Does anyone know when Verizon will offer 5.0 for the 8330?

I'd really like to get away from 4.5.  I have 4.7 on my company BB (T-Mobile 8900) and like it much better, but from reading about 5.0 I think I will like it even better yet.  Unfortunately 4.5 is the only OS listed on Verizon's page for the 8330.  Does anyone know when they will release 5.0?  From everything I've read they are going to, but I'd like to know if I should expect a 6 week wait or a 2 year wait...
Thanks, and sorry if this has been covered before, I was unable to find it if so.

Solved!

Coolness. BTW -- there will be little (if any) publication about when RIM goes "official" for what you are seeking. Rather, what you will see is that some carrier releases the version you seek...VZW will do what they do in their own sweet time.
BTW -- you can find the 83xx forum on this site here:

At the top, one of the stickies is a thread that Xandrex keeps updated with current versions of device OS's from each carrier (that he has information on, of course). I haven't waded through that thread (it's pretty long), but he might have a table for your model, which would guide you to where various carriers stand with release levels.
If you find that a carrier has sanctioned a device OS you want, you can usually get it from them via their DL site via this portal:

Then you can use these instructions to use it (don't mind that the instructions are for the Storm -- the process is the same I think):

    Thank you.

    No one outside of Apple knows when - or if - support will be added for any device. Just let them know you want it...

  • Does anyone know if they are developing 4.6 for the 8330???

    I recently went from a 8350i to an 8330 and miss a bunch of things that were standard with the 4.6 software...
    anyone know if they will release that to sprint users with the 8330?

    nothing mentioned about a 4.6 for the 8300, 8310, 8320 or 8330

  • Does anyone know when VERIZON will allow TELENAV for it's droid phones?

    I've read that Blackberry users with Verizon are able to use Telenav.  After experiencing Telenav with T-mobile, google nav is nothing in comparison.  It has far less options and is far less user friendly.  And don't suggest VZ Nav.  Everyone knows how much that navigator sucks.  Telenav costs the same as VZ Nav and is far superior.  Is there a ray of hope in the future?  Or do I need to go back to T-mobile?  There's a reason all the other wireless providers have Telenav available.

  • TS1559 I have 4s. After I updated ios7.0.3 my wifi is geyed out. I expected after ios7.0.4 update wifi will work again, but does not. It annoying, because I have to use my data... Does anyone know when it will be fixed or does anyone have the same problem

    I have 4s. After I updated ios7.0.3 my wifi is geyed out. I expected after ios7.0.4 update wifi will work again, but does not. It annoying, because I have to use my data... Does anyone know when it will be fixed or does anyone have the same problem?

    I have the same problem.  After the upgrade, my wifi is greyed out, and the battery won't hold a charge long. I reset all the settings, tried all the things suggested by Apple, but it didn't work.  I took the phone to Verizon, but they said they can't fix it, go to Apple
    I made an appointment at the Genius bar, where the staff was incredibly rude and dismissive. A representative told me that the wi-fi is broken and I would need to buy a new phone for $200, because mine is out of warranty. I'm due for an upgrade in a few months, so I'm not going to pay $200 for another 4S now.  I'm also not going to buy any more Apple products.  Their upgrade caused this problem, and they are not standing behind their producet.

  • HT5085 Does anyone know when Movies will be available in the Cloud in the UK?

    Does anyone know when Movies will be available in the Cloud in the UK?
    Looks like it's only available in the US at the moment.

    When Apple tells us.  They are pretty secretive about new developments until they are ready to announce them and we're just other users like you.  If you want rumors, speculation and guessing you'll have to browse the web because we're not allowed to do any of that here.

  • HT4899 Does anyone know when iOS5 will be available? That would efficiently solve to problem of mass deletion of email on the iPhone 4S. Michael

    Does anyone know when iOS5 will be available for the iPhone? It seems to have an efficient method for deleting emails in bulk.

    I assume you mean iOS 6.  The only official statement has been that it is coming "later this fall".  In the meantime, if you want to mass delete email you can always go to the webmail site for your email account and delete them there.

  • Does anyone know when Aperture will be able to provide RAW support for the Nikon 1 J3 ?

    I have just bought Aperture to support my new camera, a Nikon 1 J3.  I then discovered that this is not one of the Nikon camereas yet supported by Aperture for RAW format pictures.
    Does anyone know when this may be addressed in a later version of Aperture?
    Kind regards
    Simon

    Léonie
    Thanks very much for your help.  I see from the discussion threads on this that I am not alone!
    I will be visiting my local Apple Store today to see if they know when my camera will be fully supported.
    I got it through Cutio in Germany and the instructions were in German which I learnt at school - which is great for travel and holidays but not for reading technical manuals!
    Kind regards

  • Does anyone know if iMessage will be free internationally for texting? moving to japan tomorrow and hoping it will be.

    my wife and i are moving to japan and will be getting the iphone4s upon arrival.
    obviously international texting will be an issue regarding pricing for plans through a carrier.
    im hoping the new iMessage texting over wifi will solve this dilemma.  does anyone know if
    it will work all the same overseas to use iMessage to text people back in the USA?

    iMessage is absolutely free over wifi....doesnt matter if the sender is in Japan and the receiver in US.
    I am in India and iMessage my friends in US and Europe for free.
    Just your wifi/3G charges may apply....!!

  • Does anyone know when CS6 will be released for the rest of us?

    There are a large group of people who STILL haven't got CS6 - even though we pre-ordered and prepaid for it. I'm referring to all the people who upgraded to CS5.5 to get CS6 when it came out.
    At the time of ordering Adobe said that by purchasing CS5.5 we would get CS6 'when it became available'. That was a few weeks ago now. When nothing happened we went searching and found in the FAQs that we would be able to download it 'approximately 10 days after it was released'. No reason was given for having to wait. Adobe had our money so there was no reason to not let us download it.
    Now, 14 days later, and there's still nothing from Adobe. So does anyone know what is going on at Adobe.
    Adobe do not seem to understand the whole concept of pre-paying or pre-ordering something. People pre-pay/pre-order so that they can get something as soon as it is available. It should put you at the front of the line when something is released - but Adobe  managed to completely screw that up by taking our money up front and then putting us right to the back of the line!
    And in case anyone is wondering - no, none of us wanted CS5.5. It was just a way, offered by Adobe, of upgrading to CS6.

    I found this: on a similar thread, and hope that it helps.
