What is your current File Total - are you sure you gained &mb. My File Total went from 99 to 93. This seemed to account for most of the change.

It seems a little faster, especially the browser. There is a definite app memory increase of about 7 mb. The 2G/3G switch now works. I loaded the VVM this time and it does show the voice mail icon. I wonder when ATT will actually give us VVM? I don't know yet about battery life improvements with this version.

I've said this before, but this time I think I mean it. No reason to upgrade any more 4.6.0.xxx OSes, and just wait for a stable 5.0 OS.

I can't get my file total, or at least I don't know how, since alt-shift-H gives me an engineering screen (I debranded my BB).

I installed this. Works great, solid build, but too early to say anything about battery and network issues. One thing though, when you install this and immediately go and check your apps to see if they work, blackberry app world may not work. If would probably say: Upgrade your service to a plan that includes browsing and discover a world of possibilities at Blackberry App World. Contact your service provider for more details. First I tired a battery pull, didn't help, then I uninstalled and reinstalled, and that didn't work. I was away from my phone for like 5 or 10 minutes and then all of sudden it worked. I don't know if this a AT&T issue or something blackberry, but waiting just worked. Also, there is a new version of blackberry app world, 1.0.30. Don't know if that has to do anything with it either.

I upgraded last friday night from .266 no problems with this newer build. I think it is slower with reading multimedia files but not horrible. All my apps seem to be the same as .266 maybe a slightly quicker to respond. So far the biggest difference to me is the 3G/2G option and the battery "appears" to last longer.

No worries so far with my Bold!

very common to real multimedia slower right after an upgrade.

I just upgraded 30 minutes ago. Wi-Fi seems to connect faster. All appears to be working well. Did anyone notice that Blackberry Browser is no longer a selection in the Browser options? I see Hot Spot, Media Net and Corporate Browser. I now see a browser Identification field where Blackberry, Firefox, and Internet Explorer are available.

Other than that, I have seen no issues.

But im on fido. Maybe u should be too with that -110 crap...

I get those too sometimes. -110 to -120. The signal constantly fluctuates here. There is a tower right up the road. me thinks some cell tech doesn't know wtf he's doing. some days its good. some days its horrible

BB Browser will come back after Enterprise Activation.

memory seems better on this build and reboots are taking a lot less time. i like.

[Snoopy92]

So after 24 hours of testing :
-unable to place a voice call, had to soft reboot
-3 network path not found
-4 failed calls
-2 calls dropped in the middle of conversation
-3G less stable than 266 (goes back to EDGE than back to 3G when signal is poor)
-3G speed better than 266 (everything downloads faster, emails, bb messenger, browser)
-battery life : 50% after 22 hours => this is worse than 266 (3 phone calls, 20mns wifi, emails, BB messenger, facebook and Google maps (5mns))

For me eventhough it is faster than 266 it seems less stable on the radio part. I give it a shot for a few more days.

EDIT : forgot to say I see no memory leak for now. Stable at 48Mb ...

When i Activate it take 15 minutes ...

haven't had a great result with this OS. Since loading it my battery drains away withing a couple of hours! No matter how many battery pulls I do the drain keeps ocurring so I am now going back to the last OS. Also, once I installed this OS all my icons were in different places which has bever happened to me before when installing a new one. Maybe this is unique to me though!

Will this change my PIN or is that assigned specifically to the phone?

PINs are (more or less) fixed to the unit, laid down at the factory, and not able to be changed. Your carrier may grumble if you call support because of a problem, even one wholly unrelated, but that's usually the biggest issue anyone ever sees.

[JSanders]

It will not change your PIN. The PIN is hard coded to the device and can not be changed.

I have a visual voice mail icon running. When I click on it there is a message telling me to contact my provider. Does this work for anyone?

[jacobsaa]

After 10 minutes of use:

• Phone, Email, SMS all work normally.
• GAINED AN ASTOUNDING 20MB OF APPLICATION MEMORY
• Browser appears to be as fast or faster than before. It's not negatively impacted.
• "2G Only" Option is available
• Load time still slow
• "Visual voicemail" icon is on the "Running apps" list. - Can I delete/remove this?

Appears to be a memory leak just like in the original version. ( this is my first upgrade because I just got my phone last wednesday.)

[MidnightDraven]

Way to remove VVM is to delete the VVM .cod files in the OS folder on the pc, then run with Desktop manager again and I believe it doesn't install.
Whether this will then remove from an already installed bold, not sure.

[jacobsaa]

Where is the OS Folder?
