Just got an anonymous tip from an anonymous reader (Lets call him Mr J). They found OS 4.5.0.55 online for the 8320. The 8320 has been having a rough time with OS releases but hopefully this latest version will work out.
One example of where 4.5.0.55 can be found is at this link:

Cmccrary released a slick new theme using the new Plazmic CDK. He created the same theme in a couple different variations. Different strokes and all. The themes look nice and clean and the blue highlighting actually looked pretty good with a couple of my Backgrounds. Nothing extravagant but still shows off what you can do [...]

MonkeyBizIU, a frequent poster at Pinstack.com, has created a cool looking theme called ‘BoldBerry’ for the 81xx and 83xx Blackberry devices. The theme uses the Blue futuristic background and icons we’ve seen on some of the earlier Blackberry Bold images floating around on the net. I must say, this is probably one of the best [...]
