Use the edited Blackberry.alx found here. Or you can edit yourself. See Main Page - BlackBerryFAQ |

I realize the download speeds from RIM are quite slow. However, RIM doesn't allow outside hosting of the OS files without permission, so we can't allow it to be uploaded here at BBF. I've removed the torrent attachment.
Thanks for your understanding.

Why torrent / seed an ISO that changes frequently??? I realize some do not have the RIM CD but it is just as easily downloaded from RIM...
My experience with Torrents has been, while they are rock solid data wise, they are generally slower than http or ftp downloads.. Torrent speed is based on the number of seeds -v- the number of downloads....

I don't know if it's just my BlackBerry that's doing this or not but since I performed the OS update I have noticed that when I press the sym key when typing in email there is a lag now before the symbols display where as before there was no lag. Overall I haven't noticed any major differences between this OS and the Optus 4.2.2.222 OS.

EDIT: I was having trouble getting the new OS installed but was able to solve the problem by installing the DM again with the new patch. Thank you.

T-Mo user here: I am using (the Chinese) version 4.2.2.114 and I am getting the "service book," and running Opera browser just fine. I have to assume that upgrading won't change that. I also assume that I am not the only one who is getting the "service book" right?...

Yes, yes, but are you getting the service books for the t-zones browser and the BlackBerry Internet Browsing Service?

Nope. But I can surf the Net fine with the Opera. I am also getting my entire email accounts and my Fav-5. What am I really missing? The only thing I can't do is OTA installations but I can live with that...

True indeed, but for a user that requires OTA downloads, this is inconvenient. =\
