thank you; i don't get the message anymore.

Too funny

That darn "G" in GSM stands for Global.

Now, if you switch to CDMA, you are almost guaranteed that the update will be from a US based carrier. Not 100%, but a lot.

On my 2nd curve because first one a letter stopped working and I had this version on my 2nd and finally downgraded earlier today. I kept having random restarts that I could not figure it out why so I hope downgrading will stop it from happening,

Does anyone know when the 4.3 OS is going to be released???

Thanks in advance

Nope. Rumor I've heard is sometime in Q1 2008. I doubt we'll see it this year.

Bummer! Is there an official document stating the release notes of that new OS?

any updates to this OS? is Mod JC still getting random reboots?

?

i have a question.....is this OS only in chinese or does it run normal on english also ?!!?

sorry if it is a stupid question but is that im new with blackberrys

i appreciate.

It includes normal English.

I've not had any more random reboots.

I had a random reboot yesterday while playing a xvid file... hasn't done it at any other time, but the file was a 320x180 @ 520kpbs xvid... might have been too much for the BB to handle for an extended period of time?

My bad... I just checked and i have OS 180, not 184.

so this should be good to go huh? JC, you may want to update your signature with the dot-184?

Were your reboots related to UMA or not related?

I think you're right about UMA seeming more stable after the recovery from the flooding. Maybe they were on hold with some update and decided to throw it in when they could blame downtime on the storm.

After first update to .184 several weeks ago, I had to coax it to connect to UMA on 2 occassions, but now I don't have to do anything. The phone does it by itself. Still has a hard time with some hotel wireless routers though.

hey guys thanks for answering my questions....

but i got another one...and my question is....do i need 2 do a backup of my address book and all thoses others things before i apply the new OS...or does the new OS saves all the contacts and everything normally ?!

i appreciate

My only reboot has been while on UMA, on a call, and typing an email at the same time.

It will do it, but you should do a manual backup from Desktop Manager yourself in case there's some power failure or something else unplanned. Takes hardly any time.

guys i got a error why im trying 2 install

it says "Error reading setup initialization file"

did i do anything wrong ? im just trying 2 open it up manuelly....do i need a special program to open this type of file ?

im running Windows Vista Ultimate 32 bits on ma pc....

You may need to redownload the file.

btw, why would it be important to do this? when i upgraded to 180, i don't think i had to do this (i had 171 with the box); thanks all.

It depends on the OS release and what handset you have. The BB device itself has a vendor code embedded inside (I assume on a chip of some sort?); if the vendor ID of your device matches the vendor ID of the downloaded firmware (i.e. you own a T-Mobile USA handset and downloaded the T-Mobile USA firmware) then there is no need to delete this file, everything will just work because the vendor IDs match. If they *don't* match though (i.e. you own a T-Mobile USA handset and downloaded AT&T firmware), you must delete vendor.xml so that the desktop software will load the "mismatched" firmware onto your device.
