    Hey,
    I had someone help me update my phone so i could use BBM 5. While BBM works great my phone is soooooooooooooooo slow! its making me insane. Anyone else have this problem? Should I just upload my backup and downgrade? I had 4.0.77 or whatever and now i have 4.5.0.160.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    I don't think its the os that's slowing because I'm running a .160 hybrid and mine runs faster. I didn't update bbm so I'm not sure if its that slowing it down. Check your file free memory maybe you need to delete some things.

    .160 isn't a good OS for VZW.

    .131 is the most stable OS, you could try it.

    Is it still slow? Have you deleted history? What is your file free memory at?

    I've never had to take my BB to the store after an upgrade.

    Your BB is already activated, you run a backup and backup your third party apps before upgrading and after the upgrade everything is just as it was.

    DM will backup and restore your data automatically during the upgrade. The backups that you run are backups in case something goes wrong.

    The only thing you need to do after the upgrade is resend your service books and register in HRT.
