I have seen alot of slowness when I first loaded it when I go to the pictures or ringtones it does take a while to load I get the hour glass constantly..

But the options are well worth the wait. Also has anyone noticed their phone being louder when on a call I had to turn mine almost all the way down.

I can now listen to voicemails sent from the PBX via email to my phone. So no more dialing in to figure out who called.. Great time saver!!

Default Happy with the upgrade but... - 10-30-2007, 05:01 PM

Getting .wav voice mails to play makes this worth the upgrade, but has anyone else had problems with the "today" themes? My old ones don't work, and neither do the 4.2 specific ones that I have downloaded.

So I was trying to load a 4.2 theme, it shows in the list but wont activate beyond the zen and icon on there now. Any reason why? I had the original plazmic theme reader loaded on there which isnt needed now I thought. So I deleted that off and still unable to activate them.

Any good direction for this?

did any of you notice the 4.2.2 on the themes you were trying to use? It may be that it may not be but worth investigating.

I deleted all the _vendorID instances from blackberry.alx and I still only have Dimension Icon, Dimension ZEN and Verizon themes. Anyone else get the other themes to work?
