Will Desktop Manager 4.7 work or do I need 5.0?

Thanks

im using DTM 4.7 and it keeps failing to open, my it only works with 5.0 DTM.

How is it? Would you recommend trying it?

Please post the good, the bad and the ugly about 5.0. Any major changes?

Any suggestions where I can find DTM 5.0?

DM 5.O isn't out yet I used 4.6.



I like 5.O and its running well on my bold.



Biggest change is BBM its like that of the storm. If having several convos a box pops up conversation field showing name and first line of conversation.



BBM Contacts field also show last line of conversation as well as status.



No mopre menu > change option, there are drop down boxes instead.



Emails can be flagged and searched by flagged emails.

A few changes in the browser one of which is apop up box for example on this forum if I put my cursor on 'log in' a box appears saying 'go'.



There are some options that may need BIS 5.0 for example there are 2 spam folders one formail and one for browser.



Out of all mu applications 3 won't work. Viigo, Gpsed and the fB app.

4.7 wont bring it up... I just used the app loader to upgrade... Keep in mind this OS is a BETA so some of ur apps WONT work (CONFIRMED: MySpace, Facebook, Viigo, among others) some apps WILL work (CONFIRMED: Google Maps, Capture It, BerryBuzz among others)

Major differences:
Start up screen now shows the word "Blackberry" with a status bar on how much is left to load
Profiles - new profiles have been added ("Medium", "Phone Calls Only", "All Alerts Off", "Set Contact Alerts")

More major differences:
Media - There's a "View Memory Use" feature that shows u how much media ur using and on what...
Pictures - Use trackball to go from one picture to the new by scrolling left and right instead of having to click N or P (which u can still use)
BBM - Refreshed looked pretty much...
Browser - Is faster but in this BETA OS it goes to Media Net when you open it (a bug) so to use the browser u gotta use "Go To..."

So far so good for me using this OS :)

Well isn't this exciting news. For those of you claiming facebook incompatability, what rev are you running? 1.2 or 1.5?

Not sure I'm ready to jump on this ship yet...The lack of app compatibility is a major issue for me.....

New OS for Bold (5.0)
 

Just upgraded to the 5.0 OS and was running the Beta 4.6 prior. I also upgraded to the 1.5v of Facebook and now the icon is no where to be displayed on the new OS. Anyone else having this problem?

From what I've heard, several applications, including Facebook, are not compatible with handheld OS v5.0.

Mods - can you move to the Beta section please.

Cool, I didn't think we'd any 5.0 leaks few another few months.

Can't wait for an 8330 5.0 leak :)

**threads merged** one is enough

It's an early beta. I loaded it fine with DM 4.7; not a problem. Yes, application compatibility is a major issue. When you install an early beta, you take risks. That's one of them.

I backed down to 4.6 since I wanted the applications over the new, early beta OS.
