As a side note, I updated, it went fine. Things are working great (not gloating, PCgirl). Thanks all for the walkthroughs, etc.

I wish it were that simple! There is no right click to exit or disable. So, I decided to just go for it and unsinstall the AVG and it still didn't work. Grrrr.

I tried downloading from the site and also saving and downloading. I tried both the English version and the Multi-language. I just can't believe it is this difficult!

It's still there. Every once in a while the page says that the link has been removed. Don't know why.

Or will my phone basically have all the Orange info in it? IM scared!!! What shall I expect in this upgrade?

You will have all the same access you have now. You won't get any Orange info.

Thanks Mr. Clark!!! That was quick!!! Any advice on backing stuff up such as 3rd party apps? I have read that 3rd party apps do not back up during the backup process...

Is the pre-loaded media included in this release. Like the background pictures, etc... Or is it exactly the same as the beta that I have had for over a week now.

[John Clark]

I'm guessing it's exactly the same.

That's the feeling that I had. Will wait for the next beta.

[John Clark]

Just use the wallpapers from one of the last releases.

Man, I wish I had seen this thread a few hours ago. Now I'm going to be forced to stay up even longer past my bedtime to download and install this.

JC - if I ever get this downloaded on my machine, will the the files I got rid of (thanks to your optimizing guide) be reloaded? Gosh, I hope not! LOL.

Oh, and when I did the optimizing, I didn't delete vendor.xml because I only upgraded to the latest T-mo version and I had too much trouble trying to locate where the unwanted files (vendor themes, etc.) would be. I was able to delete the videos and wallpapers and that freed up enough memory for me. I was up at like 25MB before third party apps and now I hover around 21MB so I'm good to go. If I don't delete vendor.xml when upgrading to 4.5, will I get all the all the other vendor stuff, such as Orange? Then I will definitely have to find and delete them.

The new OS installs all new java folders for the new OS. Yes, you have to do the optimizing all over again with each new OS.

Oh, OK. I almost had a heart attack when I did it the first time because after I did it I got the "WHITE SCREEN OF DEATH".

Then I did a few battery pulls and then I got the weird all-white "NONE" theme with the stick figure icons and then from there I finally got things fixed.

I may just wait untill the official T-Mo 4.5 comes out. Or maybe wait for the Javelin. At this point I'm just trying to get DM on my Vista notebook so I can sync and backup.

Thanks for your reply and help.

I've been using the Beta version of over a week now and a friend just updated his curve to the Orange UK 4.5 ealier.

They are both the same, no change what so ever. I'd imagine there is no reason at all for users with the pre release beta to change it to this one.

I'm using 180, the official T-Mo OS of the moment, so at this point I'm just trying to get any version of DM on my laptop to install!

[PCgirl]

The Javelin is looking really good to me right now...

I have found one bug. The "move" option in the media manager only works properly the first time. I took some photos that I wanted to move to a separate folder. The first one was fine, but after that I couldn't do it. I could go to the target folder but would get no menu option to "move here." To move another photo, I have to exit the media manager then re-enter it and move another photo. This bug is robust, in that I've tried battery pull, etc., and it's the same every time. I am using the beta release.

I couldn't find a link to the new OS. It just lists desktop software versions, etc etc. Help anyone?

[sgtcasey]

Some things I've noticed so far from this version:

1. My free memory last night after the install was 24MB. This morning it was 19MB. I ran the memory cleanup and it was still 19MB. I did a battery pull and now I'm up to 25MB.

2. The Preloaded Pictures folder is empty. I wanted to get rid of the default blue wallpaper but there was nothing on the device to change it to. A previous beta version of 4.5 had the usual Blackberry theme pictures and such. Nothing here. I may try reinstalling tonight.

3. I use UMA at home, so my 8320 says T-Mobile - TheHouse when I'm at home. I leave Wi-Fi on more or less all the time and when I got to work this morning my device was on the EDGE network with the Wi-Fi icon grayed out, but it said T-Mobile - HotSpot at the top. I brought up the menu and then went back to the main screen and that cleared up.

4. I have two t-zones icons after the install. I checked real quick to see if I had duplicate service books, but I didn't. I just hid one of them (I should hide both since I never use it).

Use the link in the first post of this thread. It will take you to Blackberry's website. Pick your device from the drop down box and then on the next page pick the version you want to download.
