Latest OS: 8703 4.5.0.148 (Platform 2.4.0.22)
Finally, an official OS 4.5 for the 8703e! Thanks Sprint!
Sprint 8703e support page: Support - BlackBerry 8703e Click the "Check for Updates" link for info and download link for OS 4.5! As always, for a non-Sprint device, delete VENDOR.XML. I'll have to wait 'til Tuesday to load it on a spare work device. |
Downloaded, installed and its working, HTML email, wow. I may be content with this old phone for a while longer. To soon to give an in depth opinion, but no problem with the upgrade.
|
Update after a few days:
HTML email makes this a new phone, its great No performance degradation, upgraded from 4.2.xx Voice notes recorder is nice GPS works but is slow. Browser is faster |
well, i took it as for 8700 , i am sorry
|
Successfully installed, seems to be ok other than the Enterprise Activation taking longer to get started compared to the last 'upgrade'.
|
Finally had a chance to update one of our Verizon 8703e handhelds today. No issues, but I was surprised to see that only Word To Go and Slideshow To Go are installed; you have to register (free) to download the latest update including Sheet To Go.

Found a bug in either my phone or the OS. The battery indicator stays on full unless I pull and re-insert the battery. Anyone else?

4.2 had a wav file player that allowed me play voicemail that is emailed to me from my voip land line. Wav files are not supported by 4.5.
The malfunctioning battery indicator is a nuisance. Not sure if I will keep 4.5...but....HTML email is a real plus. |

Have to keep an eye on that... |
Odd, the battery level indicator works fine for me on a Verizon phone... ?!?

Sprint Blackberry 8703e OS 4.5.0.148 no Compose MMS
I upgraded my blackberry from 4.2 to 4.5.0.148 but do not have an option to Compose MMS. I have an MMS folder, but no ability to create one. I've rebooted, resent service books, provisioned, etc. Anybody know why there's no Compose SMS menu item?
|
I've noticed over the last couple of days that if I plug it into my laptop to charge, the correct battery level will be displayed after several seconds both in 'Status' and on the battery level indicator.
