As the name suggests, please post only your findings.

Edited to show what device I was talking about, thanks for catching that guys.

Is this thread for the Bold or 8900? I'll guess Bold since that is what you use.

It's available for both.

[disposition]

Yes, but shouldn't there be separate threads for each device?

Edit: You may see issues on the Bold that are not present on the 8900 or vice versa.

[davidnyc]

I just made a separate thread for 8900 findings, so I guess keep the Bold talk here.

Downloading both files now. As usual, Rapidshare is sloooooooooow.

[sunder]

Just downloaded it and feeling kinda hesitant to pull the trigger. I'll give it a go though and see if it's gotten better...

[bodisaffa]

43 painfully agonizing minutes left to download

[wingzero1]

Downloaded, edited with Blackberry Master Control Panel (removed VVM, preloaded stuff, themes, etc.) and loading to device now...

Will report back with findings.

"Rapid"share... not

[c3po25]

it only took me 8 mins

[wingzero1]

Hey mods can you rename this thread "Beta 5.0.0.93 for Bold 9000 thread" so we can keep findings separate?

[Fabmaclover]

I know Gmaps worked fine with the previous one. I had it on there with no problems

I'm scured....
If I jack up my phone, in anyway, I'll go insane.

[mcbarrett]

Downloading now. 10 mins and counting!!!

I'm hoping for Pandora functionality! And hoping the fat font on random emails issue is fixed. And that they didn't touch the improved camera taking ability - was amazingly better than any of the previous OS' in my opinion.

Installing now.... will report back.

What's C_X's opinion on this release?

Back it up and you have no worries. You can always recover with an OS, you just can't recover a backup you didn't make! Good luck.

What's C_X's opinion on this release?

I know a lot of people live and die by certain people's opinion. My advice is to d/load it, install it, play with it, and form your own opinion - then report back.

[sparkomatic]

Tried it on mine and goofed it up. Got stuck with the new BlackBerry startup screen and then an old style icon that said "Reload OS" error.

Oh well...trying to update it again.

I agree with that. it's good to get an idea by reading thru the thread, but you won't know until you intalle it and try it to see if you really like it

[audit]

I always wait a couple days anyhow before I install it to see what the others have found. Then I flip and coin and decide if I'm going to risk it or not.

5.0.0.90 was not a bad initial release outside of the occasional app incompatibility (which there weren't that many to be honest). It had some nice additions. So I'm confident in trying 5.0.0.93, not to mention some of the RIM folks were running it on their devices at WES...
