so i searched around some trying to find a forum explaining what is and why a hybrid os is better or good. how i would get and install one, and what's the advantages? sorry if this is a double post or in the wrong place, but i wasn't really sure where else to put it. thanks in advance!!

Well to answer your question, why is a hybrid card better than one just running on gas?

A Hybrid appeals to BlackBerry owners when they find fault in the selection of OS software available.

It has been noted, some releases have dramatic preformance improvements but are lacking in areas that other releases have mastered.

For the most part, it only applies to OS for models that are quite new. The established models, like your CDMA Curve are nearly bullet proof out of the box.

Hybrid OS's take what ever the creator of the hybrid feels are the best modules from a collection of different OS's and builds them into the one hybrid OS. For example, they might take the browser from 5.0.xxx and the radio module (controlling the reception of your phone) from .90, as well as other modules from other OS's, and build them into a hybrid. In theory, they can be good, getting the best of the best, but part of the problem is that the radio module for one user in one part of the country, may not be the best radio for someone else. The biggest problem is that whenever you have a problem, no one can help you figure out what's wrong, because no one knows what OS/OS's your running. Even the hybrid builders change their hybrid makeup multiple times in the coarse of one week. So they can't even tell you what your running.

Personally, I;ve run some good hybrids on my phone in the past, but have decided to stop using them. Generally, they are more trouble than they are worth.

its not. they are for yuppies who have no actual understanding of the manufacturing process of a vehicle, and only look at short term fuel mileage. when the fact is that they pollute MANY times more than a standard vehicel voer their lifespans.


now off of my high horse, lol.

for me it was the same reason i wanted to always update my OS. to have the latest and hopefully greatest.

okay so it's mostly what i was figuring. thanks for the help everyone!

Reed: so you'd say i have no real reason to get a hybrid os because of the fact that i have a curve?

also, one more thing. i saw people talking about having the option to show what they were listening to on the new bbm. i don't have that option, is it because i have the leaked, not final, verson?

I'm just waiting for the complete 5.0 os to come out. Leaked or official, which will probably take forever!
