BlackBerry Week in Review 10/18 – 10/24

Author: Nic Ball

We’re going to look back on the week of October 18th thru 24th.

Storm to get OS 5 first

Looks like Storm owners will be the first to get their hands on an official 5.0 OS starting Monday the 26th. This date has changed since the picture above was taken. BlackBerry is handing out 5.0.0.328 for everyone to grab. While I’m currently running .323 I will say that this is what everyone expected a year ago. Very fast, with all the bells and whistles we expected. Storm owners will be happy they stuck it out for a year.

Here are some of the features:

  • Sync tasks & appointments
  • Manage your BlackBerry software
  • Create partial or full system backups

Only requirement is Mac OS X version 10.5.5
