I read where a few users said that Viigo wouldn't work with it which is a deal-breaker for me.

ohhh just went to www.beejive.com on my bb browser im using beejive v1.1.1

i actually just went to beejive on my bb browser using os 5.0 and it told me my bb storm isnt compatible yet.... wierd try just downloading through DM i had it on my phone before when i was on os4.6 thats why it carried over.

You will all be happy to know that custom themes are now supported. I did a reboot to test my theme and it came back up without an uncaught exception error! Good news for quickpull users. 4.6 themes work on 5.0. Also the reboot only took about 2 mins
