Oh I totally understand that I was just wondering is there supposed to be a Wireless Update option under Advanced Options in settings now? Or when the 25th rolls around will we batt pull and a new update will show up or something?

Sorry for the confusion

Its cool. On the 25th you will have to go to wireless update and it should show then that you can update to .508.

[Chaldo]

Oh ok, I understand now

thanks

[tediprude]

maybe ist me. but i can't seem to find the .508 anywhere on AT&T. All i see in the software package version of .438. Can anyone else confirm?

I'm rocking the Rogers version of .282 and it has all the things mentioned. VVM, Wiki (whatever), the weather thingy, 3g to 2g switch, etc. The only OS upgrade I saw at AT&T was the same one you saw. I even did an OTA installation of a supposedly better version of .167 - but NOTHING changed as far as battery life or anything else.

Rogers .282 is like my Bold on steroids right now. Super battery life and no more searching for that mythical 3G signal that does not exist in the area where I live.

Life is good on .282 is all I'm gonna say for right now.(*weg* - *no longer trusting at&t*)

Peace...

[ALpHa.Q.RoUgH]

Easy buddy, I hear a lot of people's bubbles being burst by that statement! LOL But being that I work for AT&T (Not in the Mobility section), it would be typical AT&T fashion to a) release it on time but with NONE of the bugs/details worked out. b) Just miss the release date and act as if nothing happened! I'm hoping for neither of those. I'm tired of my Youmail battery drain and I'm really looking forward to VVM.

Why are you waiting until the 25th for VVM? You can get it now, as clearly shown if you read the thread here. If you get an ***** AT&T rep, that's one thing, but seeing as a bunch of us have already called up AT&T and had VVM added this week, there's no sense just waiting.

BTW, .282 sucks, and I wish people would stop saying otherwise. 1/2 hour media card scans are a major league bug.

[AClayeJ]

Has anyone confirmed exactly what VVM will cost? Is it an extra charge to use it or will it be free?

There is no cost for the VVM

[scoot05redss]

I'm on the phone with AT&T right now and he's telling me to access this COU site. Http://newcou.edc.cingular.net But I cant pull it up. He said add it there and then he can provision it. He can pull it up but can't change my settings. I'm ge tting frustrated!!! im being told to wait til the 25th!!

[scotts11]

Are you an AT&T employee?

[rockinfigs]

i called att business care customer service and they couldnt add vvm for me..told me the option wasnt there..guess i have to wait.

in your opinion. its way better than 266 for me, which would reboot the moment i listened to any online station using aac+.

My 8G card scans almost instantly. (earlier betas used to take a long time and have missing files.. i solved this by deleting all of the .dat files on the card. Rebooting rebuilt them and everything has been fine since).

[scoot05redss]

I am! Not with Mobility, and I'm not on a work computer. So i guess the page is internal only. I might try it monday on the intranet connection.

Does anyone know if you upgrade to this OS will it automatically replace my BBM 5 with the version its packaged with? And if it does Would I be able to re install BBM 5 if I still have the original DL of it? Kind of sucks if it does seeing that BBM 5 is running flawlessly and afraid to reinstall it again.

[damnyooneek]

It's free. Nice.

charging us more would be a big rip off since the $30 iphone plan comes with this as a feature

Good question. I would assume since the BBM files are in the OS and 5.0 is leaked, that it would revert us back. Or if you have the BBM 5.0 files on your computer, you can just load them into the OS before installing! Just my 2 cents!
