Software For BlackBerry® Curve (TM) 8320 smartphone

BlackBerry Handheld Software v4.5.0.255 (EastAsia)

Package Version: 4.5.0.255
Consisting of:

* Applications: 4.5.0.162
* Software Platform: 2.7.0.103
* File name: 8320EastAsia_PBr4.5.0_rel255_PL2.7.0.103_A4.5.0.16 2_Vodafone_Essar_Limited.exe
* File size: 88.77MB

Note: The Software Platform and Applications version numbers can be found under Options-About screen on the handheld.

This will be a lower System Software than 4.5.0.161, but an upgrade on Core Applications

1. Download the files
2. Install the files to your PC. Vista users right click on the exe file and select Run as Administrator.
3. Delete the vendor.xml file, you can use search on your PC to do this. It's found here: c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader
4. Open Desktop Manager, connect your device, be sure it runs a back up, then run Application Loader. If you have 4.5.0.161 you will have to run Loader.exe found here: c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader
5. Do not touch the device until the prompt reads "Installation Complete" which could take as long as 45 minutes.

For the best way to upgrade your device click here.

Since the system platform is a rollback, if your on .161 and not having any trouble, wait.
I have little doubt there will be another release coming soon.

Thanks Wolf! I'll be giving this OS a try and keeping my fingers crossed in hopes that BBM 5.0 will work with this.

This was brought up a week or so ago. The platform number is lower than the platform number for .161. Makes me wonder if this OS is newer or not. What's the date for the loader files?

The system platform is slightly lower than 161, and I had issues with the same release on my 8100. The core apps are higher. It runs with less issues than 161.

Well, I guess I'll give it a try when I get back from vacation. Hard to believe there are less issues than .161. It's the best OS yet.

I felt the same way for about 2 weeks. Then things started to crop up. Now it really is the best OS ever.

I was getting fatal exceptions, delays with media, fast drops in file free and delays whenever any data was being transmitted.

Ok good to know...I haven't had delays or fatal exceptions. I'll keep an eye out and of course upgrade if I have issues

That's what we've been discussing. The 2.7.0.105 platform seems to have had some issues. They upgraded the core apps, and must not have had time to upgrade the platform before release.
