After running on OS 8310 4.5.0.69 for a couple a weeks i tought downgrading to an "official stable release" would be a good idea. But i've been teached something something else.
I've first tried the Wind Italy release, then the Vodafone Germany release and had the identical problems. There seems to be an issue with the GPS library. Nav4All leaded me around the block and the new Google Mobile App did not even install at all. I received the error "Google Mobile App is not running on this Blackberry Curve 8310".
Funny eh? So i presume the time between the delivery from RIM to the partners is too short to test the software, it's rather a race to implement proprietary configuration in the generic package and "throw" it back on the market, possibly faster than the competition.
If that's really the case, then one should give a reason not to stick with "beta" versions, that apparently seem better tested, before they get screwed up by the vendor.
Correct me if i'm wrong.
