Yes this can used with verizon, sprint or any other carrier, just remember to delete the vendor.xl file.
No, this can't be used on an 8520.

Anyone try it out yet? Comparisons to .734?

[anon(140126)]

So, what's the changes?

[dgordo]

Not sure. I have loaded, seems faster than .734 and the radio seems more consistent.

[flint456]

Just loaded this build and i agree its faster than .734, still testing

[geekymcfly]

how would I update using a mac?..i updated to .734 using my wife's PC because I didnt know how to do it on a mac...

I'm not a MAC user, so I don't really know. But you can start or post a thread here, and MAC users might be able to help you.

I am getting this now and throwing it on my BB... I need default services etc back anyways..

[decypher44]

So far, so good. Don't notice any improvements yet. I'll be able to tell after a couple of days (battery, radio reception, etc). At least everything seems to be working OK.

[dgordo]

Please sticky

[HoDawg1975]

Everything seems the same. I've had it for a few hours now. Well see how long batt life is. Reception is still the same.

Works good so far.. I think my performance was a little better on .734 ... I use encryption and password etc though..

On a side note I was trying to get default services back like the standard internet browser ... Currently I can only use WIFI atm for browsing or downloading stuff.. Does anybody know what the correct process is for wiping and restoring everything??

Thanks in advance..

[arikado]

can someone tell me how each of the following are with this version?:

1) Picture/photos quality? is it still a bit pixelated, or perfect?

2) Calendar birthdays mess up? - this is probably a given since every update messes it up, but i'll ask anyways.

3) any music player issues?

4) any reception issues?

Thanks.

I just bought me a blackberry curve 8530 and I was checking and seeing if anyone knew how to change the email address

thanks,

Seems to be a good release. It seems the reception is a little better then in the .734 release. Can't say anything about battery life yet and I don't see any issues with the pictures.

[iMiiTH]

I'm running .734 and it says it's a lower version?

[decypher44]

Still going fine. Battery life seems good. Photos are good. Apps running fine (even beta apps). Haven't had any hiccups at all. Seems like a safe upgrade.

Yes it's a lower version.

[dgordo]

Yes it's a lower version.

Uh, no it isn't.

[arikado]

I jsut updated.

this is by far my most favorite update- no issues so far whatsoever. not even the calendar birthday issue.

photos are still pixelated slightly but whatever. i think it just might be the phone.

[anon(140126)]

Uh, no it isn't.

Actually it is. 5.0.0.734 is lower than 5.0.0.782.

[dgordo]

Right, I believe he was saying that this was a lower version than .734.
