It's the same as US Cellular so I don't know if you want to post a sticky.

Thanks for finding/posting...

Figures that Verizon would be the only carrier to release an update that isn't an update.

good find.

[zerog46]

Just did the update, no difference at all from the US Cellular one... Oh well..

[Dawg]

yeah I did it. I hope it doesn't cause me the same issues the last one I did. Not being able to edit my profiles sucks

[zerog46]

I have not had any issues, I have had it on for about 2 hours.

Can Verizon have slower server? I updated to their OS but like others said nothing new that I can tell. It seems fine and I have no issues with it but I am wondering what took them so long? I have had the update for weeks now granted it was not from Verizon. It works and all I care about.

its not just verizon lots of carriers are slow getting out updates. Nextel was always the worst.

will i have to reinstall my 3rd party apps like jivetalk, viigo etc after installing this update?

[Dawg]

no as long as you do the backup

[jadam]

Is it worth updating to the new os if you have the 4.3.0.97 aready in?

[zerog46]

No there is no change.

installed the newly posted verizon .97 over my .60 and the frames per second on video recording dropped to an avergage of 8 (had been 14 on older .60 version) i am going back to .60 now to get the higher video quality on my recordings. too bad rim was unable to keep it the same or better when upgrading software versions.
