AFAIK the releases from each carrier are more or less the same. They all include multiple languages, and it just depends on what language you choose during the initial setup. I have downloaded this and I am loading it right now.
Since this is an "official release" is it the same thing that I downloaded as the 4.5.0.37 beta a week or so ago, or is this the final version of what I downloaded as a beta?
Either way, it's good news b/c this probably means 4.5 proper will be on AT&T very soon.
bes will probably have to reset, I have bes mail from mobile carrier stateside and they never have a problem with my calling in to reset ent act. or teh fact that Im running an o/s that hasn't officially launched on my provider.

There is a .42 beta floating around. The Vodafone release is .37.

The .42 is a Beta. This I believe is the official version for Vodafone. I doubt very highly that a carrier would link up to a beta. Can you just imagine the customer service nightmare that would be.

That's what I was afriad of. My mail is corporate and they would have a problem with having to reconfigure something because of an unofficial OS. Looks like I will have to hope ATT decides to release the OS someday.

I certainly agree. However, Laydros asked if this was a final version of the beta he was using. I was just indicating that there is a .42 beta version floating around now. So, .37 may be the official version released for Vodaphone but there will certainly be other versions to follow since it hasn't been released by other carriers yet and people are able to get the .42 version "underground". After all, .37 was a beta release at one time as well.
Installed and running. A very quick 5 minute check seems to look good. I remember reading about problems with Google Maps, and it seems to work fine, but I haven't tried it outside yet to test GPS. Also GMail seems to be working. It has the slightly newer look in the basic apps (like messaging) and the new font, plus the working video recorder and better web browser. I'll update if I start running into problems.
jimmers: we are on the same page I think, just saying it in different ways.
Nonetheless, and against my better judgment I'm going to load it just to see what it does.
Just read on another site that if you have colourpearl on your 8100 to uninstall it before upgrading as its playing havoc with installation as its not compatible with 4.5
Call me cautious but why can't I find this vodaphone release on the Blackberry support site carrier list? This the same .exe file of the beta .37 I downloaded and decided to not install.
