Default Blackberry OS 5.0 available for Bold 9000

I plugged my Bold into DM 5.0 and it automatically updated my Bold with OS 5.0. I'm not talking about BBM 5.0 but OS 5.0. I didn't have to download anything separately. Just simply plugged in and it did it by itself.

That seems very odd. What OS shows up under Options>About ?

I would suspect your DM updated itself to 5.0.0.11 from 5.0.0.8.

did you have the leaked release of OS5.0 installed on your comp? cos OS5.0 is not official on any carrier in any capacity

No I did not have a 5.0 installed on my computer whatsoever. Never downloaded it. I just plugged in my BB and when it did a search for update it showed up and did it automatically.

My BB is on ATT and is unlocked though. That might be the reason.

5.0.0.93 is an old leak, it was not packaged with BBM5.0, it included 4.7.
