Much better, the original poster should fix their link.

[jcastag]

So far I heard that the lightning bolt on the battery flashes now when it's charging. Seems they are starting to add even more eye candy.

[jric92]

Like Fedge, I'd love to know how this works, huge thank you for the early adopters!
I'm looking for information on battery and such, the basic info I guess.

thanks seven, can you fast forward mp3's with the media keys yet? that would sell me on the os right now lol..

[tonyb81]

can anyone forward me to a link on how to install os's from other wireless companies on your phone? i'm on verizon and want to flash this.

[decypher44]

Can't wait to get home and give her a try. Hope even better battery life. Man, mine draied FAST today. Don't know why. Been using .782, and had good battery life until today. Maybe just a fluke.

[motoroid7]

I haven't had a chance to install it yet, but I'll make sure to report back with my findings as soon as possible. Hopefully someone else can answer that question for you sooner than I can. The download is going insanely slow for me right now. I have about 28 minutes left on it.

follow the lecture link in my signature.. im not sure why you would want to flash the phone for that though...

[thiswickedninja]

Any comparisons to .734 and .782? If there's any good news from this update I'll download it.

I'm calling it now.....although RIM didn't say this, I think 6.0 will come to 8530. Even if it's a leak. I remember very well when we didn't think 5.0 would hit the 8330, then we got it.

I know this has nothing to do with this release, but it got me thinking....don't be surprised.

[Maxwell_BD]

I'm installing this now on my Windows Machine!! Will report back ASAP!

I wouldn't be surprised. It's mostly a matter of how long it's going to take.

[jamal621]

Noob question. How so you upgrade your blackberry os on the desktop manager version 6 because I don't see it know where and the step by step guide on this forum tell you how to do it from the desktop manager version 4.5. Also can I upgrade it from .654 to this current one and of course I have sprint
