Not even thirty minutes after I posted the leaked version @MoeStepp let me know that Verizon has made the official version available for download! Better late than never right?

OS 5.0.0.328 for the BlackBerry Storm 9530 is available for download through Desktop Manager or through Verizon’s BlackBerry software download site vzw.smithmicro.com/blackberry. I tested it and you can enter any number to get the download, it doesn’t have to be a Verizon number. Feel free to use the one I entered in the screenshot above.

I’ve included the full changelog after the jump. Let me know how you like this update in the comments!

Changelog:

  • Significant improvements in rotation detection and screen painting have been introduced in this software.
  • Device displayed a white bar at the bottom of the screen after a rotation event.
  • When setting a custom SMS tone for a single contact, this tone may playback unexpectedly for SMS’ received from other contacts.
  • When swiping down the virtual keyboard in an MMS message the send and save draft icons did not appear as expected.
  • When viewing an SMS there was no simple way to call the current user. Now the user can select the number from the Callback Number field or from the message body and call that number from the pop up menu.
  • The delete prior function has the unwanted side-effect of triggering the compose email screen.
  • The user cannot configure their profile settings to increase the number of alerts when being notified of an event such as incoming SMS or email.
  • Previous software versions did not allow the user to increase the count of notifications (i.e. Beep 5 times when when I get an email and beep 3 times when I get an sms). In this software, this is now allowed with counts from 1-10.
  • When trying to set a home screen background of a certain resolution (more specifically a resolution matching either the width or the height of the native resolution of the LCD) it may have appeared as a black screen.
  • When trying to edit/create a folder, the virtual keyboard did not render to allow the user to enter the names of said folders.
  • Intermittently, when streaming a video while doing a handover to 2G on a 3G network the video would stop playing.
  • If you paused a video recording and then resumed, the icon state may not have reflected the current recording state.
  • After recoding a video of a certain size (7M) the saved video may be corrupted and unplayable.
  • During manual network selection, the radio buttons associated with the networks did not render as expected.
  • When moving out of coverage your device display for no coverage may have been inconsistent.
  • During voice calls, your device may have reset on a rare occasion.
  • After viewing and accepting the End User Licensing Agreement of the App World application the application doesn’t startup (fixes introduced in the latest version of App World).
  • On some rare occasions, the device may reset on its own during a voice call or while idle.
  • During an MTP side load of 16GB of music, the device would leak memory and stop the transfer at ~75%.
  • During device full boot-up, the progress bar skips from 0% complete to ~66% complete instead of showing a gradual progression (Note: from 66% to 100% it does show a gradual progression).

    Can you update the BB 9500 using the firmware above? Is it the same phone? How would I upgrade my phone to OS5?
  • Just did the upgrade. Takes a little while to complete if you need to upgrade App Loader first like I did, but so far it's awesome. Scrolling is faster, typing better... SMS screen looks like the one for BBM. So far, so good, RIM/Verizon!

    Quickpull does not seem to be working with this os. Also, all of the themes I have from elecite make the screen kinda messed up when in landscape mode.

    I was expecting tabbed browsing with this update. Sigh. Did i miss something or is it still not here yet?
  • Actually I noticed that too. It asks if I'm sure and then when I hit "yes" some other thing comes up that asks if I want to add Quickpull to a listed of trusted apps and then it says that there was an error. I think I'm gonna try reinstalling Quickpull later today and see if that helps

    So far so good. Downloaded the update on Monday (10/26). This has made the phone much more enjoyable to use.

    In OS 5, the Custom corvette theme I had no longer rotates properly. and my icons and folders got all jumbled up.
    After OS 5 upgrade Facebook needed to be reinstalled
    In OS 5, I am unable to install the youtube.com client from http://m.google.com/youtube says device is not compatible. Looks like I might be going back to 4.7 till some of these issues are resolved.
    Open for thoughts.
