I'm developing a mobile application using Backbone, jQueryMobile and Phonegap. The app works great on Android, iOS and BB >= 6, but on BB5 as expected there are countless issues coming up.
I'm now facing problems with Backbone itself. I'm debugging it and looks like the problem is in the routes definition. The application crashes on start time due to something related to it (still investigating, but debugging is painful for BB5...).
Also, I read that BB5 won't play nice with hash listening, which Backbone relies on to do the navigation, so I am wondering if somebody has been able to create a backbone app on OS5, or is it simply not possible?
I'm updating this question just in case someone faces the same issue:
Short story: it's not possible to run Backbone on OS5. I debugged into backbone and some instructions with regular expressions were causing a crash. Even if these are fixed in the future, we determined that the js support was simply not good enough and finally discarded the OS5 version.
