Re: Latest OS: 9550 5.0.0.1656/5.0.0.1015 (Multilanguage)

I wound up using both methods and had problems with each. Finally the tech from RIM agreed that downgrading was the right solution. I went back to previous version, and now all is well.

Thumbs down Re: OFFICIAL OS 5.0.0.1015 for 9550 from Verizon

Major problem for me. Address Book disappeared and won't reload. Verizon and RIM tech support haven't been able to solve...but they keep urging me not to downgrade to old version. Quite annoying.

Archer6: Try hitting the upper portion of the keys when you are typing. I have found that this makes the 8830 keypad much more ergonomic and results in a lot fewer "mis-hits" and typing errors.
