 9870??

any way to run os5?? Two of my favorite apps (worldmate and viigo) wont work on 6.0 and the home screen is soooo cluttered i cant stand it.

any way to trick it into thinking its a 9700?

thanks!

Sorry, no such luck.
9780 is strictly a OS6 device.

No one will ever write a OS5 version for the 9780. This was asked before a month or so ago.

Like jgaspar89 said if you want os5 , just get 9700 since 9780 is just a refreshed device of 9700 , i don't see the point of having an older os on a new phone that is loaded with OS6.

Even though os6 is newer i dont see how its better other than the browser.

Id love to have the better phone, speed and memory with the 9870 but im not sure im willing to give up my preferences with os5

Why are you assuming that these applications won't be remade for OS6 in the next few months?
