The 8320 will be in stores tomorrow and the Official 4.5 download will be up around 5am.

[John Clark]

So, AT&T is releasing the 8320 with OS 4.5? And they'll release the OS the same day?

[Jason Mark]

The 8320's will be in the stores in the morning. Since they're launching with 4.5, the Official release is supposed to come out tomorrow as well. One source says it'll be up for download at 5am.

[John Clark]

I'm not saying that's wrong (because clearly I don't know) but it would be a first. It's usually a week or two after a device launch before an OS is available for download. I'd just laugh if it's .69!

I'll check at 6:50 am CST when I arrive at work. If 4.5 is on the AT&T site, then a-okay; if it ain't on the AT&T site, no big deal.
Later gator.

Yeah I know. I was told they are releasing it to coincide with the launch of the 8320. Was also told it's more than likely .69. lol.

[militia]

is that 5am..pacific?

[Jason Mark]

I believe EST. It "should" be out tomorrow, but definitely by the end of the week. ;)

And it's funny because so many people here have downgraded, wiped, etc. because they said .69 wasn't any good and wanted to wait for the official AT&T release (which, of course, would be more stable *rolls eyes*.) It's possible they could release .81.

[militia]

oh, good, hopefully i'll have a nice surprise waking up haha

[John Clark]

.69 is already available officially for some devices and "out there" for other devices. It will be no big surprise if it's .69.

[militia]

well i'm on 81, but i liked 69 a whole lot..
if it does happen to be 69, will it be any different from the beta 69's *out there*?
(im leaning towards no, but i'd rather ask)

Not stable? lol. Yeah tell me about it. I agree it's possible .81 is final. I was just told it's possible, but not likely. lol... Guess we'll see.

[JSanders]

and other are saying they won't release 4.5 tomorrow...

[TroyDBrown]

.69 has been my favorite.

Sure, after they added the improvements it became .81.

No there are no differences between the "released" versions of an OS and the "unreleased" versions. The only difference is the vendor.xml file is written to only allow installation on that carrier's device. However, when you delete the vendor.xml file, it's the same OS.

[Jason Mark]

Knowing AT&T, it's probably been pushed back as of 11:59 pm today. LOL...

Wirelessly posted

I need .81 for my 8320. Have been unable to find it. The battery life is horrible with .69 and several UMA to EDGE dropped calls. This OS was rumored to be out over a year ago, this is why I'm looking forward to the Google Android news. I might actually leave BB. This is RIM's own fault, very slow devolop ment in terms of the OS for our handhelds.

[NJBlackBerry]

Still not on the AT&T download site. Anyone have any more information on this rumor?

[Johnny909]

7:20 a.m. CST, no 4.5.xxx OS on AT&T site. Like I said last night, NBD.
