What do you mean? There is no "lock" on Verizon's release. You can install it on any 8130 using the instructions found in these forums. There is a newer version--I think it's an Alltel release.

And...it's called the BB Operating System (OS), not firmware.

thanks again...for the update i have been waiting for the "offical" realease for VZW!

anyone download this? anything special with it?

[Redflea]

It's just a previous release of the OS, which VZW finally got around to posting for their customers. Since you have .89 installed, you can ignore it.
