Reason: Add Verizon link
I did go ahead and download it; I'll just wait for some reviews before I decide whether to upgrade. I just don't want them to remove it again.
FYI -- I have a VZW 8330 (BES) and I put this OS on it. It has performed flawlessly (seriously), the best of the betas so far. I would say this is basically release quality. Highly recommended.
Feel free to ask specific questions if you have definite concerns.
I just installed this OS on my lunch break. I read all the instructions and and carefully completed the steps. I have been watching these threads for a couple of weeks and reading about all the bugs and learning as much as I could. when I saw the link to the BB site posted for .77 I decided to go with it! so far eveything is functioning normally. I have only noticed a couple of new features.. the HTML email seems really the best feature. I have only gotten a couple new emails so far. the media player has an equalizer----THANK YOU!! this is sure to enhance my listening as I do not have an MP3 player, my BB is IT. I checked the box for Documents to Go when it installed but have not looked at that feature yet. I have not tried MMS or noticed any enhancement to the web browser yet. of course I tried BB Maps, but no GPS and the geo tag feture of the camera does not work, but it was worth a try!
been running this for about 3 weeks on vzw. very stable, only issues i found were the speakerphone issue coming on when answering a call & if answer when on vibe in mid-vibe (hope that makes sense) there is a quick humm in the reciever. But Docs to go w/ sheet to go is awesome. Browser better, more memory. Go for it.
no wif-fi that i know of, but what do you need that for?
If there is no diffrence in updating this when you have the beta already then I wont go forward with it. But, if someone notices something diffrent, please let me know. Thank you
thanks, I just thought I had read on here somewhere that 4.5 would add this. I couldn't figure out how it could do that either since the phone didn't come with it. I actually live in the far northwest corner of N.C. where we don't get a very good cell signal, but I do have wireless in my house. So at home I mostly use my laptop. I downloaded 4.5 today at work, I'll install tomorrow. thanks for the update and stability reports.....
Hay guys, here's the link to the thread that lead me to believe the curve had WiFi....
I have yet to find the EQ on the media player. I am running the beta.
The EQ is there in this version. Seems to me like it was there in the Beta as well, are you looking in the right place? When you open the Media Player and you're looking at the five icon screen press the menu button and scroll to the bottom.

To me this version seems to be a lot more stable. You can edit & reply on this site with this version I couldn't with the beta. That's a plus. I'm still exploring it to see if I can find anything else.
My MMS still doesn't work with this version...that sucks!
