O2 it's April where is 4.5

[coldconfession13]

Ha ha countdown till O2 releases an update for devices. Lets see what the hype was about on the page since they are the only carrier actually stating a month for an upgrade.

[NCBuckeye]

Next week....lol.

I think someone in that thread mentioned the tiper said around 04-08-08, my finger crossed ;-)

[Edhoru]

Next week....lol.

Can we have another Next Week thread? :razz:

[zkyevolved]

noooooo!!!! I'm tired of reading "next week" it's been sooooooooo many "next weeks" that I can't count anymore :'(

[rafa2044]

Can we have another Next Week thread? :razz:

You outta your mind! ... are we there yet?

[GLOCKshooter]

Two weeks.

[Edhoru]

Two weeks.

Counting from this week or the next, you know is almost friday anyway.


You outta your mind! ... are we there yet?

I can't tell you, they are watching . :razz:

[purephase]

Last official word from RIM was "Spring '08". My last guess was that it would be released roughly around the same time as the 8330. I would expect it either next week or the following. I doubt we'll have to wait until the VZW release.

[novafluxx]

I'm gonna put my chips on... late June!!!! Probably having problems with it and don't wanna release it...

[Sith_Apprentice]

waiting for a VZW release has absolutely NOTHING to do with 4.5. They are two completely unrelated events. And the O2 website just has a note for an upcoming OS release, it has no mention of 4.5. Would be very amusing if this were not the 4.5 release, but another 4.2.2.x release.

[NJBlackBerry]

I heard from the friend of a guy who was hitchhiking in front of Verizon Wireless' world headquarters that there would be no new BlackBerrys until 2011 for Verizon. They are waiting for OS v6.0 to come out.

I know I should have posted this last Tuesday, but this is how silly this thread has become.

[RobM]

Anyones guess is as good as anyone elses guess

[flash24]

Wake me up when the real 4.5 is out.

[davidkoby]

It all sounds like non-sense to me! Microsoft seems to be able to let us know when their new stuff will be out. I don't know why Blackberry can't do the same. I'm about at the point where I'm going to switch to a Windows Mobile phone.

[maxsquared]

I thought the predicted date for O2 to release their bb is 9th (tomorrow).

I think RIM people are extremely lazy, how difficult to put an upgrade of a os right?

[SteveO86]

I found this article on the net..

BlackBerry OS 4.5 Coming In April | RIMarkable (http://www.rimarkable.com/blackberry-os-45-coming-in-april)

Like everything out there you can only take it so seriously, but it does confirm O2 release for 4.5 tomorrow...

It might be a looong day lol.

[penguin3107]

I think RIM people are extremely lazy, how difficult to put an upgrade of a os right?

It saddens me that people really think like this.

[coldconfession13]

It saddens me that people really think like this.

Yea thats pretty stupid to say.

[BBFreak]

Wow. Reading this amazes me so much. I can't wait for the stable "official" release of the software myself but this will not make your Blackberry allow you to time travel, jump higher or run faster. I would rather wait for them to exterminate the bugs instead of releasing early and have everyone complain about how this and that keeps going down or messing up.

i really really hope they do not release it tomorrow. if they do many many many people will downgrade before the week is out.

[shivers316]

You're such a killjoy Sith....lol

[Sith_Apprentice]

I prefer the term Causal Realist :razz:

[baltee]

Hope I'm wrong, but it looks like the O2 page could mean April 2008... The 8th would be nice though.

[jibi]

baltee, I agree with that completely. Given the only two 'dates' on that page is March 08 and April 08, it seems to be a designation of year rather than day.

[dietcoke]

4.5 will be a nice refresh... The html piece missing is a major bummer. I am not sure how blackberry will compete with windows mobile and iphonish things in the future. Rim has dominated in the enterprise world, but they are to slow in implementation and new features.

They move at a snails pace.. I know.. I have dealings with rim devs.

[bobreiter]

I would be shocked if it came out before the end of Q2. Shocked.

[rafa2044]

So it is not happening next week? ;)

[davidkoby]

I'm serious. Windows Mobile. I'm goin....

[NCBuckeye]

I downloaded it last night and like jibi said there are more things to come but it is better but ALOT of people will be complaing about it.

[rafa2044]

I won't complain, I promise! hehehe. In fact, I need the voice recorder for my pathophysiology class! Can you pass it without anyone knowing? hehe

[cmguerra77]

What will they complain about?

[jgallego13]

Here's a question... why isn't O2 appearing under the "Europe" section for blackberry device software downloads??

BlackBerry - BlackBerry Desktop and Device Software Download Sites (http://na.blackberry.com/eng/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp)

[penguin3107]

I'm about at the point where I'm going to switch to a Windows Mobile phone.
I'm serious. Windows Mobile. I'm goin....

Nobody cares what you do.
Take your thread crapping elsewhere.

If you think its any different there your kidding yourself.

[Edhoru]

As BBFreak said

Truth is that i don't know why people, that understand what is a blackberry and what a OS upgrade means, will be complaining about, as far as i can tell (v4.5.0.9 over BIS) the new look of tasks, browser, messages, etc. is really nice, the (i think) new font is really good and full windows video. My only problem so far is that i haven't been able to open an attachmente ussing docs to go, but i'll probably buy the premiun version when is out, so not a big deal.

so, i really don't know why people will complain about. :?

Word docs worked for me as well as viewing presentations but I can see it getting better before it goes live to the public.

[Sith_Apprentice]

documents that you load onto the device can be viewed with Docs2Go, though unless you have the BIS/BES upgrade, you will not be able to save attachments to the media card.

[TBOLTRAM]

This has been going on so long that I am waiting for the second coming of OS 4.5.

[RobM]

We all wait, and wait, and wait, and wait, and wa..................i...........t.......


sorry, fell asleep there for a second

[PPCMD]

It's time to get a plunger up to RIM and get the clogged toilet working again.

[coldconfession13]

So I got my dirty paws on a hold of 4.5 for the 8300 :) I won't share well because its to much work. Find your own way. I'm still trying to get a certified os from work but they haven't received it yet.

[NCBuckeye]

It's not as hard as you think....well for some it might be.

[coldconfession13]

hell yea harder to get for some reason I'm surprised it wasn't as big as the 8310 and 8320 leaks.

[JonNuttNTL]

The O2 page has changed! But bad news before you rush to get a new OS the only change is to some of the dates to April/May 08 from March/April 08.

Jon.

[SteveO86]

Next month it will May/June... Patience is truly a virtue

[bakerfall]

The 8300 series and 8800 series still say April '08.

[SteveO86]

I'm still not going to hold my breath :)

[Sith_Apprentice]

The 8300 series and 8800 series still say April '08.

still hold to my position i posted earlier. it would be a mistake to release the OS now. AND the site doesnt say 4.5, just an OS update.

[cmguerra77]

Sith I missed your earlier post. Why would it be a mistake to release now?

[Sith_Apprentice]

the OS isnt ready. Look at all the numerous bug reports on here, or questions. Its still a beta for a reason. Do NOT post the method to find this for download.

[ianoop]

where is this information at? may i have a link please?

[Sith_Apprentice]

a link to what? the OS? no you may not.

[tel-x.com]

First. I wouldn't download that.
Second. You don't want the BETA version.
Third. Just wait, your going to feel like a jackmalass when you get it only to find out you went threw all that trouble just to have video recording, diffrent looking OEM themes, Small diffrence in overall OS layout and speaker still is as soft as it was with 4.2.

But hey to each their own:?

[cmguerra77]

the OS isnt ready. Look at all the numerous bug reports on here, or questions. Its still a beta for a reason. Do NOT post the method to find this for download.

Thanks Sith.

We're all on edge b/c BB "said" the OS would be out in April. They should have told us it would be out in November of 08 and then surprise us by releasing it earlier.

Then I guess this thread wouldn't be so long...

[JonNuttNTL]

I should have a clear idea as to what is and when it's due tomorrow. Will update when I know anything.

Jon.

[JSanders]

We're all on edge b/c BB "said" the OS would be out in April.

No, the didn't. I have never read anything official from RIM stating April as a release of 4.5. Yes, I could have missed it, but I am pretty certain they haven't.

Now--a lot of know-it-alls have said April, two weeks, soon, really soon. But that is not RIM.

[purephase]

JSanders, RIM actually said Spring 08 in their last newsletter.

[zkyevolved]

Hey one thing I do want to ask everyone with the beta, how's the memory usage? I mean, fresh install with your basic and most used apps, how much memory do you have free? More or less? hehe.

[JSanders]

JSanders, RIM actually said Spring 08 in their last newsletter.

Yea, I missed that. Oh well...

[JonNuttNTL]

Oh just spotted this strapline on the O2 page:

All forecast dates for new software are subject to accreditation by O2 and are provided for guidance only.

Sounds like a getout clause if ever I heard one...

Jon.

[Sith_Apprentice]

or just like any other roadmap, either hardware or software, its subject to change. its a good thing though, if they are pushing it back it usually means they found a bug that needed to be fixed. its better they find it than a user.

[jibi]

i think the issue is that the carriers should have received the OS for certification two months ago and are just now getting it, per JC's post the other day. that will have ultimately delayed the OS release by atleast two months (from an April/May timeframe), if not longer (which may very well be the case, depending on the carrier). at best, i think we may see something from Asia over the next couple weeks, if history holds true.

[strike2tamu]

I'm excited.

[chirayu]

I'm excited.

+1 cannot wait!

[JonNuttNTL]

I'm told by a reliable source that the release is pushed back to mid-May/June at the earliest.

Jon.

[bakerfall]

I'm told by a reliable source that the release is pushed back to mid-May/June at the earliest.

Jon.

For O2 I assume?

[ianoop]

is there any chance that 4.5 and windows or leopard (hoping leopard) will allow me to do things like talk through or dial through it? even a free third party app would do.

[Sith_Apprentice]

Main Page - BlackBerryFAQ (http://www.blackberryfaq.com) there are instructions there for windows to use your device as a modem if that is what you are asking.

[JonNuttNTL]

For O2 I assume?

No, for all :cry:

Jon.

[Sith_Apprentice]

it really doesnt matter who releases it...

[bakerfall]

it really doesnt matter who releases it...

No, but it matters if no one releases it until June.

[penguin3107]

No, but it matters if no one releases it until June.

Actually, that doesn't really matter either.

[strike2tamu]

Actually, that doesn't really matter either.
Exactly, as long as its in good working order, thats all that really matters.

[cmguerra77]

I know they won't, but I just wish RIM would come out and tell us. Is it April or May/June or July. I know they want to put it out soon, and I know that they won't put it out unless all the bugs are fixed. From the sounds of those who have the Beta version, the biggest issues is a memory leak which would be a major flaw. But you've got to know if it is close to being released or not.

[Tank2379]

since NO carrier in the world has certified this OS, what you have is still not a final version (provided it is "certified by RIM" not quite sure what that means). Things can still very much change from what you have to the final release.

Lol. Seriously :P if you don't like BlackBerry's then go! An simple user update SHOULDN'T make you stay or leave to another phone, I mean, if something wasn't working correctly I'd understand that, but all the other os's are working "fine," and that there's no real reason to be upset. We'd all love to have the new os, and we're all waiting for it, but if an UPDATE to allow voice recording (because I assume you knew you couldn't do that before with ur current BlackBerry model) to make you leave, well then just leave :P rim'll get this out when they can. My phone still goes on the internet, and I still can use jivetalk, and email, so, yes, I'd like the update, and I can't wait but I'm not dying! Or leaving (yet, if I do leave it won't be because of a darn update hehe)

From all your posts:

100% of your posts are anti-BlackBerry.

As I said earlier... we don't care what you do or what device you carry.
You're not special. You're not important. You're not making any impact on the world. You're a nothing. Begone already.

[voyager9355]

I felt a small glimmer of hope last night as I was reading the latest issue of PC Mag...an article about handheld OSes included the sentence "as we went to press, RIM released BlackBerry OS 4.5.....", and included a link to download.

Of course the link produced no results, but hey, it was exciting for a minute!

[PPCMD]

I wonder if RIM reads the BB sites and finds them amusing or frustrating? Either way they need to do something, the tide keeps going in and out, with competitors dropping off more cargo every day.

[purephase]

You'll see the 4.3 version within days popping up on some carriers which already includes a lot of the changes for 4.5 (since it was basically renamed). The 8330 has 4.3 on it already.

purephase,

Bell Mobility is my carrier and as you know they launched CDMA Curve 8330 on April 11th. The specs show 4.3 as the OS. So does this mean that this version of 4.3 is actually 4.5? This is really getting confusing. Do you mind confirming? Thanks.

Keep on Crackin',

[Sith_Apprentice]

no, the version it launches with is 4.3.0.xx. This is 4.3. the OS 4.5 is actually 4.3.1 renamed. No devices have this yet.

Things included in that version are (that I've noticed so far):
- Video recording
- New message view (much cleaner)
- L theme
- New browser

I'm sure there are more. Those stand out for me at the moment.

I think the big changes for 4.5 are the Docs2Go support and HTML support in email. Not really interested in trying the beta though. I'll wait until it's released.

[SteveO86]

I think the big changes for 4.5 are the Docs2Go support and HTML support in email. Not really interested in trying the beta though. I'll wait until it's released.

Forgive me, if I am wrong but I thought HTML email was scrapped a few weeks (maybe months at this point time is just slipping with 4.5 stuff) ago. I am mainly looking foward Doc2Go, Voice Notes, Play Lists/YouTube support for my 8830 :) .

[bakerfall]

4.5 OS is capable of HTML rendering, but requires a BES or BIS version that also supports it. Neither of those are out either.

[rDeuce]

I am most looking forward to the HTML email, new browser and voice notes Bring it on RIM =)

Wait....is this 4.5 coming to the 8830 as well?

[SteveO86]

Yep.

[mcclosm]

Some of us with an 8100 can't use stereo bluetooth, annoying. Personally, I am waiting for the new OS just for this reason.

[clyde_turkey]

Well wait, wait, wait....
RIM is on the edge of getting ***** slapped by shareholders with reoccurring delays in server software and handheld OS's. Their biggest mistake was putting dates or even estimates for delivery... Here we are just over a month to WES and they really haven't delivered anything that they had promised for Q4 '07 or Q1 '08. So what's next for WES yet another show of "ARGON" and then try to gloss over two missed dates for BES 4.1.5, never mind the HTML mail removal...
RIM is either getting a little too arrogant or sloppy. I'm not sure of which yet...
My two cents and those waiting for 4.5 may have to wait until WES to get 4.3 with a little dressing on it....

[Tank2379]

That Sucks...... I hate when Developers do that they promise promise promiose and we wait... Now it sound like 4.5 won't be out for a long time....:-o

The problem is no matter what 4.5 brings people sill still not be happy because of the delays. Even if everything works perfectly and there are no bugs, we'll all find something to complain about it. If there was no "hype" I think the roll out would go better

Sitting @<hidden> my local t-mobile office listening to a RIM rep talk about what's coming. She says 4.5 will be out in June. Ugh.

4.3 will be out before then so you'll get a lot of the nice features you're waiting for in 4.5. Not sure why people don't understand this.

[penguin3107]

Not sure why people don't understand this.

Well, maybe because it's not true?
4.3.1 was scrapped and has evolved into 4.5.

[purephase]

Well, maybe because it's not true?
4.3.1 was scrapped and has evolved into 4.5.They'll be a 4.3.0 release. Might not hit all carriers as officially supported for all devices but it will be available (soon).

[JSanders]

nah... on the 81xx series yes. But the 83xx series is beyond that now (except for the illusive 8330--it already has 4.3.

But it is pretty well documented that RIM is skipping 4.3 for the remainder. Yes, i have seen and used 4.3 on the Curve also, but I doubt I will ever see it on a TMo or AT&T OS upgrade download site.

[purephase]

Which isn't to say that you can't use it at all.. ;) As I said, it might not be available for all carriers and devices but it will be available off the BlackBerry site (soon).

It's still significantly better than 4.2.

[housej55]

Isn't there supposed to be added audio support with these releases? I thought I saw somewhere in the posts of added bass and treble settings or equalizer. This may have been 4.5 OS not sure.

From what I've heard, OS 4.5 is back to beta again. There have been many bugs to work out and I doubt if we'll see any releases in April at all. There are still bugs in the .21 version that is rumored to be in testing now. Even after a good (relatively) bug free version hits the carriers they will have to test some more to make sure no other bugs have been introduced. It's going to be a while, folks.

You can get 4.3 right now. It's up on Bell's OS download page (https://www.blackberry.com/Downloads/entry.do?code=6C3CF77D52820CD0FE646D38BC2145CA). Select the 8330 option.

I don't think this is the long awaited software upgrade. I believe (don't quote me on this) the 8330 already came with 4.3 loaded on it. This may just be a small bug fix release.

Getting better.

It's May 1'st and no 4.5. Maybe they meant the spring of 2020?

4.3 is 4.5

4.5 is not being released until June/July.

[gsxr800]

4.3 is 4.5

4.5 is not being released until June/July.

When we get there it will become January/February

[RobM]

The anticipation is growing rapidly

[Sith_Apprentice]

4.3 is 4.5

4.5 is not being released until June/July.

this is incorrect.
4.3.1 is 4.5
there is a 4.3.0 that is out on the 8110, 8120, 8330 models.

4.3.2 is 4.6

[ianoop]

they might as well call it 5.0. whoever started these rumors has a cruel sense of humor.

[cmguerra77]

Sooooooooooo, Blackberry just announced its newest phone with OS 4.6, and we're still waiting for 4.5. I'd like to say that we should expect to see the official release soon, but you know what happens when you make an assumption.

[John Clark]

Let's hope, but don't hold your breath.

[cmguerra77]

Yeah, I'd be quite a feat to hold my breath that long!

[gsxr800]

It feels like waiting for WM6 for my blackjack back in the day. That took forever. And here we are rolling down the same road again. AAAAHHHHHH!!!!

[strike2tamu]

Well worth it, hopefully, i'm pretty sure it will be.

Great news! DataViz will be launching Documents To Go Premium Edition in June 2008. Anyone currently signed up on the announce list will be notified via e-mail the moment it is available. If you are not signed up, please do so below.

Since Documents To Go will be offically launching in June then we must have 4.5 in June (latest)... I would hope sooner... that quote is directly from dataviz's website.

Hopefully we will hear something more this week about the OS upgrade. But I won't be buying DTG when it launches since I will just get it bundled with the BB9000 Bold.
