Now that folks have had some time to play with that batch of leaked BlackBerry firmware from yesterday, a couple of solid new features have emerged, namely threaded SMS (a feature that some feel BlackBerry should have had years ago), a simultaneous vibrate and ring profile (the long-term demand for which has spawned a surprisingly successful application), a revamped application list with filter options, and theme previewing. Screenshots of 5.0.0.191 on the BlackBerry Tour 9630 show off the whole lot of changes, and although they might seem like no-brainers, it’s good to get theses gaps plugged. Unfortunately, the new BlackBerry Messenger wasn’t included in this particular build, but it’s probably safe to assume we’ll see it in the public launch of OS 5.0.
