I talked to a rep a couple weeks ago who told me that since they are starting to phase out the 8330 he doubts they will release 5.0 for it, just not worth while he said. He of course added the disclaimer that it was his opinion and what he had heard, not a fact. Take it for what you will I guess. I'm running the boost 5.0 and haven't had any problems.
Can't speak to your warranty, it was simple for me to install, didn't have any problems, just followed the tutorial on the thread about it. Some have had problems w/ GPS and what not, but no GPS w/ verizon for me anyway, haven't had any other issues.
Keep in mind that most versions of 5.0 can possibly slow down your berry signifigantly due to 5.0 being a signifigantly larger os file.
Especially if you intend to run the Sirius radio app.
Think of it like putting windows vista on a computer built to run windows 2000 or xp.
Now this is my experiance, and it was with a hybrid os.
I have not tried Boostmobiles version yet.

Your comment is exactly spot on. Read the Sticky for the Boost 5.0 in the Curve 83xx section. A lot of users have had major problems. I am sticking with Big Red's latest (4.5.0.77). I'll get 5.0 when the Tour 2 drops, which hopefully is this month.
