It's from A1.

[JSanders]

Where is A1? The steak sauce country?

Nevertheless, this .44 release is MUCH better, more stable than the .37.

Browser issues with entering text is fixed, is the biggie. I think this release was the one also that got Youtube working on mine.

I downloaded the latest OS...like it very much. My question--I now have more sample ring tones, which show up in media. But when I want to use it as a "custom ring tone" in a contact in the address book, it does not show up. Under Media/ringtones, it shows under "All Ring Tones", but not under "Preloaded Ring Tones.

Thanks in advance for your expert advice.

[mickeykool]

The lastest beta is 4.5.0.52, so this .44 a final release from carriers?

[Sith_Apprentice]

.44 release is the latest release from a carrier yes. .37 was the previous release. Both of these are official, and nothing else that you find on the net is actually supposed to be out there yet (ie, Beta)

Was this download very slow for anyone else? I'm currently only downloading at 55KB/Sec... :(

*Patiently awaits download completion*

[Sith_Apprentice]

All RIM downloads are slow for some reason.

[hmiller2012]

they certainly are im only getting 32kb/s

[mckinneycm]

Mine went pretty quick; however, I was the first to download it. Being that it's coming from A1's server, it's probably overloaded depending on how many people are downloading it right now.

[jvanlew]

ooh ooh 45 seconds! Yay!

[hmiller2012]

after all that wait i get setup initialization error guess i will try redownloading

[GBX]

anyone know what version BES i need to be running in order to view HTML emails?

Also, will my all my settings that are backed up on my BES load via enterprise activation without problems?

[Nukinfuts]

Same error as .37

Multiple computers, latest DM, steps followed EXACTLY. Even used a seperate data cable. Keep getting "Fatal error occured trying to update device" immediatly after it shuts off the radio.

[John Clark]

You need BES 4.1.6 or a "hacked" 4.1.5.
