Hey hey heeey, happy almost new year everyone.

I have a question, I saw sprint launched OS 5 for BB 8530... i was wondering, can I install that same os on my 8520, and wouldnt it work flawlessly? what are the diffreneces between 8530 and 8520? I searched and searched and couldnt find any...


TIA! :D

Sorry - the 8530 OS is only for the 8530. You can't put an OS for one model BB on another.

The 8530 is a CDMA device and the 8520 is GSM. 8530 has GPS. They are quite different. Smartphones, Cell Phones & Smart Phones at BlackBerry.com has a comparison feature which will assist you.
