    thanks for the info
    .101 was actually not so good, with the broken video player lol@RIM
    will comment on the install within an hour

  • DavidB

    Well bilbo, .101 was far better than any previous 4.5 for the 8830! I see the java files in this .127 are from 12/19/08, so it would appear it took about 2 months to get through Bell’s acceptance testing. So I wonder if Verizon and Sprint and Telus will be close behind? Sprint just pushed out official 4.5′s for other phones so…

  • valita

    can this os 4.5.0.127 be used on the curve 8330

  • DavidB

    @valita:
    No. OS releases are model specific. Go to blackberry.com and get the Sprint 4.5.0.131 for the 8330 and use it.

  • McLovin50

    Has anyone tried this on a VZ 8830? Whether yes or no, are there any bugs?

  • DavidB

    Works on my VZW 8830 yes. No major hiccups so far though installing it was a trial. Check the thread at berryreview.com for my experiences (and others) and how I got it loaded.

    Successfully loaded this onto my Verizon 8830 last night following the process described at http://www.berryreview.com. No complaints — I did have to resend my Service Books to activate HTML mail.

    Thanks for posting the announcement!

  • Simon

    Loaded it on my 8830. Video player is still partially broken.
    Wathing video from CNN … it always said media type not supported if I hit “open”. But it will play the file if I save it to local memory before opening the file. Strange.

  • Joe

    Installed this on my Verizon BB 8830. No problems during the install. I did not get the prime feature that I was looking for – HTML processing of email. The help file says that there is an option under Email Settings labeled “Enable HTML Email” however it is NOT there. So my email is still in text mode. There was one super plus though – the GPS is unlocked. When I used the BB Map application, it put my BB at the correct place. There was one small glitch though – the icon for the Facebook application disappeared

  • DavidB

    @Joe:
    You have to log in to your BIS and resend service books. That is assuming your carrier supports HTML email by having the right BIS and the capability enabled. Old emails won’t magically upgrade their HTML, only newly received emails with HTML will have it.
