No WiFi Curve for this codemonkey -- I have plain ol' vanilla 8300, unlocked, running on TMo.
Ah well. I imagine 4.3 will be out from several carriers soon...

AFAIK, there is no newer OS than that. TMo won't be releasing one, because they didn't/don't have the 8300.

That's been my fear. I should be glad that they're at least providing the service books I need. I'll have to wait for other carriers who DO sell the 8300 in order to get the latest OS when 4.3 comes out.
Interesting internal debate going on related to this:
- One thought is that, by getting 8320, I'll always get the latest version that TMo publishes -- even if it's not yet available in an 8300 version
- Other thought, though, is that relatively few carriers will have 8320 compared to 8300. As a result, combined with T-Mobile's tendency to go slow with new firmware releases (historically), I wonder if 8300 releases will, generally speaking, be more recent than 8320 releases (i.e., be at later version numbers)

Hey all, after I installed the OS and plugged in my 8320 I was greeted with the below:
What do y'all think, accept and let if fly? Or maybe... cancel, full backup, unplug/replug and then let if fly?

Here are the edited .alx files for themes and BBMaps ( for later AT&T devices)
Additionally, there are .alx's (& .cod's) for all the new IM apps. They were each vendor coded to TMo (vendor id 100) in the .alx files. I removed the vendor ID's for later use on other carrier 8320's when they come out.
*It might be possible to extract the .cod's for the IM apps and load them onto the other Curves, however, I don't have one to try it on.

I downloaded, installed and created the .alx's already. Must be something on your end.

I also get the 10MB file, as well. Strange. I tried clearing my Browser cache and still no luck. Just glad I don't actually have the device or need the OS yet. I am sure it will get resolved soon.

The look the same as the other 8300 themes. But I don't have a device to load them too.

If you get this dialog, choose Cancel. Start the Application Loader and in the dialog for selections, de-select the leftover UK English display support and the Spanish Input Methods; the apploader will then erase the leftover COD files off your device and reboot it. Quit all of the Desktop Manager, unplug your device and plug it back in - now when you start Desktop Manager you will no longer get this dialog.
I now have ~2meg more free on my phone, and (finally!) ALT+ENTER will lock my keyboard instead of bringing up the stupid Input Switcher popup.
EDIT: for the record I have 17meg free now with all my regular 3rd party apps installed: jivetalk, mail by google, google mail, google maps, freerange, logicmail, midpssh, syncje, autolock
