This is very odd since you guys mentioned the browser issue. I have a cingular SIM in mine. I do have Blackberry browser but no Cingular/ATT browser.

Blackberry Browser is from your BES.

Ugh, I just noticed all my browser favorites are gone also...that's like my phone number, I'll never remember them!

These are the service books listed except for my email accounts
My browser service book is gone

My service books are identical to yours! I just don't get why we don't have our bb browser.

[fossiltkm]

Strange.... I downgraded to the latest att 4.2 OS and it gave me the bb browser. I may have to wait until att releases the official 4.5 OS. I'm happy I got the bb browser back though!

[betterlate1]

Yes, I've had a BB browser forever until I downloaded a 4.5 OS.

I downloaded 8700M_PBr4.2.1_rel155 PL2.3.0.79_A4.2.1.96_ATT, deleted the vendor.xml, use JL commander to wipe, and when I put ATT back on it gives me the tmobile text message and does not take my ATT SIM card?

I searched and found the download sticky but didn't get much further than that...

Man, what a great upgrade. Even coming from 4.2 the little enhancements here and there made it worth it!

This thread is about OS 4.5--you are asking about 4.2?

I don't know what you mean about "it gives me the tmobile text message".

Is your device locked to another network? Loading another OS doesn't unlock a device. You need to get the device unlocked. Check the link in my sig for a good deal from a reputable unlocking service.

scratch the above...
[1] I formattted (zero fill - 1 pass) and installed XP.
[2] Installed 430_b025_multilanguage_nomediamanager.exe
[3] deleted vendor.xml before running BB Desktop.
[4] installed 8700M_PBr4.5.0_rel75_PL2.7.0.66_A4.5.0.52_Orange.e xe
[5] deleted vendor.xml
[6] use javaloader.exe -u wipe
[7] made sure I deleted vendor.xml in c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader
[8] used BB Desktop to update 8700G.

It got done with all its booting and such... and it has a text/sms message that says "thank you for purchasng the BlackBerry 8700g from T-Mobile..."

My AT&T SIM does not work... "Invalid SIM card"

Hi!

Does anyone have experience with 4.5 and 8707v, or ill be the one who has to brick a hanyd?

Thanks in advance!

[JSanders]

There is no OS 4.5 for the 8707, of which I am aware. Yes, you would likely have a brick on hand IF you can even get this OS to load to your device.

Anyone figure out a solution to the missing browser problem on an ATT 8700C? Does the missing browser prevent anything else from working?

Thanks,

Frank

[JSanders]

ftlee, fill us in on that issue... I am not aware of such an issue.

To get that browser, you must have a BB Data Plan with your carrier. Do you?

No answer yet. Certain sites like
mobile.blackberry.com
are not accessible without the blackberry browser.
However, there is provisioning for OTA downloads from the Cingular browser now (not due to 4.5)

[ftlee20723]

JSanders,

The Blackberry browser is missing after you upgrade to 4.5 on the 8700C. Yes, I have the data plan. The device works fine (both browsers) with 4.2 installed.

[John Clark]

I'm guessing you meant the "Internet Browser" is missing. You only have a "Blackberry Browser" if you are on BES.

[betterlate1]

Yes JC. Once again I learn more from you than my device manufacturer. The Internet Browser is missing. I did not even know until you told me this morning that the BB browser is different. Now two people here are chiming in confirming your info (where were they yesterday?)
8700C
AT&T
BIS
OS 4.5.0.52
