I agree with you as well but did not understand the issue or distinction until now. I will definitely rethink my carrier choice when I have the ability to abandon ship. VZW offers a great deal for spouse and I on phone service. So it does have its pros and cons.

So sweet. I was afraid the 8330 might not get love any time soon.

Yep, beta is out, should be too long. I'm running it on my 8330 now and it seems pretty stable. No major issues.

Any trouble sending/replying to SMS messages?
Is your device on a BES?

Penguin I am not having issues with SMS, is that a known issue?

[Sith_Apprentice]

Main issue I have heard would be that you are unable to select multiple messages for deletion. The delete all prior works but not the shift/scroll or alt/scroll

[penguin3107]

Selecting multiple messages is definitely bugged as Sith mentions.
I've installed 4.5.0.33 on an 8330 and an 8830. Both Verizon, and both on BES (two different BES in fact).
Neither is able to send SMS messages.
It's not IT Policy related, since the same problem exists when the same devices are NOT on BES.

Could have been a carrier problem when I tested them. I just haven't had a chance to try again.

[Dawg]

yes very strange I have been sending texts just fine. I have noticed that BBM tells you when you dont have coverage now. IT says it will send when data is restored.

[NickfromIL]

I have had no issues with sending SMS either.

[Dawg]

Nick have you had media player issues it wont play all my songs that would play previous

[NickfromIL]

I have had no such experience. Haven;t tried to play 100% of the songs on media card, but haven't found any it wouldn't play yet.

[Dawg]

yeah I had it plugged into the car the other day and about every third song it says the media has an error.

[Sith_Apprentice]

As a good practice, equate this release to .10 or .18 for the GSM versions.

[NickfromIL]

I have no problems doing this on my Sprint 8330 or are you referring to the new beta os?


Sorry, I misread your post...I thought you were referring to the current os.

[Joe1004]

If I had to guess, the 4.5 OS will be released by VZW about the time they launch the next new device. If I remember correctly, the only time I remember an OS upgrade being launched on its own was about 2 months after the 8130 was launched. I could be wrong.

My VZW Business rep confirmed "Thunder" for "Q4". I suspect that means "In time for Christmas"?

I hope it is before that for a 4.5 release... I would love to get a beta on my Curve.

GPS still doesn't work as good as it did on my 8830. I have to start BBMaps and select find my location before Google Maps will get closer than 1700m. BBMaps seems to find a satellite faster than before but it might just be my imagination.

They should release 4.5 LONG before Christmas. Again read *should*
