I was at the Verizon software update page for for Blackberry this morning and it appears (but I am not positive) that there is an update to the stock .77 software version that comes with the 8330s.
I downloaded it, but don't have time to confirm that it is version 101. However, the help text says that it is:
"Verizon Wireless is pleased to announce new software enhancements
for your BlackBerry� Curve� 8330 smartphone. The RIM� OS 4.5.0 release
101 update includes the latest feature improvements for your device."
The page is clear as mud. It says that the software release is v4.5 (updated 10/31/2008). Another spot on the page it says it is "Patch Name: Release 202"
I have to go to work now, but I figured someone would want to play around with this if it is indeed a new version.
