    Everyone will get it eventually

    Rumour has it that it wont be official until the release of the Storm 2. Thats expected late October BUT could be delayed if the Storm 2 release is delayed.

    Wait and see

    At least VF has visible moderators that give some level of public information.. not the "my third cousin once removed was talking to some VZW rep who said that the next release will be last Tuesday."

    Hi Everyone,

    Thanks for all your posts regarding this smile.gif

    Whilst we do not have any definite information on when the firmware will be available we understand that RIM will be launching the Storm 2 with version 5 included and that at this point all users with 4.6 or greater will be able to upgrade. However, we have no word on when this will be.
    And guys, you need to remember here in the UK we DONT GET THE 9530, so ANY discussion on the vodafone forum is 9500 related. So that statement confirms UK 9500 users will deffinatley be getting a 5.0.??? upgrade at some point soon.

    Here's a stupid question.
    The 230 is for 9530.
    The 9500 is GSM and the 9530 cdma right?
    Why is there "qualcomm 3G cdma" on the rear of my 9500?

    I was looking at the back of my phone this morning and noticed this! Maybe they just used the same outer case to fit all the hardware in and never realised the case said this??

    Because the 3G part of the phone on a 9500 is WCDMA (Wideband CDMA).
