I am with MTS Mobility... The sales people at the MTS Connect Store Act as if the 4.5 version was never released by them and simply doesn't exist. I didn't get a warm feeling when I pointed it out to them yesterday... Very Creepy
If I had to guess, I would think it had something to do with their Data Plans as I am on their Exclusive Offer of $15 a month "Unlimited Email" Plan which was the bare minimum I could get away with and still have them even sell me a Blackberry. Otherwise you have to buy very high priced Data Plans starting at $25 CDN up to $65 CDN for 1 GB p/month with an overage of $1 per additional MB capped at maximum of $45 overage to give you unlimited usage (subject to customer’s use of the service being what we consider "normal use". Excessive use includes, without limitation, multimedia streaming, VOIP, or operating email, web, news, chart or similar services, etc.) all for a maximum of only $110 a month!
I can live with access to only email (3MB Video attachment Limit and 5MB Photo Attachment Limit per message) until the price drops... still waiting for affordable Data Plans up here in The Great White North.
My best guess is that the new 4.5 O/S would spike the Unlimited Email Data Usage as it offered HTML in email... and we couldn't have that now could we.
I could be wrong but who knows…
I do have a question for you though... Both of the BBforums threads advertise that the Virgin Mobile v4.5.0.82/4.5.0.56 and the newest offering through Cellular South being the v4.5.0.101 / 4.5.0.77 or v4.3.0.170/4.3.0.97 can be installed for any carrier, would they know I had this version unless I told them? Is there a possibility of carrier incompatibility?
