I bet you this is because they will release a DIFFERENT version with DIFFERENT maps for europe
|
I hope you're right mate. From what I've seen we're not getting maps at all, but here's hoping! |

It really depends on the situation. Motorla's HS810 and HS850 were just poor headsets in the callers had trouble hearing me regardless of what device the headset was paired to, indicating to me that the limitation was the headset itself and not my 8700 or the 8700's OS. Otherwise, I really liked those headsets.
In your case it sounds like once again the headset is the culprit. I've used Plantronics headsets with my 8700 across a good distance in my house without any problems.

So just be clear, 4.2 does play WAV attachments in BBerry email? |

IT does on my Pearl... Which is AWESOME since we've been waiting for this feature for years now with our Cisco VOIP messages all being forwarded to e-mail in the form of a WAV attachment... I've got a bunch of managers that want this ability on their 8700 ASAP!

Guys, please stop requesting the beta OS on a public forum in public - it's stupid. I do hope you understand why Marco didn't respond to a single person with a reply in this thread requesting the OS (I've removed all of those requests, mind you).
jshawnl, OS 4.2 has support for WAV file attachments provided your BES has the WAV/Audio distiller. This was only present in BES 4.1 and some later service packs of BES 4.0 (I believe SP4 and SP5). Eventually, there will be another distiller to add support for MP3 and AMR attachments, as well.

Thanks, jibi, but what about non-BES BBerries? Are we out of luck again?
Just for the record - I don't want the beta - I want the official release! |

haha. no prob, wasn't directed at you.
as for the non-BES users, it is my understanding that BIS users will have this functionality in a future upgrade of the BIS services, although it is not currently enabled or working.

My voice mail for my 800 number uses wma files. Wish they would use wav, but they don't. So naturally I would like to see wma audio support.

I had a feeling there would never be wma.
Luckily I can call in to my 800 number and go to the voice mail and listen to them. It does cost me min against my plan for the 800 number. I get caller id with it too, so if I know the person or think it is an emergency then I can call in and listen, otherwise I just wait until I am at the office or home to login and listen on my pc.
You will never see me on a windows modbile device. I am hooked on blackberry. I was holding out to see if the Q was going to be good and on Cingular. Bad reviews and no Cingular turned me off, plus I had been a bb user in the past so I didn't think hard about making the decsion to go with the 8700c. I love it!!
On an off the topic note: I did get my replacement bb directly from rim. It is a refurb. In another thread I did explain about what happened. It got launched from the launcher and got all scratched up. Rim replaced it with a refurb. I noticed I do get some dust underneath the screen area. I haven't opened it and probably won't. I am wondering if I go back to rim and explain the problem with the refurb, if they will replace that with another? Or maybe I do something to seal it better to keep the dust out? Any ideas?

It's out for the 8100. The author of this post has a beta version for 8700. No word on a release date yet for any other model than the 8100.

Read the Thread
YOu guys need to read the whole thread, most of the issues are covered. I have to laugh that Jibi said to stop asking about the beta in a public forum and exactly 9 minutes later someone asked where they can download it?

Well I can't help it if I'm just stupid. No need to get all pissed that I asked a harmless question that was answered. Considering this IS a forum, as in asking questions.

Not an issue... RIM will have to pay Microsoft a licensing fee, but per unit, that's 1/7 of the cost of what they currently pay for MP3... 1/7 what they pay for AMR... 2/5 of the fees for the MPEG-4 AAC for MMS. WMA DRM is optional, they don't have to use it if they don't want to. |

WMA Stream
I'd just like to be able to monitor a WMA-based internet stream for work. Anyone seeing this as being possible on one of the future "media-enabled" BB's? The Windows Mobile devices still don't impress me at all - I love my 7250.
