I'm sorry if this was gone over, I did not find it with the search function, I have a Verizon 8830WE, is there an easy way to tell whether or not I should be using the software for the 8830 or the 8830m? Thanks all.

How to determine if you have an ESN or MEID based device.
From the main menu, select Options, then select Status.
ESN devices - On the Status screen you will see ESN on the display
MEID devices – On the Status screen you will see MEID on the display.
NOTE – You cannot install ESN-based software on a MEID device, nor can you install MEID-based software on an ESN device. They are NOT interchangeable.
FYI this is for the MEID device I think. < oops wrong info, it has both
# File name: 8830AMEA_PBr4.5.0_rel295_PL3.4.0.55_A4.5.0.175_Spr int_L.P.exe is ESN
# File name: 8830mAMEA_PBr4.5.0_rel295_PL3.4.0.55_A4.5.0.175_Sp r int_L.P.exe is MEID

Reason: wrong info.
Just watching this one, and since I have downloaded 175, my WE will just quit transmitting, until I do a battery pull. Everything else seems to be fine, any ideas?
And, if anyone knows, my letters up top showing what network I am on, sometimes they are in CAPS, sometimes in smalls. When in smalls, it seems like that is when it locks up. does anyone know what that means?
Thanks, Dig
I face a very strange problem after upgrading to Sprint OS 4.5.175. I do not get a beep during call waiting. Though call waiting is activated and when there is a waiting call, information is there on the screen but there is no beep/alert for this. Has any body else faced this problem. The problem was not there when I was on OS 4.2. Its very disgusting, don't know what's wrong. Please help.
added some memory leak issues . But still use it anyway... with some default cod's removal. Hope something new (better) will come up shortly, since there is no progress in hybrid's.
does this new os 4.5.0.175 work for verizon 8830we? is it the same downloading instructions.
asking because i noticed it said from sprint and ot took me to an information page to fill out and on top of the page it read "upgrade for sprint" just wondering?

Worked fine for my 8830 on Verizon using Apploader after deleting the vendor file. I also overwrote the java file with the Skunkd hybrid files posted in another thread) which also work fine.
To be honest, I don't see any difference between this and .169.

OS upgrade to .175 when smooth.
Had to do a battery pull as service did not start. Smooth operation afterward.
While deleting email, No option to delete on mailbox anymore.
Same memory leakage.
Sice I downloaded 4.5.0.175 to my BB 8830 WE from Verizon, I can't open my CNBC app. it takes me to a verizonwireless screen instead to the Blackberry screen and then gives me an error mesage 400: bad reqest.
I have the Verizone 4.5 version for 8830 WE and i am trying to upgrade to the 4.5.0.175 but i keep getting the message 'not connected to the internet'. Also i hv removed the memo pad and the documents to go which i would like to reinstall back. Please advice
I will make a new findings thread some time this weekend or early next week. I installed .186 eariler this week, so far it is better than .174. That will probably be my last 8830 findings thread though. I plan to get a 9650 on May 23rd
