As I said initially, and you obviously did not catch : You cannot request links for a Beta... and your thread specifically does that!

I even posted 3 links to other threads on this topic, that you may have found if you searched. I went outta my way to get those for you since you did not take the time to look.

Now, tell me... how did I not try to help?! I pointed you in 3 directions... pick one and read! And you even acted as if you didn't think this file was a Beta.



How did you not realize that after my initial post... and why did you take so much offense?!

I was only making you aware of the facts and pointing you in the right direction...
VWS!

I thought the same thing. Every time I read a post on that I check mine on my BB and it's fine.

that seems to be a problem no matter that forum it is. on another one i am on, i actually did a step by step tutorial on how to use the search function. needless to say, some got very **** hurt over it.

I appreciate what you're saying but let's just respect the rules and the mods - they're both here for our community's protection!!
michelle... please stop with the common sense.... you are hurting my brain! lol

Hmmm? Okay... back to the OP... were did it ever really say... I am looking for...beta....4.5.0.69 rel 92? New builds come out and leaked by someone... somewhere.. and it has to come from RIM at some point?? Right? Lets all just relax and know its just a damn phone. No reason to be harsh on anyone over that... is there? Sure rules are rules... but lets just give it a break.. everything has gotten out of control over all the crap. I could see if they were looking for an Apple product.

Back to the OP, "...sooooo.......where is it?". Does sound to me a lot like "I am looking for...beta....4.5.0.69 rel 92" if you include his title of "4.5.0.69 rel 92 ????".

The problem for CrackBerry is that they cannot allow non-released (beat, if you wish) links to be posted. This is for copyright reasons. You see, we are not really supposed to have any access to beta (no yet publically released) OSs. RIM could start legal action, as they already have against some sites, against CrackBerry. So we all really do have to tread carefully. Also if RIM find the sites that are providng download facilities, they have them shut down, pronto. This too has happened.

So when someone who is fairly new to these forums pops up and says "Gimme da noo vershun.", it just cannot be.

The way to do this is to watch, read, contribute and notice who seems to have the new version that you want so much. Then you PM thm politely and see what they say. Please remember that no-one in hare has any obligation whatsoever to even respond to a PM (although I always do if the are polite. Those that are not I report to the moderators). Nor, does any other member have an absolute right to the latest version.

There is a de facto mini-club in here. This is not deliberate but when you deal with people over time, you do gain confidence in them. In my own case some these people helped me a lot in my early life with BlackBerry ownership. If I can pay them back the sme way that they helped me forward, then I would do so over someone whom I did not know. I am sure that you can get the gist of this.

Finally as successful OS upgrade is not guaranteed so just handing over a link may well involve that person in a heap of support work too. SOme of us here (not many) actually do have lives outside of CrackBerry so it may just not be convenient to that person to respond for a day or so.

What you are looking for IS out there.

Arguing on the internet is like competing in the special olympics... even if you win, you're still "special"...

That is very true but like most things in life, you tend to get more out of it if you put more into it and have a positive attitude - not that I am saying you don't - but you know what I mean, I am sure.

Arguing is not what CrackBerry is about. We are all here because we are enthusiasts of Blackberrys. I would say that at times we are guilty of being in 'violent agreement' and people who want the latest are somtimes guilty of over-enthusiasm.

Arguing with someone when what you really want is a PM with a link will get you nowhere other than an empty inbox.

Plus the hard facts of doing this are clearly laid out above. Proof of this is the link that I have worked fine on 7/30 and now does not. The site carries this message.

"This file is suspected to contain illegal content and has been blocked. After the file has been blocked for 7 days it will automatically be deleted, if the block is not removed by RapidShare. For this reason, a download of this file is currently not possible."

RIM has clearly had this link shut down. Never was there a clearer resolution to a thread than this.

Could not agree with you more.
