may be a dumb question but does this matter that the above is chinese or that I am with another service provider

[anon(1081823)]

nou, the OS is provided by RIM not by the different carriers

Any ideas on how long the install stops on the "wait for Device Initialization " phase ??

The progress bar has not moved in a long time ..while on the BB itself I see it displays a message as

Blackberry Platform 2.5.0.40 and then the list with many items
Saved messages. etc....

Is this install hung ??

Any ideas most appreciated...it's a 8820 I am trying to update.

Thanks.

Same for me I am used to using a windows mobile device and each Rom is usually significantly different. Thus, far I can't say the same with blackberries

[A-dam-addict]

yeah win mobile is also easier o.s to pimp!

i had a o2 XDA2 that was maxed out but i gotta admit i do prefer my 8820

[chavist]

The os that came with my blackberry is actually higher version than the one listed how is this the latest os

Is 4.5 for 8820 final at last?

[gwhitegeog]

My 8820 is one year old, is a UK version, using Orange Europe as the carrier. Is it necessary or possible for me to upgrade the OS to 4.5 (which presumably will be on all new Blackberries soon?). What advanatges would I have? I realise there is a full HTML browser / functionality but I already have Opera Mini. Is it worth my spending an hour on the upgrade, with the possibility that the machine might crash or is the upgrade recommended by RIM? Gary

[A-dam-addict]

well all i can say is i am on orange with 8820 and i upgraded to 4.5 there are a few diffrences deffintly worth the hour it takes.

[johncutts]

Thanks for the info!!! will try!

[scotland007]

A-dam, what version of 4.5 are you using? is it the Vodafone release for the 8800?

[piziying]

well all i can say is i am on orange with 8820 and i upgraded to 4.5 there are a few diffrences deffintly worth the hour it takes.

This OS is very good.But I was so.

I have an 'American' 8820 with 4.2.2.169 (Platform 2.4.067).

I have Desktop Manager 4.3 installed, and it has communicated with my 8820. I downloaded and installed this OS version, deleted the .xml file, re-connected the BB, started BBDM and it does not prompt me to update the device.

What am I doing wrong?

I'm not an expert, but i think you need to upgrade to Desktop Manager v 4.5

good luck

I installed desktop manager 4.5 and my software version is 4.2.2.160 but it doesn't prompt me to upgrade.The point is it has the software provided by my carrier.Can I upgrade it manually to the officially provided release?

[imnewer]

good, now I can get a OS 4.2.2.184, thanks so much!
