5.0 Discussion Thread (Please don't get off topic)
- I'm hoping to start this thread to get as much info about 5.0 as possible since not many people are talking about it.
My first question is, why have we not even received even a GLIMPSE of 5.0 on the Storm? While there have been screenshots, videos, and even leaks of the updated OS for the 8900/9000, we have not gotten anything. If it's so similar to it's counterparts, what is there to hide? New features that we shouldn't see?05-16-09 07:53 PMLike 0 - I'm hoping to start this thread to get as much info about 5.0 as possible since not many people are talking about it.

So has the Curve/Bold though.
I saw that blog entry about 5.0 which seemed to just discuss features about the OS in general. It didn't seem to be model specific. I'm just wondering why the Storm's specific 5.0 OS has not been shown at ALL.05-16-09 08:22 PMLike 0 - we already have one right here started but radio himself

I'm just hoping some of those features include flick scrolling. Thanks so much Radio.05-16-09 09:00 PMLike 0 -

- He's talking about the Storm. He's not the only one who has talked about having it either. It went from .125 to .126 to .127. Apparantly they're at least at .13x now.05-16-09 09:31 PMLike 0
- I already hit my goal of getting some kind of new info and succeeded. Didn't know they were currently discussing new features to add since the stability is there now.
If the mods want to move/close this thread then they'll do so. No biggy.05-16-09 09:36 PMLike 0 - I don't think I've gotten my answer yet.... in any 5.0 thread. I guess I'll ask again.
Have they fixed the bugs in my sticky thread in the 5.0 you're currently holding? If you can't answer that, state that you can't answer that and I'll take it that "they haven't fixed them yet".05-16-09 09:40 PMLike 0 - I don't think I've gotten my answer yet.... in any 5.0 thread.

In your Opinion about how far are we away from seeing legit STABLE functionality with our storms without all of the hassles?

- Civic I doubt you'll get your answer plus you won't probably know till its loaded on your storm. Radio is not real keen at answering those.
