Has anyone tried the CDMA 4.5 OS?

[twistedbydezign]

Yeah it was not checked I am now installing it from the app loader. Anyone else having problems with youtube?

Any streaming still doesn't work.

I ran it for a day or so. My txting wouldn't work, every one i sent I got the red X saying "general problems". Otherwise the OS was nice

thats one of the issues i heard about that makes me not want to install it... kind of pointless if the txting doesn't work properly right now.....lol

After reading in this thread about SMS not working, I can confirm mine doesn't work for outgoing. I almost never send SMS so it took a couple days to realize that - but incoming works fine.

Just tested my 8830 SMS works great on 4.5.0.33

Nezr - what did you encounter that made it quite buggy?

I couldn't click the download link for facebook, I coulnt send any sms, also I couldn't highlight multiple email/sms to delete them. I had to delete each msg one by one

It seems the 8830 will txt fine, the 8330 on the other hand its rare to find someone that can get that to work.

well that could explain why os4.5 is not released yet lol

Oddly enough, this isn't just because of 4.5 - and it happens sometimes even if you use Opera. Workaround is very easy - I posted it earlier in this thread.

I can see how SMS is a dealbreaker, though.

Given all the problems I'm seeing that ppl had with 4.5, I think I'll wait until the official release and upgrade when Telus updates their system to 2.5. After all, my BB is working perfectly right now and I wouldn't want to mess with that.

The only feature I'm really interested in is HTML email so it would be better for me to wait until Telus upgrades their system anyway.

Where do you download docs to go?

should come with 4.5...if you don't see it in your phone then maybe that leaked version doesn't have it.

It doesn't load by default. You need to select it.

Yep. No problems with SMS on my Bell 8830 and 4.5.

4.5 was really buggy, long load times, periodic timeouts. though my sms worked fine.

now on 4.6 (yes. four point six) and it's blazingly quick - youtube streaming doesn't work still though, new browser looks good though.

This has probably been answered somewhere but...

I'm waiting on getting a curve. I was waiting for 2 things before jumping onboard.

1 - 4.5 as from what I read it fixes a few things and having the ability to edit documents would be handy. Also MSN messenger would be handy.

2 - July 11 to see if Telus drops price of the device or data plans to compete with the Iphone.

Does anyone believe it's worth it to wait?, does anyone think Telus will adjust anything to counter the IPhone?. Also, does anyone really know when 4.5 comes out. Above 4.6 is now mentioned. I would prefer to not to have to upgrade the device after, as I would not be comfortable with that with a new Blackberry.

Just wondering.. waiting is kinda driving me nuts.

That's the only one I seem to be able to find. I'll try loading it on my 8830 later tonight. Looking forward to DocsToGo and a better browser. Would be interested in the new Media Player if stereo BT were supported.

Stereo BT is already enabled on the 8830 - I'm using Motorola S9's paired to the 8830 and get full stereo and controls.
