Official OS 4.5 Available @ BlackBerry.com

Posted by Mauricio on Sep 23, 2008 at 10:36 PM | Comments

It is available…but according to BerryReview:

Looks like the Web Upgrade for OS 4.5 we mentioned before is limited by your PIN # and its association with your carrier. If your carrier does not officially support OS 4.5 then this is useless. In essence this Web Based option just helps people to upgrade their OS officially. Talk about a letdown…

…and what a let down it is. Check out the following helpful links also:

Check to see if you can get it by using your PIN and visiting www.BlackBerry.com/upgrades.

Posted by Mauricio on Sep 19, 2008 at 2:51 PM | Comments

BerryReview’s secret agents definitely know what they’re doing. They just scored links to these two betas for the BlackBerry Curve 8310 and the BlackBerry Bold 9000. There are two links for the Curve OS.

OS 4.6.0.150 for Bold 9000
OS 4.5.0.81 for Curve 8310 (A)
OS 4.5.0.81 for Curve 8310 (B)

Any other secret agents or ninjas out there have any more info on betas? Let me know!

PLEASE REMEMBER: Always make backups before making major changes/upgrades/downgrades to your BlackBerry.

BlackBerry OS 5.0?

Posted by Mauricio on Sep 19, 2008 at 9:47 AM | Comments

That’s what it looks like. BGR, always on top of things electronic, has some really nice screenshots taken from a Curve with BlackBerry OS 5.0.

According to BGR though, this OS is “underwhelming” compared to the Blackberry Bold OS.

Can anyone find a leaked version of this beta? If so let me know!

Read the whole article at BGR.
