    Alright, I'm noticing that I'm in "1X" much more often now, weaker signal strength from upgrading to this 4.5 pre-release. Sometimes I even get booted off the BIS and shows as "1x" and very rarely as "1xev" most of the time I'm in "1XEV" but more often I'm seeing that I'm in "1X."

    I experienced the same when I first upgraded the OS suddenly I had no EVDO connection which sent any calls during data transfers to voicemail. I then downgraded and called sprint to see what was wrong they put me through a bunch of tests and they couldn't figure it out and they eventually told me that I probably needed a replacement phone. Eventually a day or so later EVDO started working good so no more problems. So I guess either call sprint or give it some time...that worked for me.

    today seems to be a bit better, so maybe it is the network.

    I did the upgrade last night.
    Did not have to delete the vendor file, as I'm with sprint.
    Did not wipe my berry prior to upgrading.

    The only trouble I had was with my email's enterprise activation (I got the password in advance from IT,) but I stopped it and re-started and all was fine.
    Working great today.
    It's faster, and I'm liking the html mail.

    I noticed the addition of an icon called MDS control center...what is this?

    Ok, so I just got my 8330 Curve from Sprint a few days ago...I just updated the device manager to the latest one (4.7). I downloaded the newest OS and tried to install it...the autoinstaller seemed like it worked fine, until I opened up my Desktop Manager. For some reason it was not recognizing that the newest OS had installed, and all it was showing was the current version that my phone is running (4.3.0.127)...I even tried what someone suggested earlier which was to go offline and try it, no dice.

    Please help?

    I don't think I ever had an option to force roaming. Not sure if there is a solution for it. Regarding desktop software version, you should be able to use any version. If it doesn't work with one try and older one. I used dektop 4.3 and 4.5 to do all my OS updates. To extract the exe from the zip file you can download an app such as winzip or winrar however if you have XP or vista the ability to access and extract from zip files is built in.

    update: just got my first speaker blast.
    Wow...let me pick up my eardrum and put it back together.
    does anyone know if this can be heard on both sides of the conversation or just on the blackberry end?
    the person calling me was talking to someone next to him, while waiting for me to answer...so he didn't hear anything.

    I am still using 4.3 by sprint and was wondering does the speaker blast happen on everycall or just now and again? My next question is has everyone that has upgraded had the speaker blast or is it random from phone to phone?

    Out of 16 calls today, I've had 3 speaker blasts.
    I'm just keeping the earpiece at a distance at the beginning of the call.
    I like the HTML email too much to unistall.

    I always hated all of the links in emails, where pictures and graphics should normally be.

    Although I've not tried this newest version yet, I've followed the comments very closely. The speakerphone blast appears to be an intermittent issue. I am back on 4.3 now, which is no biggie since I have Empower to allow HTML email. I had tried the 4.5.122/4.5.089 upgrade though and had the speakerphone blast occur a few times over the course of a couple of weeks. I thought I could live with it, but the problem is if you get the "blast" in a quiet environment, such as a cubicle environment in an office. The "blast" is brief, thankfully, but very loud. It is weird though because some never seem to get it while others get it more frequently than some who do get it.
