If there is an option for "Email Settings" then it's probably installed for BES/Redirector support. At the bottom you should see "Connected" (meaning the BB is connected) and "Online" (meaning the DM has an "online" connection with the mail server.

I've been playing for a half hour, and I see no differences from the last version in terms of speed or stability.

That's pretty much what I do, except in the manual fashion

When I have some down time, I go to BlackBerry FAQ - BlackBerryFAQ, click on the Operating Systems link and then just search the carriers looking for a new OS. Pretty boring; however, exciting when you find a new one.

Start Application Loader and it should find the newer OS.

I have started Application loader and I get nothing.

It worked to downgrade from 4.5 to 4.2, but it never finds anything to go back up to 4.5 any version.

and thanks for the help.......

Yes. First I did a repair and that did nothing. So I did a complete uninstall reboot and new install.

Did not help. It's pissing me off. I was able to upgrade from 4.2 to 4.5.44 last week.

I was able to downgrade to 4.2 today, but unable to upgrade back to .44 or any higher.

thanks for the help...

In Desktop Manager go to Help >About >Device Software Tab. Does it list the 4.5 OS for the 8310?

Default sorry newbie here

I just bought my curve 8310 monday last week and have been dying to try the 4.5 upgrade for the video camera and the documents to go, but I am worried about bricking my phone or not being able to down grade if necessary. Am I just being too conservative and is this a decent build to attempt the maiden upgrade with. Also I am on ATT and am a little fuzzy on how the blackberry's work. They can't be locked like a regular phone can they i.e. this upgrade would lose the ATT software but the standard phone functionality would still work correct?

uninstal 4.2 from your pc and try again. Im not sure if this would be safe if something is wrong, but it would be great for troubleshooting your problem. From what I can tell, DM compares the files on your handset to the ones in the java folder. If I am correct in this assumption we would be able to figure out if the problem is you or the software

I've tried that... I get no response about new software from DM 4.5. So I thought since i was able to install .44 last week maybe it would work, but no go....

I did this after the downgrade from .44 and now I can't get DM 4.5 to upgrade the phone any version of 4.5

D'oh... you were posting helpful info while I was typing that.

What I suggested definately wouldnt help if the DM says 4.5 and the handset is 4.2... I think you should try to reinstal the DM and see if it finds the correct version.
