- I'm kind of tired seeing people pipe up with the 9650 End Of Life coming up next month. The list that the info comes from leaked back in last August. The 9650 was among a few listed with an EOL of 3/31/2011, which was the last EOL date listed.
Personally I believe that date was estimated, depending on a replacement device was released. Verizon knew the Bold Touch was coming this year sometime, so the Bold makes it onto the EOL list, with a date far into the future (at the time) so it could be adjusted as need be when accurate Bold Touch release dates become available.
Yet some are still taking this months old screen grab as current and factual. We have about 6 weeks left. We should plan some kind of celebration, like a wake or something. Maybe an Essex Post-Life Ramblings thread. We can't all get together, but we could all get drunk together.02-18-11 03:07 AMLike 0 - I'm kind of tired seeing people pipe up with the 9650 End Of Life coming up next month.

Underway, I saw you checking out Shane's new hybrid. You thinking of going for it? It looks like an interesting combo. I may try it later this afternoon. I like the 466 idea with the other , better radio files. Be good to see some feedback on it, but I'm not always the one to wait for feedback before jumping in.02-18-11 09:55 AMLike 0 - ^True statement

I downloaded the 436 hybrid last night. I've not yet decided if I'll install it. I hear that the multiple SMS bug has been fixed. It was apparently in the 376 radio. No surprise there. I'm also hoping to see feedback before I plunge.
EDIT: I also loaded the 466 radio into a 431 Java. All I got was a bricked phone.Last edited by Underway99; 02-18-11 at 10:46 AM.

I concur. So let's start the fun
no never run out - now that we've started drinking all day02-18-11 10:26 AMLike 0 - Yeah, I kind of hybridized his 431(448-450)w/6.1 hybrid (with his help). This thing was almost like some Rube Goldberg setup by the time I was done. I installed 431, then dropped the 448-450 Java that Shane sent me, and finally installed the 6.1 files that he posted for the 466 hybrid. It worked, but not well enough to keep it. I also tried the 431 radio with the 466 Java. No go. Lastly, I put the 466 browser on my 431. That didn't work either. It looks like he made it all work with the new 436 hybrid, even though it still has the 431 radio. That's three 9650 OS versions with the same radio file (398, 431, 436). RIM must realize just how stable that one is. I can't see that 376 radio going anywhere.

Time for another call to VZW? What OS would they tell me to have on there? I have straight 431. Think they'll make me reinstall something?02-18-11 10:44 AMLike 0 -
I may be in the market for a different radio file than the one with 431. Which hybrid would you guys suggest? I don't really want to do it but I heard chirps again last night on my phone. GRRRRRRRRRRRR

Yes, Big Red is going to want you to have their latest released OS.Last edited by Underway99; 02-18-11 at 05:01 PM. Reason: tech edit -- the 315 radio IS NOT in 466
02-18-11 10:50 AMLike 0 - I thought the 398 had the best radio or scuttlebut said anyway. If I try this new hybrid out guess I'll leave out the 6.1 files as well since they seem meh and possible battery issues. I like the idea of having the good radio files no matter what as that seems to be the heart of the operations.
JayDee you should be good on the 398/431/448/450 which is what I'm using and think it's really fine. or better yet jump on his new one and give all the ramblers a performance review.
