BlackBerry Roundup: Friday, March 12, 2025

Here we go for the first BlackBerry Roundup!
9650 Leak
Not only do all 5 of you with a 9650 get a new OS (5.0.0.533), but it also comes with the “Bold 9650 User Guide.” So I guess it’s official; the Tour2 is now the Bold 9650…until RIM changes it again.

9550 Replacements Available at VZW
Verizon has started replacing Storm2’s with a newer version with a better-responding screen. Though not nearly as bad as with the 9530, some users have had issues with their screen not responding in extra-cold temperatures. Thanks to BerryScoop for the tip!
T4BB and LinkedIn apps soon
Per the BlackBerry Connection Newsletter, Twitter for BlackBerry and LinkedIn apps will be available soon. No exact date but here’s what we know (with a way to sign up for updates – thanks CrackBerry)
Foursquare update
Everyone’s favorite “look where I’m at” app got the bump to v1.7. Not too much has changed, just a smoother running app. Download it here through your BB browser.
UberTwitter Beta 7
UberTwitter Beta 7 (V.970) was released this week. Again, mostly bug fixes in this update. Full change log here. Download via your BB browser here.
9700 and 9630 get OS leaks, with Official VZW 8530 OS soon
The Bold 9700 and Tour 9630 both got OS leaks this week, in the form on 5.0.0.545 and 5.0.0.488, respectively. Also, the 8530 is said to be getting a new OS update soon. No exact date, but we do know it will be 5.0.0.508.
