I don't think OS 4.5 for the CDMA devices is that close-by, more like late summer/fall. But this is not the thread for that discussion.

I feel like it is the week before Christmas!

JSanders 06-27-2008 09:44 AM

Occurring this weekend.

Dawg 06-27-2008 09:48 AM

Its like Christmas Eve

JSanders 06-27-2008 09:49 AM

Eve of the eve... the actual implementation should be on Sunday AM!

Dawg 06-27-2008 09:51 AM

Oh I guess I should put the milk and cookies up then.

codeworks 06-27-2008 11:01 AM

I hope this is not a dumb question, but will we need to install the latest 4.5 on our devices? Or is the BIS upgrade at on RIMs software all we need in order to accomplish HTML email?

Thanks!
