wouldn't mind knowing your thoughts on it, your previous os and anything you've noticed thats different!

Currently, Im using 5.0.0.1049 and I've been quite happy with that especially with memory leaks/management.

Strange... the software platform on .1067 (Software Platform: 5.2.0.89) is lower than .1049 (Software Platform: 5.2.0.93).

Is this really a higher version?

Did you guys have to shrink your OS? How much app memory do you have left?

[olblueyez]

BlackBerry® 9000
smartphone (3G, Wi-Fi)
v5.0.0.1067 (Bundle 1728, Platform 5.2.0.89)

First I used the desktop manager to BACKUP my entire phone.
I then used the provided link to get the new OS. (POST No. 1)
If you plan on shrinking your OS don't use Desktop Manager to acquire it, just download it.
I used Shrink-A-OS to get the OS from 114+mb to 84+mb and installed it.
After the initial re-boot I used the Desktop Manager to replace all my third party apps and personal information.

I personally never had an install go so smoothly.

I had one minor issue, the module named "net_rim_bb_lbs_api_2" was missing and when trying to install Poynt I encountered an error "Cannot install Poynt with because the module net_rim_bb_lbs_api_2 module is missing, blah blah blah". The module is in the OS folder for the new OS so I simply used BBSAK to toss that MoFo back into my phone. This will require a reboot for the new module to show up.

Went back to install Poynt again and it runs smooth as Carla Gugino's thighs!

Over all the OS is very nice and I am thrilled I did the upgrade. As compared to 1049 it seems to flow better without any hiccups when using apps and when moving from app to app.

I don't see any increase in available memory space as compared to 1049 so it's most likely some fixes. As usual I go from 45mb, just after a reboot to about 33+mb after using the phone for awhile and with all of my personal adjustments and apps installed.

5.2.0.93 is part of the Spanish Telefonica OS and 5.2.0.89 is part of the new Blackberry / ATT OS just released right?

People on the fence, I say give it a try because it seems to be working wonderfully.

Yes, I was wondering the same thing. When I try to install, it's warning me that this is a downgrade...

How do you know using a Spanish module was an upgrade in the first place? Also, who cares if it works better?

Slingbox still doesn't work.

Went back to .610.

[sddfdds]

The different file that affects it being a downgrade is UMTS/rim9000.sfi which seems to be some sort of radio file. Seems kind of janky and I dont know if it will blow up (and im slightly afraid to pull the trigger) but if you put the rim9000.sfi from your last update into this package it wants to proceed as a normal update.

[sddfdds]

Also I just noticed that this is a downgrade for VVM from 2.0.0.222 to 2.0.0.212

[olblueyez]

VVM?

Who gives a rats *** about VVM?

im just reporting the facts...

also, re: your question about what makes the spanish file an upgrade: presumably the higher version number.

anyways, i did a frankenstein update comprised of the at&t package, with the telefonica rim9000.sfi and vvm files...nothing exploded, everything appears to be fine.
