Hey guys,
Well i tried to update the OS on my 8310 and right now its stuck on 'Connecting to Device'. It went through a bunch of things, I walked away and came back and well its been on this for awhile now. 20-30mins or so. The device itself has the colorful circle spinning on it. Did my 8310 crap out and now I'm SOL??

Thanks for the info.

Should I wait for the progress bar to finish? At the rate its going it may take close to an hour but I'm kind of nervous to just pull the battery.

DOnt unplug

the colorful circle, could be a themed icon you had, that part can take up to 45 mins

wait to see if you ever get an error.

If you get error 507, you have a device with no OS on it. Start over again, do not unplug until it says update successful...

Yes patience is key!!
I owe you one. Not sure how though!!
You saved my phone!!

On a side note. Is there info somewhere that tells me what exactly has been changed/added to the phone with this upgrade? I'm currently looking around the site(i'm new to the crackberry community(and to blackberry's in general)). I'm sure I'll find it if I keep looking!!

Thanks again!!
