Have you tried DeviceInfo.getOSVersion()?

It depends on whether you want the software version or the platform version. What's the difference?

Software Version: the version of the applications (Address book, browser, calendar, etc.)
Platform Version: the version of system software (Java core software, radio code, etc.)

If you want the platform version, this is good for API version 4.0 and up:

String platform = DeviceInfo.getPlatformVersion();

If you want the software version, there are two answers. From 4.3 onward, you can use:

String OSversion = DeviceInfo.getSoftwareVersion();

For pre-4.3, it's a little more complicated:

int[] handles = CodeModuleManager.getModuleHandles();
int size = handles.length;
String OSversion = "unknown";
// check module version for a standard RIM module
// (we'll use the ribbon app, per RIM article DB-00150)
for (int i = size - 1; i >= 0; --i) {
    if (CodeModuleManager.getModuleName(handles[i]).equals(
            "net_rim_bb_ribbon_app")) {
        OSversion = CodeModuleManager.getModuleVersion(handles[i]);
        break;
    }
}
