I can say with certainty that is DOES address multi-select. That was the single biggest annoyance I had with .33.

These Betas are not carrier specific. You just ditch the vendor file from your PC and install away. It should work with Verizon, unless I'm missing something.

Noone here can post instructions/locations for you to find this. If you want it, you have to do a bit of leg work yourself.

boomboom87 · 07-10-2008, 10:35 AM

ok. can someone send it to me via email?

Sith_Apprentice · 07-10-2008, 10:37 AM

It is very unwise to post your email on a public forum. This OS is all over the web. I know announcements of it have hit my RSS reader several times today.

boomboom87 · 07-10-2008, 10:56 AM

You are right. I wasn't thinking - I'm sorry. Can you remove it?

Sith_Apprentice · 07-10-2008, 10:58 AM

Email has been removed

boomboom87 · 07-10-2008, 11:00 AM

Appreciate your help. Sorry for the bad request. At least I learned something today......

Sith_Apprentice · 07-10-2008, 11:01 AM

Not a problem at all.

Sorry for this post. I didn't link to anything. I thought this would be ok. The site I posted is not a hackers site. Its a reputable forum, as is blackberryforums.com

Again... sorry for the mistake.

The latest versions seems very stable. It has solved many known issues. Right off the bat the sms worked. The click for the scroll is back. The shift highlight works again as well. Also there is an option for upgrade wirelessly in the options. Although it doesnt work. Also noticed a lot more space. Hopefully fixed the memory leak. Only complaint is I have had to reinstall a different (newer version) of WLM. Also it made me downgrade Docs2Go.

Agreed on all counts (though my SMS was always working). Available memory on my 8830 has increased by about 3 MB after a battery pull, and I'm very appreciative of that considering how tight memory can get on these 64 MB devices (especially when there are memory leaks!!).

The DocsToGo downgrade was annoying (because of the need to reupgrade to 1.00.20 to get Excel compatibility), but at least it showed that the massive slowdown/unresponsiveness of the OS when downloading was cleaned up considerably.

Only time will tell if the memory leaks are mostly gone, and if the 1xev dropouts have been resolved.
