This one have been very stable.. but I haven't really seen anything different from the Chinese Version. I'll keep ya'll posted if I find something interesting.

Don't know about you guys but; the new OS gave me errors whenever I rebooted. PocketDay, beyond 411, and other apps. had problems also. Went back to the Chinese version for now....Later..

I love the optus software but the ringtones are very weak. This is the only gripe I have about these builds. Does this build fix this problem?

[gump]

without Chinese?My God

[islanq]

Is this ONLY for the 8700G or will it work with my 8700C?

EDIT: Whatever, I'm going for it. If it messes up you guys better help me backtrack though! I'll let u know my results for the 8700C.

[islanq]

Upgrade went well. Couldn't use some of my older themes... Hrmmm.

Edit: Seem to be experiencing sub par email delivery times.... Thinking about downgrading.

I'll try and give the feedback!!



To install this update:
1. Download and install the latest version of Desktop Manager
2. Donwload this OS and install it to the PC.
3. Delete the vendor.xml file located in c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader (this step is necessary any time an OS is installed from a different carrier than what is branded on the BB.)
4. Plug in BB and open Desktop Manager. You should be prompted to upgrade.

For T-Mobile BB users....
By the way, T-Mobile may release BIS 2.3 (would be applied to OS 4.2)? Here is a link:

Old 4.1 themes won't work other than some theme builder ones.

Email delivery isn't related to handheld software

Can you create SMS groups in this version?

[thenewnoise]

So you can make SMS groups but you cant add them to a filter. Thats pretty lame
