The launch of OS 5.0 appears to be nearing, so you might be wondering if your device is eligible for an upgrade. RIM won’t release the OS for every device, but it will offer upgrades for all of its latest generation handsets, plus one older model — and for that one I’m grateful. After the jump, a list of the eligible devices, plus a hint of when we can expect OS 5.0 to become officially available.
The list:
- BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8200 series
- BlackBerry Curve 8330 (yay!)
- BlackBerry Curve 8350i
- BlackBerry Curve 8900
- BlackBerry Bold 9000
- BlackBerry Storm 9500 series
- BlackBerry Tour 9630
The cut-off, it appears, is for devices with more than 64MB of internal memory. That would exclude the original generation Curve devices, plus the Pearl 8100 series and the 88xx series.
Good news: the Verizon Storm 9530 update is live now. So does this mean that other OS 5.0 releases will be coming shortly? We’ll keep this updated, and also make sure to check out the Twitter feed for the latest on OS 5.0.
