Hi, so I upgraded recently when tmobile released 4.5 and, honestly, I don't notice an improvement in my curve.
Some things I'm wondering about:
1) Video - I don't see an option for playing videos, such as Youtube. All I see is: [flash .. blah blah blah] where the video should be.
2) Appearance of email - not much of a difference here. I'm still getting the e-mails with all the crap at the beginning.. DOCTYPE//*!1PXSOLID.. know what I mean. I downloaded a free trial of Empower mail viewer, which disappeared after I upgraded to 4.5. For such an expensive smartphone, one would think that Blackberry would provide a better email viewer. Empower is great, but $29 to see your mail properly.
On the plus side, my bb is now supported by third party applications such as XM radio..woo hoo.. oh, no, as someone else mentioned.. XM on a mobile phone "sounds like a cheap FM radio."
So, why the hype?10-29-08 02:07 PM - YouTube under 4.5 is easy, once you know. I had to ask. Go here on your phone http://www.hostj2me.com/d/6696/youtube.jad and you will soon have a link on your phone's desktop that will now show YouTube vids. Note that the conversion is done by YouTube so what you get is what you get. You also need to make sure that you APN is set. Go to Options, Advanced Options, TCP and make sure that the correct data is in all 3 fields. Your carrier can help you here.Hi, so I upgraded recently when tmobile released 4.5 and, honestly, I don't notice an improvement in my curve.

Your email should display html just fine but you need to resend your service books before it will work. There are 3 ways to do this.
- go to you cariier's BIS site on your PC, login and send your Service Books that way.
- go to the BIS site using the Email Setup Application on your Blackberry.
- call your carrier and ask them to do it for you. HWilst you are on the phone have them help you set yuo a BIS account if you do not already have one as there is a recurring requirement to resend Service Books after ugrades.Last edited by Pete6; 10-29-08 at 02:51 PM.
