BREAKING NEWS: First OFFICIAL 4.5 Release For 83 Series Devices


BREAKING NEWS: From the Holy Hell We Can't Believe It's Finally Happened Department, over on Pinstack, it's been noticed that the first OFFICIAL* version of the 4.5 Operating System has been released by Vodacom (Some carrier over in South Africa that we have never heard of either).

So, if you have been holding back for the "official" 4.5, you're now clear for take-off.

We do find it interesting though that this is 4.5.0.18, which in our opinion, had several bugs with it, however, the 4.5.0.37 (which has so far been the most stable 4.5 OS) is no where in sight.

:::Sigh:::

So, who knows. Any of your brave enough to test this official release?

We aren't moving off of .37 for anything that goes backwards in the number count, so we aren't going to be testing this at all...Just letting all of you out there know who either couldn't find, or didn't trust the BETA versions that it's now available.

This hopefully means that 4.5 for other devices will be sneaking out here shortly too!

*More than likely this OS is going to give you issues, so if you have above .18, stick with it in our opinions. Still wondering why .37 isn't on the partners zone though...hrmmm

I just installed it, and damn it took a long time. Vista doesn't play well with anything to do with my curve. All in all it is a great update. I can record video now (better quality would of been nice), voice notes, and blackberry maps. Not a problem yet, and hopefully they will release an official update so I can ditch .18
