Default First screenshots of 4.5 OS for 8100 - 03-28-2008, 05:05 AM

At first I want to say, I can't give you any download links, so don't PM me or post here with requests...

This is 4.5.0.9 OS(BETA) for 8100 Pearl.
If you think it's similar with 4.3.1.14 - you're wrong.


The firts different thing is media player.... well it was looking better in 4.3.1 beta I think, but this one is nice too


We can still play video in Full Screen, and switch to list of songs while playing. There's no Bass boost option, or some king of equalizer here.
Voice Recording:


New camera layout. If there's a risk of 'blur', we can see a small exclamation mark telling us about it.


Bluetooth audio streaming works great, we can use bluetooth headphones, or simply stream to PC or BT enabled car-audio....


Documents To Go works fine for me, no Excel yet, but Word and Power Point to Go are great. We can simply view and edit our files from SD card. No MS Office 2007 support yet (.docx files), and we can't zoom pictures in viewing mode.


Of course we can still use L theme, and folder addition.


Enjoy!

Well I have it for 2 days now, and everything works fast,no hangups or errors (I'm not a BES/BIS user). Viewing pictures is way faster from 4.2.1 and when you zoom in, photos are rendered nicely, no 'squares' like in 4.2.....

PS Camera's sound when taking picture is now so quiet, I can hardly hear it in an empty room.

Really? I still can't get into the concept of trying to edit on a BB ...maybe with a BlueTooth Keyboard / Mouse

you will find that you wont use it as much as you think you will. I have used it on a palm device, on windows devices, and other small screen devices and its painful. 2" screen versus tethering and a 15" screen/full keyboard... hmm that is a tough choice.

Very true, indeed. But that one time that you need to make a minor edit to a document that's being frantically e-mailed around while you're in the middle of a seminar, you'll be very very glad to have it.

dont get me wrong, i have E-Office now, and have used it some. However I dont think anyone here will be routinely typing If/Then statements in excel documents in cell G35 either. Its extremely tedious at best

AND, the Docs2Go included is viewing only, not creating, editing, etc. Other than being free to view, I have not found a great value in the service yet. I am still open on it, though.

You can edit, also you can use basic formating (bold etc). To change color or size of the font you need to buy premium version. You can't make a new file too, but just put an empty word file to SD, open it and then save as with different name....

PS It works with Suretype of course

I just hope this kick-starts my Opera 4 working again. Stupid t-mobile upgrade killed a lot of my apps.
