This is some sweet news for BlackBerry Curve 8330 users. TerryK over @CrackBerry Forums posted a screenshot confirming that the Boost Mobile BlackBerry Curve 8330 will be shipping with OS 5.0.0.438. That is before Sprint, Verizon, and other CDMA carriers have even mentioned a 5.0 build coming.
Sadly this 5.0.0.438 (or even Boost Mobile at all) has yet to show up on the BlackBerry downloads site but hopefully it will soon or somebody will manage to extract the OS from one of these devices.
So any of you waiting for OS 5.0 for your 8330?
Thanks to everybody who sent this one in!

I hope, and I wait for 5.0 for my (Verizon) 8330, but I don’t think I’ll ever see an official release. I’ve seen so many “it could be coming soon” rumors for so long, but my guess is Verizon isn’t even working on it, nor do they have plans to.

Any idea if this will apply to the 8330m? There have only been leaks for the regular 8330 but the hardware is the same for both of these devices just the difference between ESN and MID.

Boost Mobile is “a division of Sprint” according to http://www.boostmobile.com/about/mediacenter/index.html …

It is available on the website now. Just follow the link for the BlackBerry downloads site and select Boost Mobile.
