I spoke w/ Verizon Blackberry support and they are aware of the file issue and said they are working w/ Blackberry to correct the problem, but of course did not have a time frame as to when it would be fixed.

Can someone who d/led a non corrupt file from Verizon PLEASE post a link for us getting the setup initialization error. This is frustrating, I d/led 12 times same result.

I'm running Vista Ultimate (32-bit) and this file installed successfully and updated my VZW 8830:

8830EFS_PBr4.2.2_rel271_PL3.0.0.67_A4.2.2.148.exe

Enjoy!

Thanks!

My first try to download this afternoon went fine. Update of the software took 37 minutes and all is well.

Thank you very much for posting this. Not sure what the difference is with your version, but it works for me!

What number did you call?

[arazu]

Wow. Just wow. I'm on Sprint and thought it would be a good idea to install this. After reading this thread I don't think I am going anywhere this "upgrade".

[brc]

Did VZ exclude the media manager in the Desktop app.?

[TBOLTRAM]

The ringer volume in the holster is louder after the upgrade. I had modified the settings previously and had "hearable" ringer volume.

My experience and your mileage may vary.

I upgraded my OS, called the global number to get the unlock code and was told no. They said I had to pay full retail price. Anyone else have luck getting the code w/o paying full retail?

I forgot to mention, I paid full retail...But I sold my 700p to blackberry tradeups and used the Verizon $100 mail in rebate.

Total cost to me for teh unlocked 8830? ~150.00. w00t!

i am new to the board and i wanted to say what a great help all of the ppl are inside here.

i just dl'd the software to update the bb8830 and i had no problems and i am about as inexperienced as one can be. i had no issues with bb8830 even afterwards.

i am planning to call verizon and have them unlock the gsm bc i had no idea that it was even locked in the first place.

also, anyone have anymore updates on the GPS feature???

thanks all!

So last night I was finally able to get the new OS to work. I didn't change anything from what I had done from any of my other attempts... wonder what was up with that. So far, the ringer is worse... and I haven't noticed anything else that is really different. I'm bummed.

I don't know if it's me but my bluetooth headset seems to work better it seems to be louder. I use the Moto H700 because it's easy to turn on and off always getting in and out of my car.
