Link takes me to a page that says the site has been moved or no longer exists. What carrier had this OS for the 8310?

[raemax08]

Can't get there either. Is it better to load this version, the 4.3.1 beta or just wait for the 4.5? It's soooooo confusing...

[jsanders]

This 4.2 version is the ONLY officially released version from RIM or the carriers. 4.3 is not available to the public, and 4.5 could be weeks away.

[raemax08]

I'll wait for the "official" version. I don't want any problems with my BB. Thanks!

How is the .194 version different than the .170 version?

[lush242000]

I upgraded yesterday with no problems. I upgraded a coworkers today with no problems. Looks like a clean release so far. Thanks for link.

Thanks amazinglygraceless, I'm updating now....

[drake.stefani]

.194 is faster and smoother than .184 plus it uses slightly less memory and I think they fixed the memory leak I just finished updating 5 8310 BB's.

Flashed today. Work without a glitch. Run smoother, using less memory, camera is more reactive, browser is faster, Java seems to be more responsive ....

For any other inveterate OS upgraders


1. Make sure you have the latest version of Desktop Manager installed. It's 4.3, download from BlackBerry - BlackBerry - Sys Req V4-3

Do you HAVE to use DM 4.3? Will DM 4.2 SP2 work? 4.3 has never been very stable for me.

[white rob]

finally updated

What are the advantages of upgrading to the New OS for the curve, seems like a lot of work for no noticable gains.
