I got my hands onto a Curve 8300 with 4.3 OS!

I have the device for sale as well... but just in case anyone wants to see the screen shots and interested in checking out the new 4.3 OS, here you go:

I haven't been able to take all the screenshots yet..but here are some changes that I noticed


The device is on sale here:

more screenies...

you guys looking for anything specific?

Nice! Fingers crossed that 4.3 will work with T-Mobile service books & browsers.

Do you not have a way to download the OS yet? I guess this means the buyer would have to count on not mucking up the 4.3 OS that's in the phone now - at least until a download becomes available from RIM or a carrier...?

If you know of a place to get a copy of 4.3 for the rest of us to try, please share!

Very nice thanks for the screen shots. I see a few small differences from your screen shots, a few graphical fixes in the way an email is composed and a new contact entry screen.

What else do you notice?

What I see from the pics looks like:

- Voice Notes / Recorder
- Playlists in the music player
- Menu choice: short/full as your default
- Slight GUI improvement with options to distinguish SMS/Email when combined

I will still be most interested in seeing:
- T-Mobile browser / svc book compatibility
- snappy performance
- no disappearing icon folders: I'd like to use these!

...and Wireless Update!!!

more screenies...

#2 screenshot...what are those icons on the top right? I don't have them on my other curve

first screenshot is from the BB Maps options menu...

so...umm anyone wanna buy?

i have no reason to carry two curves....sigh!

Is this a straight 8300? (i.e., not 8310 or 8320?)... I also have no reason to own two Curves...but I'll probably upgrade to an 8310 or 8320 soon -- probably 8320, so I can be sure of getting T-Mobile OS upgrades that work with browsers/svc books, get a subsidized price... and I'm starting to think that since a Curve with WiFi and GPS isn't likely soon, I'd rather get the 8320 with WiFi since I can add an external GPS puck and wind up with both functions and still have a nice sleek Curve in my pocket...

yea as far as i can tell this is a 8300 (atleast according to the software) plus i don't see a option for WiFi

Wow Fr0zen... you're a star...

Boy Genious has your screenshot over on his site. It's the big story for today!

unless you want to trade for an unlocked pearl ;)

wooo hooo when playlist, thankz!

btw i noticed that the browser loads pages much much faster. I found a few more minor changes here and there, but nothing major.

The playlist feature is very handy..and I love the UI for Email, Address Book and Tasks

wanna share the OS with the rest of us? :D

i wish i could.... i have the device with 4.3.... not the os

I am selling the device for $400 CAD now...

How did you get this device? I like the look of the address book, e-mail and tasks as well.

Please show us a screenshot of the "Connection Manager" from the home screen. (Usually says "Manage Connections" and looks like a little cell tower icon)

Thanks,
--Kidd

its exactly the same as the regular 8300 curve..no changes.

sorry guys the blackberry is no longer with me. It has been SOLD!!

why would you sell an unlocked unbranded 4.3 OS curve instead of the older one you had?

its a ROGERS branded Curve.

I noticed his location & 2 of the screenshots show ROGERS. ;)

Nice deal. Definately worth it and a Fair Market VALUE on the price.

Now I need to know something, any changes to the browser, either in options, settings, or just in rendering sites that previously had issues?

Also I'm interested in its ability to play audio - without A2DP; while still being able to view photos, is this possible in the Curve at all?

Thanks.
