With BlackBerry OS version 5.0 coming up, Which is the highest BlackBerry OS version should I target my code so that I cover the maximum devices that are available in the market? To put it in other words, if I write code based on OS version 4.x I would be able to cover the devices including up to version 5.0, then what is the highest minor version should that x be?
Well, basically I need this information to develop applications that would cover many devices that are in the market using a single source base. I know that I might not fully utilise the potential of the latest apis, but when the application does not require the latest apis I would like to cover the maximum number of devices leaving out the ones that have been phased out of the market because they are too old, for example, I need to develop apps targeting version 3.6 to 4.0 as those devices either are/or being phased out by the newer devices that are available in the market. Hope it's clear!

Actually you should target 4.2.1+ and you will hit 97% of BlackBerry's out there. Don't forget, you don't want to cover all BB's, just those that can install apps :)

That's not really an answer to the question, so it's likely to be ignored. You'll do better asking this as a new question.
