This is good news. These 8130 users are making me feel like a second class citizen with my 4.2.2 OS.

Is it here yet...Is it here yet...Is it here yet...

I'm soooo excited! I just can't hide it! Come on blackberry! Join us!

I'm So Excited (For OS 4.5)!

Oops you missed it! lol, did you blink?

SPACEBALLS

I love that movie!!!!

that is one of the best lines ever

haha, someone got it, and quickly too. I have that movie on my Blackberry and watch it about once a month, great stuff

SpaceBalls is one of the only Movies i own

eh....at least you're not CDMA.

I think the other way atleast I am not GSM. I used to be and would never go back. My EVDO is fast, my network is awesome. Cant say the same for the GSM users in my family

I do have some CDMA envy at times. And then I remember that I have signal issues in two important places... home and the office.

Wow, brings back memories!

Im same way with GSM no signal in several places I need it.

I *almost* pissed on my pants, but this is an excellent rating

I must have since I still dont see it

lol... as soon as I move and get a new job, I will make the switch!

I am anxious to pair my 8820 to my Macbook Pro, but the current Bluetooth Stack has a fatal bug that requires a full battery-pull in between every connection, and even then only connects about 5% of the time.

Anyone know if this will be addressed? Please? Please?

(Also, I thought 4.2.2 provided stereo bluetooth -- at least I sort of get it, but the volume control never worked right with my headphones (wi-gear iMuffs), so I kept the iPod).

Wow! So February x 5 = May? I had no idea the math worked like that!

I'm hoping there's a mistake/omission in those lists. They show "Bluetooth Stereo Music (H)" for the 8100 and 8800, but NOT for the 8820 or 8830 or any Curve model.

Now if it was just the Curve's that they were saying wouldn't have it, I'd be worried - but is it possible the 8800 WOULD while the 8820 WOULDN'T??

the Curves already have Bluetooth stereo music. I believe the 8820 and 8830 do as well, though i will find out here in a sec.

EDIT: nope, 8820/30 do not. Though all 83xx do.

The 8830 has A2DP as far as I know.

So I guess you celebrate christmas in Feb...

FYI, 8820 does have it. I think current 8800 doesn't tho.

Just wondering since I am new to the BB Curve will I need to do something for my BB to get this update when it is released or will AT&T push it to my phone?

I checked and wasn't able to find the answer.

Edit: Murphy's law strikes. I found the link about upgrading the BB for my carrier after posting this.

4.5? What happened to 4.4? lol? as far as i know there isn't a Blackberry OS 4.4 available or did i miss something?

You missed something alright. lol. They renamed 4.3 to 4.5 for marketing reasons.

Yeah, to make it sound like they have been making new changes as opposed to sitting on the same rev for along time

WOW I totally thought some of the text was a bad typo! I didn't realize it was Spaceballs. I haven't seen that since the opening in theatres when I was 13, some 21yrs ago! Man I just feel VERY old :(

Any idea on other changes thsi OS will bring? TCP field additions to APN?

Haha nice. The "Jessie taking speed" episode.

haha that's a classic epp. She was so high in that one!

No worries... *Turns on flux capacitor* Everyone pile in to my 1991 honda accord (the delorian is in the shop)

You know if i stop hitting the refresh button time might actually pass faster...

is it here yet...is it here yet...is it here yet

Maybe homeland security stopped the update at the border in Canada? Seems like I am always jonesin for an update.

by this week do you mean next week lol

Dawg we are using a logarithmic scale for the days. so 1 day, 10 days, 100 days, 1000 days, etc by the time we get to the 7th day, we will have OS 10! (perhaps they will even have animal names for the OS by then )

lmao

I don't know if the bugs are holding off the release or there are political reason (like RIM and carrers having an agreement not to update software for old devices for x number of weeks/months so that new devices like the Pearl 2 get good market penetration because 4.3 is already out on Pearl 2 then why we still have bugs in the versions for 88xx or 83xx builts, doesn't make sense to me.

4.3.1 (not 4.5) is not anywhere close to the same OS as 4.3. 4.3 is used as a base yes, but the additional features are alot more than just minor updates. and i seriously doubt RIM would keep 3 devices selling and not update the rest of their devices just to get better market penetration.

I predict there will never be a 4.5, it like that elusive pot at the end of the rainbow...
