    Are pearl owners gonna get a 5.0 os or will it just be the newer blackberries that get it? Or is this information still top secret?

    I don't see one for the pearl but if you update your OS to .131 or higher, you will be able to download the Curve 83XX version.

    I did, and it works great!

    Go to StormOTA on your phone's browser and click the OTA link for the BBM 5.0 for Curve.

    When downloading a box will pop up stating you already have a certain file and it needs to be overwritten to download 5.0. Just click yes.

    Remember, make sure it's the Curve version! Otherwise, it won't work!

    Although that's good infomation the OP was asking about OS5.0 not bbm

    I have read (somewhere )on cb here that the pearl will not get it, but I'm hoping that was premature..and maybe RIM will have pity on us.
    I know its not the fanciest bb, but it is the smallest, and still VERY common...
    cheers

    i think everything AFTER the 83xx series will get it but no others so definitely not the Pearl if im correct.
