I spoke with two differnet Blackberry service reps at TMO. They both said that OS 4.2 will be release soon for TMO users.

They said the OS is waiting for the release of an upgraded version for the 8700g they called the 8705.

They said this upgrade should be before November for Christmas sales.

How did you accomplish this?

Does anyone know if 4.2 will have voicedialing? That's the only feature I miss since switching to a Blackberry.

Get a pearl, or the 8800 when it comes out..

[sseligson]

is 4.2 going to be a free upgrade???
If it is and I do the upgrade will I automatically have a myfavs phone?

[NJBlackBerry]

All handheld upgrades are free.

Not sure if it will automatically be a 'my favs' phone. Could someone enlighten me as to why this my favs thing is such a big deal? Isn't it basically speed dial?

myFaves is a service that allows you to make unlimited calls to any five domestic numbers. It's like My Circle from Alltel except half the size.

[paulbblc]

ah, got ya. The commercials annoy me so I mute them when they come on. Thanks for the info.

It's a big deal because you get unlimited anytime minutes to the numbers in your Favs regardless of if those numbers are to other T-Mobile customers or not.

Its like having free nights and weekends all the time, but just to the numbers in your My Favs list.

This seems to have gotten off the beatern path...any udpdate to 4.2 being available?

[noeffectx]

nope, not yet.

[mike_187]

from what we've seen 8705 does not feature 4.2 therefore its going to be a bit of a longer wait.

None of the 4.2 code I've seen on the 8700 has voice dialing.

That makes me sad. My wife has a Pearl and her voice dialing really impresses me. I would pay some $$ for software that would do that on my 8700g.

[grape8pe]

Has there been any recent new in regards to OS 4.2 on the 8700 series? I searched some of the headlines and wasn't able to find anything.

[NJBlackBerry]

Not a word...
