Telus 8830 WE and OS 4.5.0.205

Hello folks,

So I'm thinking about getting the 8830 WE from Telus, they ship the device with 4.2.2.176. This is also the most recent update from Telus / BlackBerry for the 8830.

US Cellular has released 4.5.0.205 for their 8830 WE's.. Could I load this on to my Telus 8830 WE (and do the whole delete vendor.xml bit, properly load the software) Would it work if I did it?

I want 4.5 because of the support for streaming media, so in the end this will aid in my decision to get an 8830.

Can I do it?

Thanks guys!

4.5 OS is a must for any 8830.

It is actually Build 205, which consists of 4.5.0.138 (3.4.0.30).

I've got a Telus 8830 WE. I'm using the Verizon 4.5 OS without any issues. :)
