    if you're gonna do it, go with .230 - too many problems with the newer one. if the link thats in the betaOS forum doesnt work, im not sure.. somebody will come along and drop you a link.

    There was one on the front page for a megaupload link. Do you know which 5.0 you want? Or a hybrid? There's a few.

    sounds to me like that was more of a "user error" type of thing(the restarts). i havent had one issue along those lines. the only thing is the radio file and the inability to update a PRL. but for me it was worth it.. sometimes i feel like a used car salesman pushing the OS

    well. you might want to try the OS forums instead of just trying in here. Did you try searching? And, you still haven't decided which build you want? That's kind of important.

    ..... just minimize the popups.... scroll down and click on the megaupload link... it works....


    EDIT: Here is the megaupload link from the first site I posted:

    MEGAUPLOAD - The leading online storage and file delivery service

    It isn't the one from crackberry.com. It DOES work and it wasn't a BS LINK. Ugh. Your welcome.

    I'll chime in.

    Unless you are an expert my personal opinion would be to stay with 4.7. This is just an opinion of a basically newbie to the whole OS world.

    I say this because I have experienced the following issues.

    No GPS. Even though the radio is enabled the GPS is still not working for me.

    Recently I have had issues connecting to DM. It causes a reboot and then it loops. I think I need to read the recovering a bricked Blackberry section. :-)

    It has had intermittent bouts of freezing or moving very slowly. A battery pull doesn't help. It just has to get over it itself.

    Actually that's about it at this point. If anyone has tips to cure these ills I would totally go for 5.0. I am using .230.
