BlackBerry OS 5.0 leaks for Storm 9530

Sure, BlackBerry firmware leaks are pretty much a dime a dozen — especially for the Verizon-branded Storm and its CDMA cousins in Canada — but how often is it that you've seen a 5.0 ROM leak? Not bloody often, so this one should get a few folks pretty fired up. This particular build is 5.0.0.140, and while some people have managed to successfully install it, we'd definitely recommend proceeding with extreme caution — the firmware's apparently originally from a Chinese site with no clear backstory, so the security of the update definitely can't be guaranteed (especially in light of that recent spyware scare). If you have a go at it anyway — and we know you probably will — let us know how it goes.
