I've just received an email from RIM:

" An update of BlackBerry� Device Software version 5.0 is available. This update includes optimizations and enhancements approved by your wireless service provider. "

I've connected my 8900 to the Desktop Manager and ... voila.

Official OS 5.0 from Vodafone Spain.

[fatboy97]

What version???

[JmJ17]

v5.0.0.411 (Platform 5.2.0.31)

[1edyson]

is there a link available yet?

[JmJ17]

Not yet on the official site.

[1edyson]

ok, just downloaded the leaked version, but if the official is coming out soon, may just wait a few days

[fatboy97]

Just wondering if this wasn't just another mistake by a carrier... again!!!

Still not seeing anything on the Blogs.

How can I know if is it an error?

For now, I cannot sync contacts with Google. I can't activate security.

OS 5.0 sync's contacts with the email... you might need to log into your provider's website where you setup your email... you should find a checkbox to sync your contacts.

Sync Contacts via eMail? Nice. I had now 1Year my first BB and i am so impressed about the quality and usability. Hope it is not a mistake from Vodafone. Can�t wait for the 5.0OS. Use only Officials.

[Wes_dark]

It's about time. Yeah!!!

Hopefully this is true.

[Vurhan]

Oh this is huge news!

[anlygi]

Hopefully Vodafone UK wont be too far behind. I have resisted the urge to install a beta and have been waiting for an official release.

Hi All.

I'm using a leaked version of OS5 (.314) on my BB8900 on the Orange Network. Runs brilliantly, no problems with the OS, stable as anything.

OS 5.0 sync's contacts with the email... you might need to log into your provider's website where you setup your email... you should find a checkbox to sync your contacts.

Yes, I have to login in the Vodafone Config page. There is an option to activate contact sync, but after enable it, it says that I must login in BB Email config utility and accept a security request.

This request doesn't appear and contacts aren't synced.

I suppouse that it is a Vodafone problem, not about firm.

How true is this? If it was released, crackberry would know all about it

I went to the Vodafone Spain blackberry software download site and for 8900 it seems they have some 4.6 version. I do not believe this 5.0 rumor is correct

[lazerus]

Right on. 5.0 finally released.

Fail.

I don't know if it is a mistake, but this is the mail received from RIM. After conect to Desktop Manager, my 8900 is on 5.0.411:

This seems genuine to me, have you installed the OS already? if yes... How is it?

[BigBadWulf]

Since it's the same application number as the latest leak, it would have to be the same OS anyway. With the 9000 getting an official 5.0 OS, it would only stand to reason that the 8900 would receive the same soon.

From all the TBLers, to our CrackBerrian brethren.
May God bless you and yours during this holiday season.

We don't typically post abt DM only installs. It's pointless since the only way you can get it is via DM and if you are a Vodafone Spain user.

Ohh, I see... This makes sense, thanks for letting me know

[anitsh1202]

If vodafone spain has officially released it, shouldnt they release it for all locations ??
