Which OS On BB Curve 8310, 4.5.44 Or 4.5.55?

I read both threads....all good things were said about 44 and few people complained about 55........I read good things about both...

This is my first time upgrading my curve....I know how to but I would like to know which OS do you guys recommend?

Thanks a bunch...

I have Espn installed and thats it.....

Few themes.

So, should I delete everything and reload them after?

Any tips things that I should watch out or pay a special attention to?

I was reading that some people are talking about memory leak, others talking about volume, rebooting issues, BB maps, BATT life and etc....

What is the cleanest best way to install it.....

I experienced the upgrade on my pearl 8100. So, the steps are no problem to me....

Thanks

Any truth to above problems?

Reading in the forums I have not seen if the HTML bugs have been fixed with the .69
What about problems with maps?

I just upgraded my 8310 from 4.2.0.x to 4.5.0.55 and I'm quite happy with it.

Being with Rogers (Canada) and not seeing any attempts at releasing past 4.2, I searched for a MultiLang 4.5 to use on my 8310.

So far, i've seen immediate benefits:

v4.5.0.55 (Platform 2.7.0.68)

• HTML email support
• MVS (Mobile Voice System) support
• Cleaner look to Address Book
• Cleaner look to viewing email, nicely separated headers.
• Video Camera is really a great add-on. Small sound-sync issue.

I had Facebook Mobile installed before the upgrade, and I no longer have the icon for it. Its still in my service books, I will attempt a service book deletion and reinstall to see if it comes back.

Also, BlackBerry Maps works the same as with 4.2, I installed Google Maps (and the Google Mobile Updater) and it fails to load. Picasa, Documents, Sync, GTalk, etc all work well.

I'm very happy with the upgrade, and being a BES admin, I can test out policies, software pushes, etc. We have a few new 9000s coming in soon, and I'll be comparing them to my current 8310 4.5 OS.

Is there anything else (BETA) that is newer than the .55 rev I have? I'm not asking for links here.

Cheers.

Depending on your 3rd party apps, you mileage will vary using the .69.
Read the threads and investigate. Some of us were having issues with just a simple backup using the .69. Read the forum. .55 is stable and everything works with the exception to the lower volumne on .55.

You can try .69 and see if everything works for you. For me actually everything did except I could not do a full backup. I could do a partial backup. I moved back to .55 as I like to be able to complete a full backup. I did not have any issue with regular phone use, battery or GPS.

how about volume issues?

thanks for ur input.....appreciate it...

[emibaby]

You know, now that I think about it, after my .55 install my volume went down too. I wonder why that is? I thought it was the earache I had! LOL

I would recommend .55 until .69 has completed beta testing and tweaking. I am currently running .55 and have been quite satisfied with it with no major issues. New releases are ..... Well released as they generally contain some bug fixes to the previous version(s). I'd install .55 and the wait to see what people have to say about .69 after its been officially released. Installing a beta version is never highly recommended.

well, thanks for ur comments...

does .55 have volume issues? and is batt life shorter?

[JaguarXJ7]

Not that I have noticed. Battery life seems pretty good and I would consider my usage to be slightly above average. I have a hearing problem and have not had any issues with the volume.

[harddude5]

.69 is great. Of course you will have to find it.

[Johnny909]

Been running .55 since Labor Day, and all is well. There seems to be a slight delay when switching applications, but other than that it is very stable and seems to have brightened the display a bit.
Good luck
