its out there in the wild.....downloading it now

[raja_3012]

woo hoo.. me too downloading right now !!!

[sparky12]

Just pulled it down but not sure I'm going to install. Will wait for some initial feedback before I do. Just got my 8900 this past weekend and have been happy with .133.

[Helmdawg]

Which OS is T-mobile sending out of the box for the 8900?

[Nyce22]

Mine came with 4.6.1.114

[raja_3012]

T-Mobile is shipping the 8900s with 4.6.1.114.

[esbe02]

New OS .144 is out, not official though.

Anyone download this OS yet and care to give a summary on improvements/issues?

I have the .133 and its pretty stable. Wasn't sure if .144 was worth the time if there are no big improvements.

thanks.

I have heard around that it fixes a lot of speed and battery drain issues. But you need to discover them by yourself. A lot of it depends on your persobal useage

I'm going to wait a bit and see what the pros/cons are. Looks like it may use up a bit more memory as well.

Looks like 4.6.1.114 is already on my Curve 8900 on T-mobile

Ops, not .144 though.

Aside from the pure addiction of upgrading to the newest OS everytime which I am guilty of, how does .114 perform?

[datboi305]

ive been runnin .144 since this morning and everything seems ok so far

[datboi305]

mine came with .114 also but once i got i already had .133 downloaded and installed on my pc....so i installed it once i unboxed the phone so i have no experience on .114

.114 is overall smooth but there are somethings which I experienced better with .133 over .114

1) Better camera performance. There was no lag in auto focus. The pictures are taken almost instantaneously after the shutter button is clicked.

2) Better battery performance.

I was on .114 for just 2 days before I upgraded to .133.. so this is what I experienced.
