...I actually did start with the instructions in the first post of this thread. The first two links brought me to the same place (as expected) and the third brought me to a page that gave me this message "The page you have requested has been moved or no longer exists". After navigating thru the links on the page with the error message, I was able to get myself to the page the first two links brought me to entitled "Software Download for BlackBerry Support".

From this page I chose "BlackBerry Desktop Software v4.5" from the drop down menu and then chose to download "Desktop Manager 4.5.0 B16 English - With Media Manager" from the lists of downloads available. None said anything about "Device Software" or "Handheld Software". They were all Desktop Software downloads, USB and Modem Drivers downloads, or Device Manager downloads.

Once the download was complete, I rebooted my laptop, deleted the vendor.xml file, plugged in my BB, and opened up the Device Manager but I was not prompted to upgrade. My Desktop Manager now says I have version 4.5.0.15 installed and I'm still stuck.

Sorry to be a pain but can anyone be more specific to my next steps?

indeed the wifi is much improved, that I have noticed. Never had much of a problem with bluetooth though. anyhow, Im loving this new OS so far. Haven't had a dropped call when switching from EDGE to UMA or vice versa yet. Hopefully it won't happen ever.

The first link is not the same as the 3rd link. The first link will take you to the new OS downloading site. You'll see the drop down menu to select what model smartfone you have, which should be the 8320. After selecting that, you'll be able to click on the first download link for,
BlackBerry Handheld Software v4.5.0.75 (Multilanguage).

After downloading the file, run the file. After doing that, Plug in your BB and run Desktop Manager.

I get that message occasionally on my 4.2 OS

KimBob, it appears you not downloading the actual OS.

Hung! You're a genius, I don't know how I screwed that up, it's downloading now. I will keep you posted!

Don't forget to delete the vendor.xml file again.

After playing with 4.5.0.52 for a week my phone suddenly developed a massive problem with the media card (didn't add anything, had about 900md's of music & photos from the 4.2 days), causing the phone to consistently restart (phone works fine without the media card). I have reformatted the card numerous times with no luck. I should state that I didn't use the Roxio Desktop Software to add the media, just simple drag & drop via itunes & iphoto to the Blackberry folders marked music & pictures respectively (BTW, this was never a problem in 4.2). Why it started to do it after a week I don't know. I could try and reload 4.5.0.52 to my device but that would reformat everything & make me go through the hassle of getting my phone reconnected to my corporate BES. I'm just hoping someone out there my have solved the issue. Thanks.

Thanks for the tip but unfortunately I tried it numerous times, however it didn't work. Still crashes the system after I add the music & pictures (without any .dat files).

No need to be posting the same problem in multiple threads. I posted in the other thread. Can you narrow it down to either pictures OR music? Then narrow it down from there.

Tear. It did not work. I downloaded 3 separate times, it keeps saying that there is an error. I tried running it, I tried saving it, I tried everything!

"Error reading setup initialization file"

Are you using Vista or XP?

Xp...

The uma/bluetooth issue being resolved is worth upgrading in itself. Its still hillarious to me that I could make calls over uma with my H500 but never with the H800 lol

The new software is great! Brand new TMO device updated to 4.5 w/BES - everything seems to be working well. The UMA feature is probably the coolest feature of them all. I love it!
