    A lot of people have been asking about this, so I will get straight to the point... Now that the Curve has 5.0 software, it seems like we are one step closer to building a hybrid for the pearl. They both are severely limited as far as memory is concerned (64mb and 96mb respectively). However, we have seen the 5.0 os's do not leak the way 4.5s and 4.7s did. Apply shrink-a-os on top of that fact, and I think pearls could have a very stable, very upgraded os. Anyone out there know more about this? Any input would be appreciated

    we can't even get to 4.6
    afaik i never heard of 5.0/4.x hybrid, i don't think they are compatible at all but i might be wrong about that. i am 99.9% certain we won't see a 5.0 for 81xx though

    I'm assuming we would need the keyboard files from the 8230. Maybe some curve or bold files thrown in? Anybody?

    Base load for a 5.0 OS is around 80 mb. You're just not gonna chop it down enough. That's why they stopped development.

    Who knows... As soon as I get my hands on a pearl I'm gonna mess around with it. Seems like it would be a fun project, so who knows, maybe the lack of response means it really can not be done Realistically why would anyone want it though, i guess.

    I just installed a 4.5/5.0 os hybrid on my 8820 which has the same amount of memory as the pearl. I'm sure something will come up soon.

    "Hope to get an 8830 and 8130 hybrid pushed out this week(end) for those still using them "

    That was from theiexplorers in a tweet last week.
