That’s right Curve fans. Those of you still running the original Curve (CDMA version only) can finally take advantage of a better browser (than OS 4.5 anyway), threaded SMS and a host of upgrades for your devices.
The 8330 Curve is the lowest end BlackBerry device that will receive that 5.0 OS update due to the fact that it has 96 MB of RAM where it’s 8300, 8310, and 8320 siblings only have 64.
OS builds are device specific which means that this will work on any 8830 (not 8830n) that has an ESN instead of an IMEI, reguardless of carrier. I would not hold my breath for an upgrade from any other carrier though. Sprint stopped carrying this so it’s unlikely we will ever see an official release for them and Verizon is notoriously slow for OS updates because they tend to be very picky, so I would not expect an upgrade from them any time soon if at all.
Anyone who installs this wont see a lot of change on the surface as it does not have any new themes with it and due to it’s size it majorly bogs the device down so you will probably want to remove any excess modules (help, root certificates, games, etc.) that you dont need and install a minimum of third party applications.
