BlackBerry OS 5.0 Leaked, Nothing Special

BlackBerry operating system 5.0 has found its way onto the Bold, packing little more than a facelift. Similar to what we’ve heard regarding the BlackBerry (NSDQ: RIMM) 9630 “Niagara” interface, everything is changed to look a little more like the BlackBerry Storm (such as how you edit ringtone profiles) . Google (NSDQ: GOOG) Gears support announced at the BlackBerry Developer Conference is in, as is remote file access promised by BlackBerry Enterprise Server 5.0. Memory usage information is broken down a little more sanely, with a tiny pie chart and collapsible menus. Overall, it’s the moderate, evolutionary upgrade you would expect from RIM: nothing crazy, but a few new treats to keep things moving forward.  It sounds like there are still a few bugs to work out, but it wouldn’t be crazy to expect OS 5.0 for the big BlackBerry show, WES, in May.
