@Nikolaus – I have a Bold, and Pandora 1.0.3 works fine with 5.0.93, without even re-installing Pandora. I did have to reboot the Bold after installing 5.0, but I think everybody has to. Just so you know. Try rebooting your 8900. Hope this helps.

I hope people are still reading this thread to offer advice. So far with 5.0.0.93 my 8900 is pretty good, but the following don’t work: Pandora 1.0.3, BBWeather 0.84, VyMail 0.8.3.5. Pandora gave me a DNS error, and that is my first guess why these are all not working. Help!

Sorry guys I’m on a bold. A few new apps do work on this new os compared to .90. Slacker works and viigo works. Face book and myspace 123 spoof apps do not work. Also they took away the media break down of in the menu options of the media player. But everything is way faster from the delay of flipping through ur pics and scrolling though the icons. I like this one a lot better. You weak suck out there who don’t wanna try the new os cuz things don’t work is a excuse. Maybe bb wasn’t made for you to have.

And yes I’ve installed it on my 8900 there r some problems viigo not working

oracle has a good point. It is not really that OS 5.0 doesn’t work with FaceBook; it is that FaceBook is not ready for OS 5.0. I guess I am going to take the plunge and get this version. I can always use the web version of FaceBook, on the BB Browser.

downloaded and installed, even after all the comments, i have to decided that i can help tweek it by using 5.0, remember it has a feedback setup in 5.0 so if things dont work properly we can give feedback to help developers improve on it, come on people lets do our part to make bb, be all it should be for all. i will keep u posted

I am not brave enough to try this one, since all the instant messaging & facebook are not made for this OS.5 so we have to wait till those instant messanger & fb come out with somethin for this OS…be patience guys…

ok everyone did it and everything is working fine. myfaves are working. i guess i have to download viigo again but like a person said earlier u have to uninstall it and reinstall it. not a big deal. UMA on 8900 works smoother. made a couple calls. wrote to my broski at the same time. satified. oh yeah browser seems faster.

Opera Mini 4.2 is working fine on this build (Bold)

By: Lok

Lok — Thu, 07 May 2009 23:38:04 +0000

Anyone know how the 8900 build works with BBweather or Shazzam? That’s to the poster for mentioning Pandora!

Also, does anyone use 5.0.x and UMA? Curious how stable that is..

By: Nikolaus

Nikolaus — Thu, 07 May 2009 21:51:27 +0000

I have found that:
Live Messenger – Works
Yahoo Messenger – Works
Facebook – Does Not Work (Not In Apps Menu)
MySpace – Does Not Work (Not In Apps Menu)
Poynt – Works
Viigo – Works (Needs Latest Alpha)
Opera Mini – Does Not Work

I really want Opera Mini to work!! If anyone thinks this list is wrong, please let us know.

Works great. Pandora works in this OS! Faster than .90. Browser screams! Overall OS is snappier as well. Fuzzy font issue is fixed in camera, still there on the homescreen (PM is anyways). Random fat font on emails is still there, unfortunately. Browser works out of the box now, no workaround necessary! Enjoy!

Brave enough?? Not I, I’ve bricked many BB’s in my day. I’ll wait and hear some feedback before I take the plunge.

Anyone brave enough to try this on their 8900?
