Try upgrading to .97. Most of the lag issues of .77 were fixed in this version. I can't post any links to the actual download on this forum, but if you go the the "Beta You than Me" area from the main page, you can see how to find it on your own. Personally, I think that .97 was a good improvement to .77.

When is Telus coming out with an official version?

Any chance you could tell us your PERSONAL experience on the new .97 compared to .77?

Is there a link direct to download this through Sprint?

[Motorcycle Mama]

No. Sprint has not yet released a version of the 4.5 OS.

[entropism]

Blackberry just released a generic version of 4.5 that updates Sprint versions, just so you know. If destop manager doesn't update you automatically, try going here in IE:

BlackBerry - Update your Device Software

[thenags]

Ah.. Thanks

Is there any benefit of running the generic one?

This site tells me there's no new updates, but when I check the firmware, I'm running 4.3

Then the installation freezes up, solid Red LED on my BB and after a few minutes the DM brings up a message that says "A fatal error has occured while updating your device's software. Please try again."

I've restarted my PC and my BB, uninstalled and reinstalled 4.5 on my PC. I've done this about 5 times and I gots nothin.

Any advice? I currently run v. 4.3.0.124 on my BB from Alltel.
Thanks in advance for any help!

anyone? Bueller?

Have you tried different usb ports? Make sure you're not connecting to a hub of any kind. A USB port directly connected to the computer's motherboard is best.

[serpico007]

After reading other users missing applications or not having texts coming in, I'll wait for an official Telus release. Any news on that?

[John Clark]

An "official Telus release" will be no different than the OS posted here. You're waiting for no reason.

No news on an "official Telus release"

Hi everyone
New to BBF, have been using my pink BB 8330 Curve for about 3 months now and LOVE it.

Quick question, and it may have even already been asked - but was wondering if I click on either of those OS updates, does it matter who my carrier is? And I just follow the instructions below the two links? I am with Telus and not sure if it matters which link I use... any help would be great! Thanks for helping a BB noob out

[John Clark]

As the first post says, it will work on ANY carrier's 8330. Just follow the instructions in the first post and you will be fine.

hello everyone,
hope this is the right spot. new to bb and this forum. have a 8330 that i just updated 4.3 to 4.5. have issues moving pictures in media and being slow updating screen. am thinking about going back to 4.3. need procedure for this. any help appreciated.

11/30/08 got it back to 4.3 by using procedure in blackberryFAQ. had to download from sprint site. verizon doesn't have it. now i don't have contact list entries but handheld says there are 80. did a battery pull reset and no change. browser was missing also.

11/30/08 downloaded latest 4.5 from verizon and installed. everything looks o.k. will live with this until an update fixes some issues.

[jgold47]

installed, no problems, but missing some plazmic themes that were previously installed. I do a lot of editing of my installs, but I dont think I deleted anything related to this. Any thoughts?

[obeythelaw]

i would say that the .97 version does fix some lag issues that were in the .77 version. i've noticed that my memory is better now and doesn't go down as quickly quickly as with .77.

[obeythelaw]

anyone else notice that with .97, the signal is better? at my house, i used to fluctuate from 1X to 1XEV. and i get full bars where i used to get maybe 3. could this unofficial version have changed the wireless output settings?

[switch_berry]

I am having an issue that I can't seem to find any answers for. I have downloaded the update via Verizon's site, but I am unable to successfully install it on my PC. When the installation process gets to the "terms and conditions" part I get an error stating that another installation is in process. I've tried repairing and removing DM v4.3 but I get that same error every time. Any ideas? Thanks..

try up grading the DM to 4.7 I think you need DM 4.5 or higher to upgrade to 4.5os
