I was just a little surprised anyone would pay $10 or so for 2GB card to use in 4.5 now when $30 or so can fund an 8GB card. But I realize everyone has a budget.

Actually, it's not so much about budget as it is need. I use my BB for business purposes and video storage is of no concern for me. I wanted the card more for music storage than anything else as I like to be able to have music no matter where I am or what I'm doing.

I have already downloaded over a dozen albums each with an average 60-70mins of music each onto my BB and the card still shows 1.2GB of 1.8GB still available. Plenty for me!

T-Mobile user on a BES. I've tried several versions of this BETA and suffered through the problems. Its good that I have a good relationship with my BES Admin, since I've downgraded/upgraded several times over the last several months. Anyway...

I downloaded and installed this 'official' version and everything looked like it worked great. I had no problems until one day during a long call the phone rebooted. I have VERY little in the way of 3rd party apps installed, and I reformated my 2 gb media card. It happened again the other day during a long phone call. SO.... I removed the media card and tried again. Well it happened again (twice), during a long call (>5 minutes for me).

There is nothing else I am willing to try with this version. I'll wait for a more stable version.

Obviously your experience has been bad but when 99% of the people posting here are having good results, it makes me think it's not the stability of this release that is to blame.

is this safe. like i just got my BB yesterday and dont want to mess it up.
does this update include camera?

[rachamphetamine]

Tons of users have updated to it with little or no problems.

If it does get messed up somehow, there are ways to fix it, so don't fret.

What do you mean by it including "camera"?

I'm a TMobile user on a BES and I've not had any problems.

Same here. I gave 2 different point updates of 4.5 a go and have been just fine. I usually do a backup first, then uncheck the backup/restore options during upgrade. I find this makes it much faster, both times taking approx 30 minutes.

After the upgrade I then only restore non config data. I have not had any problems with reboots, sim or sd card issues.

I've got an 8320 with Tmo on BIS. This OS seemed to work well at first, but I've noticed a sharp uptick in weird behavior:

-The Berry crashes a lot now, with "App Error 504" displayed
-The Berry drops calls left and right, saying "Call failed"
-My data coverage indicator usually stays in lowercase ("edge" vs "EDGE") even though I am receiving emails and can browse the web. Usually when I browse the web it goes back to "EDGE" but then switches back to lowercase soon after I stop
-Perhaps most seriously, my phone doesn't ring when people call me. I'd say this happens 30% of the time. No missed call, no voicemail notification. I get a vm notification when I make a call. Also, I frequently get the regular VM icon AND a blank SMS message that says "Voice mail"

Anyone else having this?

Hi. Tmo curve user here. I downloaded it, and started it, then I got a JVM Error 513 on the screen. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have tried a few battery pulls, nothing helps. PLEASE HELP ME! I am worried I have bricked my new BB.

[John Clark]

Most likely a 3rd party app caused a problem with the new OS.

T-Mobile BIS user. Upgraded last week.

Everything was fine for 24 hours--love new browser, video is fun, HTML email is exciting, tweaked menu is nice. But then the phone started resetting itself during some calls--black screen, redlight, angry wife/friend/co-worker. Then it started happening on *most* calls, then finally pretty much every single call.

Spent more time on UMA then Edge or Wi-Fi.

Gmail client would hang on "Are you sure you want to cancel sending this message" error box, necessitating battery pull.

HTML email was wonky--some emails looked great, others were all out of sorts with image alignment.

Uninstalled Beta-version of Viigo, Gmail client, and every other 3rd party app or theme I had, still had issues. Cleared 2GB card, still issues. Reverted back to latest T-Mobile USA software 3 days ago, reinstalled Viigo and Gmail, no issues since.

Not happy about this either. I wants me 4.5 OS. Like whoa.

[harddude5]

I loaded the 4.5 software on my work PC and then loaded it on my Curve last week. I would like to make a few additions -- including the IM apps -- but would like to make any further changes from my home PC. However, when I load 4.5 on my home PC and connect my Curve, the DM says new software has been found and tries to install the entire 4.5 package from scratch even though I already have 4.5 installed. Any ideas how I can get around this issue, or will I be forced to use the version on my work PC to install the IM apps?

[John Clark]

The list of apps with checkboxes should show up and show you what it wants to update. if you click next it should show you just what files it's going to remove/replace. It may just be one file....

[jcragg]

ok. I got mine fixed back to the tmo 4.2. I then removed bb desktop and all bb stuff from my laptop. I then downloaded and installed desktop 4.5, then downloaded and installed os 4.5. When I hook up the bb, nothing tries to upgrade. Now what?

Delete the vendor.xml file again.
