If you're unsure I'd recommend sticking with your present OS until there's a later official release of v4.5 - you shouldn't have long to wait, but check back here for the chorus of approval before downloading.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the advice. I can't wait to get the video camera and voice notes updates.

I have downloaded and installed 4.5 on my bb. However, when I downloaded the 4.5 Desktop manager, it did not recognize Outlook as an option for synch. I reinstalled the 4.2.2 that came with my BB. It recognizes Outlook, but nothing appears on my desktop calendar. The calendar shows "all day events" in bold, but no text is in the day mode. When I try to re-do it, Outlook tells me this is in conflict with another appointment. So it is there, just not visible. Also, I cannot delete them. Can anyone help me? I like the 4.5 format because of the new fonts, etc. and would not want to go back to the 4.22.
thanks,
Karen

Are you running Outlook 2000? Support for Outlook 2000 was removed from all versions of Desktop Manager 4.3 and higher. You'll need to stick with 4.2 SP2 if you use Outlook 2000.

The only problem that I have encountered are the sms messages. I get little boxes on each sms messages. It doesnt interfere with the message but it is pretty annoying.

Im having trouble with the following:

When someone sends me a voicenote via blackberry messenger, when i click the "play" option all i get is "buffering"

O/S seems to freeze sometimes, mostly when running camera, or video.

Bugs!!!

Thanks for this thread.
The new OS works fine on my recent 4.2.
My advice is to upgrade with as virgin a 8310 as possible.

[John Clark]

BBMessenger voicenotes is a bug that will be fixed in later versions.

I just upgraded and everything seems to be working well except my trackball light. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't come on at all. Anyone else have this happen?

[John Clark]

That's controlled by a light sensor near the notification led on the upper right corner. If it's bright enough in the room the lights won't come on. If it's dark, then they'll come on. You can cover it with your finger and see if the lights come on then.

[Saphireice]

Well, that would explain it then! (:

Thanks!

I've been running this version for several weeks with not a single issue. Battery life is good to go as well.

Yes, browsing is absolutely useless. Makes me wish I had my iPhone back.

Everything else seems ok. I noticed the voice directions in AT&T Navigator is not as loud

Look for the 4.4.0.46 or higher. That will fix the Browser problem and it is much more stable on my 8310 curve.
- had the same problems and also Nav4all works really well with the higher # OS

Does the 4.4.0.46 (or higher) solve the text entry problem in the browser? Any new problems with the 46+ that weren't seen with the 37 (on AT&T)?

Went ahead and upgraded my AT&T 8310 (being used on TMO) today. I had hoped a couple of weeks ago to wait for official AT&T version but who knows now when that will come out. (Likely tomorrow since I upgraded today - LOL.)

So far so good. Very impressed with the new OS so far. No glitches yet discovered. I like the look of it -- somewhat "crisper" and "cleaner". (Not sure how else to describe it.) Email especially and very happy with HTML email whether pics actually download or not -- at least I can read the darn things now without scrolling through so many screens of HTML code.

Yes you could write text and use the tabs also.
What I find is if you check spelling you need to put the (I) back on the black box that moves when you type. Click the track ball and you could move out of the reply box.
Other then that every thing is working.
GPS works no problem opera mini, yahoo messenger. I use Nav4all since BB and Google maps are not working. There is a work around for it if you need it.

I download my first ever upgrade last night. It was the V4.5.0.37 and everything works great. I love having the video cam. But for some reason when i try to compose a e-mail it say "No message services configured" now i am getting all of my e-mails and text mess in my inbox just fine. I just can't send any emails. It will let me write them and save the draft but thats it. Does anyone have any ideas.
Thanks for all that everyone does. This place is a life saver.
BB 8310 (AT&T)

ccholcomb, I responded to your other post... please do not double post your questions in the forums here. It is considered rude.

after a couple of days of use on my 8310....the standby button stop working after some presses (have to restart the phone to fix it)...also the enhanced browser features of this new OS (mouse cursor that changes to text cursor in text boxes and auto highlights buttons) stop working also...i have to exit the browser and reload a new page to get it to work right.

i like the video feature, it's cool. but you can tell this OS would work much better on faster hardware (i.e. the bold).
