Note: You can still access the download even if you don’t have a Verizon number by entering a random number and then clicking on the “Download Now” button.

DISCLAIMER: Install at your own risk. This is Leaked/Beta software that is not guaranteed to be stable, and therefore will not be supported by RIM or your wireless carrier should you run into some problems. As a precaution, if you decide to upgrade, it is highly recommended that you make a backup before using this software. If you are not comfortable using Leaked/Beta software you should probably wait for the next official release. *
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!

Yesterday I mentioned that the Verizon BlackBerry Storm 9530 might be getting OS 5.0.0.328 tomorrow. Since that post I’ve received a bunch of emails asking whether a certain BlackBerry model will get OS 5.0.
Up till now I could only base my answers on leaked information, but thanks to a new knowledge base article posted by RIM we now know exactly which BlackBerry devices will get it!
List of the supported devices:
BlackBerry® Pearl™ Flip 8200 series smartphones
BlackBerry® Curve™ 8330 smartphones
BlackBerry® Curve™ 8350i smartphones
BlackBerry® Curve™ 8900 smartphones
BlackBerry® Bold™ 9000 smartphones
BlackBerry® Storm™ 9500 series smartphones
BlackBerry® Tour™ 9630 smartphones
Your BlackBerry must have at least 64MB of available memory in order to upgrade to OS 5.0 once it’s available.
According to the knowledge base article not all wireless service providers will support BlackBerry OS 5.0 for the devices listed above, meaning you might have to get it from another service provider. This isn’t a problem for those that don’t mind using an OS not issued by their carrier.
Here’s to hoping an OS 5.0 launch for all devices is just around the corner!
