Alright, it's available. More memory than with .162. Browsers a tad faster as well. Post your findings.



Edit: also, I don't use a Bold.

I actually do not have as much free after the upgrade, and the battery life is not quite as good as .162. Thats just what I have noticed.

Then what device are you using then?

Hello,

I have a couple of questions before I update to the new OS. After updating the OS to .147 my network connections started to have problems. First off all my "blackberry internet service" did not connect anymore and sometimes my 3G and EDGE connections dissapear completely and I cannot receive emails or IM. Im using a SIM-free phone on an O2 network in the UK. Is this purely a network problem or is it related to the upgrade to a beta OS?

Thank you.

Just found it online.

Downloading it as of now.

Will update you soon.

I'm loading .167 now. How's battery life on this version and radio signal quality?

It's out in the wild now..usual sources.

They never get tired, don't they?

I am telling you...it's a plot by RIM to do free beta testing. We are all lab rats like someone pointed out the other day

Nothing different than .162, except IM folder is gone.

Using it for the last 6 hours, haven't noticed any improvement.

I was just getting used to the IM folder. I'll miss the little guy.

I am downloading now, but from the posts over at Crackberry.com it seems people are having mixed results with this build.

I was getting used to the IM folder as well.

Well I have installed and so far so good. A couple of initial observations are that my starting memory is slightly lower than what I had with .162. Also, it seems that I am now holding on to a 3G signal better in my office than I did with prior builds. Appears stable, will let you know if anything else comes up.

It is a stable version than the previous ones.

I wonder what is using up all that extra memory.

what IM folder? ive been running .162 for a while and havent even noticed it...

You probably don't have BB messenger or any other RIM provided IM client on your phone.

yeah i do have bb messenger

Installed .167, then had to revert to .162

The problem I had was whenever I launched the browser it would go to the weather service. Also the "K" key wouldn't bring up bookmarks.

Wow, that is strange. Really likeing .167, no issues, Fast and stable.
Battery seem to be a little better.

I had it, but a custom theme has removed it. Are you running a standard theme or a custom theme?

This is happening on my .162 also.
