Hi everyone,

Just found (on our fellow BB enthousiasts site pinstack.com) a link to a Telefonica Venezuela official BlackBerry OS download.
Because I don't have enough points to post a url I have put the link in my signature

[cipo80]

Barrels, have you try this release?

[barrels]

Upgrading now...
Will post results as soon as it's finished and I have had some hands-on.

[Taryon]

I'd be particularly interested in seeing if battery life improves at all with this new OS

[barrels]

The upgrade has finished, the whole process took about 20 minutes! That's a lot faster than what I was used to with my 8820.
No problems during the upgrade process. (BTW: I'm using DM 4.6)

At the moment the device is busy with Enterprise Activation (yep, I'm on BES)
As soon as that is finished I'll start hammering away

Will update the thread if there's something new to report

Great!But, my wipe + load 4.6.1.101 take 5 minutes with DM 4.7...

[SLVR6]

Great find!

[cipo80]

Ok i'm on .114

First bugfix from .101..now the profiles is editable without crash!

[Pete6]

Dang, I just and, I do mean just, finished upgrading to .109.

[Rockbmi]

Same thing here Pete6. Not good might upgrade to 114 tomorrow.

[iliveinyourhead]

i could edit profiles with out crash on .101?

also to post URLS with out 10 posts... post the message with the automatic URL parsing disabled (check box under the text input window) once posted edit the post and the URL will be parsed

[barrels]

Ok, after playing with my favorite CrackBerry for a little while, here are a few things that I noticed are different from v.101

• Camera response is much better. After autofocussing, when I press the 'shutter' button, it takes the pic almost immediately. No more 2 sec waiting! Thumbs up for RIM!
• Media player response is much better, with video and with music
• Hard to measure, but it seems that the overall responsiveness has improved
• Obviously, it's too early to say anything about battery life... I will update on that tomorrow

And this is what it looks like with the updated OS:

[dphorgan2]

Holy sh*t there is almost no lag in the autofocus now, like said above

[Pete6]

Even more memory. Let's see in a coupl eof days what happens.

[Taryon]

Looking good so far, guys.. very promising. I may have to bite the bullet and update sooner than later

[mpscan]

.114 installed a few minutes ago, so far so good. Will update with any issues or things that I see have changed.

[Benbow]

So, even though the download site is in spanish, its multilanguage and will intall on my BB in English, right?

Your warranty won't be void. If you encounter any problems, you can always go back to your original Rogers firmware. Even if you need to get your bb replaced under warranty, it's no problem.
