Can you explain this a bit more or point me in the direction of where to start? A google tells me there's plenty of hybrid stuff for the Storm but I'm not seeing a noddy guide or much for non-Storm devices.

I'm fairly technical (I'm an experienced C++ software developer), but at the same time I don't want to brick my Curve. When you say 'brick', do you mean the proper definition of literally making your device unrecoverable, or the misconceived definition of making your device not work as it should, but it's recoverable?

Now that BBM 5.0 has leaked out...and has been shown to run on 4.5 devices (Curve, Pearl, 8XXX). There is a good possibility that 5.0 is being further developed for those devices. Only time will tell. I have run a very early 5.0 beta on my 8310 (5.0.0.29) and it did have a lot of issues.

I'll take the under, and say you won't see anything else past .53 for those devices.

Bet a dollar?
