My girlfriend has the Verizon Wireless 8830 WE. She thinks there is a software update, but she doesn't want the 4.5 beta for her phone. Her version is 4.2.2.148 (Platform 3.0.0.67). Is there a more current version of her OS? If so, where can one get this update?
I have 4.2.2.196 and I'm very happy with it. There is no Docs2Go but I can view word attachments. The email viewer is plain text, but I prefer plain text anyway. I always pick plain text when I subscribe to mailing lists, etc. As for links in email, yes they are ugly but I realy don't mind. For me the biggest down side is no proper support for Mac OS X. If there was an upgrade available that I wanted, I would have to "borrow" a windows machine to install it.
.196 is fine with me also. I tried installing a couple of the beta 4.5s and, for the amount of hassle it was, personally I decided that that improvements weren't worth it. I'll wait until Sprint releases an official version for the 8830; if they don't (as speculation indicates) I'll wait 'till - upgrade to a Storm/Bold/Curve. In the meantime, Empower email viewer and a recently acquired theme from Elecite (yes, they do have a nice one for 4.2 still) will do as a substitute for an OS upgrade
