It is almost easier to list what device OS has not been updated over the weekend. I am not sure if all these pre-OS 5.0 updates are a good sign for 5.0 coming soon but hopefully they are just clearing out the pipeline.
BlackBerry 8900 Curve OS 4.6.1.310 for the 8900 from AVEA
BlackBerry 8100, 8120, 8320, [...]
UPDATE: Sorry for the typo the new OS is 4.5.0.169 not 167.
James let me know that US Cellular has updated their OS for the 8330, 8330m, 8130, 8130m, & 8830. That brings them all up to date with the latest OS 4.5.0.169 which seems to be the latest OS available as far as I remember.

Quite a few readers let us know that Verizon has updated the official OS for the 8130 and 8330 this week. These are not the latest official version as we have seen on other carriers but many Verizon users are stuck with official OS versions due to corporate end user device policies.
8130 Pearl OS [...]
Tashanna let me know that Hutchison has released OS 4.5.0.161 for practically every GSM variant of the Pearl, Curve, & 8800. This is not as new as .163 for the 8310 but its the latest for all the rest.

The older 8XXX series devices have not been seeing much update love recently so I am trying to point out their upgrades when they are available. Cory let me know that AT&T has released OS 4.5.0.158 for the 8110 Pearl which is a newer version than even the latest leak. It weird that AT&T only [...]
Earlier this morning Raptor let me know that there was an Indonesian website that had OS 4.5.0.153 available for all GSM 8XXX series devices. He could not download them due to IP restrictions but it looks like he found a way around it! I have not seen an OS update for these devices in quite [...]
I had seen the iVista theme around and quite fancied its interesting design but I knew The Z Man (aka Zach) was making some interesting updates to it, so I was happy when he had it ready for me to do a review. Enter iVista2…available for a variety of devices such as the; 81xx, 83xx, [...]
I had never heard of Bluegrass Cellular until Tim let me know that they have released OS 4.5.0.138 for their 8130(ESN) & 8130m(MEID) devices. Turns out they are a carrier in Kentucky…
This is a newer build than the .131 released by Sprint a bit back for the 8130. No word back yet on if [...]
It seems that the Themes4BB store (which has been down these past few days) is finally back in action with a brand new store site. Still selling their popular themes for most BlackBerry devices, this new site is more user friendly and faster all around.
To introduce their new site, they’re offering a brand-new theme, designed [...]
A bit back we told you about an easy way to add Hebrew font support to your BlackBerry offered by Cheservices. Most of the requests for Hebrew, Russian, & Arabic support seem to come from Verizon users so I thought it is worthy to mention that Verizon has offered an official solution. If you have [...]
It was me who hit up Peter from BPlay this time wondering what he had been up to in new themes. Seems that they have been busy taking many of their popular existing themes and porting them over for the newer BlackBerry devices. Yet, in the mix, he had time to show us ladies some [...]
It’s always a treat when theme designer Brandy comes out with a new theme design. Her latest, ‘RegalBB‘ is all that and more. I was able to test the demo version for the Bold (which the only difference between the demo version and final version is that on the final version, the theme is completely [...]
Theme designer Seville is showing us ladies some love with his latest theme design, Pink.
Pink is for all the ladies out there who have been missing ‘girly’ theme designs for your BlackBerry. It comes in Bottom Zen and Today styles. I was able to play with this theme on my Bold and it runs very [...]
My buddy Chad from Themes4BB just told me about a new theme for sale in the ThemesBB store called, Noir. From the sounds of it, Chad had a hand in the design concept while amusic brought the theme creation to life. Either way, these guys make a great duo in themes as Noir is rich [...]
As I’ve mentioned before, I’ve been having some fun lately browsing through our store for new and interesting themes and it seems the folks at Vikysoft have just released their latest theme series called, ‘XBerry’. Available for 81xx, 83xx, 88xx (OS 4.5), 89xx & 9xxx devices, in a variety of styles, XBerry is a super [...]
OtterBox does not usually have sales even when they are trying to clear stock so I thought this was worth noting. Carl let me know that the OtterBox’s for the 8800 Series & Pearl 2 Series (8110/8120/8130) are now $10 off their original $49.95 price at OtterBox.com. $39.99 is still pretty steep if you [...]
In the wake of several Windows and Mac OS based themes we’ve seen coming out, the guys at Elecite have decided to do their take with Inspirat and Leopard.
Inspirat, based on Windows OS, is all about pop up menus (like the ‘start up’ menu that slides up on the main screen when you scroll over [...]
Looks like Oran over at VikySoft.Com has really put some thought into his latest theme release: BerryCat. When he first sent his email to me with a review version to test on my Bold, I wasn’t sure what to expect. But actually, I was delightfully surprised! It’s not that we haven’t seen animated themes before, [...]
I was excited when McKay at BPlay let us know about their brand new slide show style theme called, Cities of the World. If you remember, I did a post on their first slide show theme, SolarSlide not too long ago and really loved it! Cities of the World is based along the same lines, [...]
Update: After several requests, Jennifer has created a version of this theme for the 8100! You can access it, via a free registration to her site, here.
Jennifer from Cool Blackberry Themes has sent in one of her recent themes called, Beatles. You can probably guess the subject of the theme without even seeing the screen [...]
