Has any one actually installed the upgrade. Mine did not work and then i called RIM and they said that it has not been officially released for the US. The version on the website is geared toward european carriers...

WTF!!!

I got my hands on one of the last beta versions of this a few months back. It installed on my Curve in about 30 min.

Things I noticed:

Improved look to the address book.

Improved browser, but still not a full HTML browser. Good to have Opera Mini for when you need it.

Video recorder. Yes I can make videos finally.

Voice recorder. Nifty, but not something I use.

Video streaming. It's true, a non 3G Curve is capable of watching YouTube. Sadly, the first thing I watched on it was Charlie the Unicorn. My friends are evil.

Any other changes have not affected my use of the phone, good or bad. My GPS still works just fine. Data seems about the same. BIS e-mail push still functions as it did. I don't have to reboot it ...

The new themes are nice too. Not as staunch as the 4.2 themes.

I still use the bPhone icon theme. I like the iPhone icons, very distinct and easy for me to recognize.

No. Just do a back up before you do the upgrade. If they aren't there when it reboots, then restore the files and you are good to go.

This is the general 4.5os that has been available for a while now. Its not the AT&T specific download. 😛

at&t doesn't have a v4.5 yet for curve or pearl but there are gsm carriers that offer it.

go to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader and delete the vendor.xml file.

connect to computer and launch desktop manager and make sure the desktop manager is v4.5 and you can get that from blackberry.

it should prompt you to update...

these sites have curve and pearl versions of 4.5, just go and click the drop down box to your phone model.

I have it on mine already. Its a little glitchy though. For instance, unlike some it does allow my telenav to work. However, I can't send outgoing emails. I've configured the service and receive emails just fine, but for some reason it won't let me reply. I figured the At&t 4.5 would solve that.

are you using bis or bes? also, i use gmail and got tired of the sent crap getting sent to my inbox. if your email provider allows forwards set up an @blackberry.att.net account and have your email forwarded there and then under the blackberry settings set it to send the reply from your address and no one will know you aren't sending from you email address...

They released it for the 8820 and 8320. I'm not sure if the 8320 will work on the 8310 or 8300... The rest should hopefully follow soon!

that link will not work with at&t phones. that's for sprint... you'd need a gsm carrier to use for v4.5

Let me repost it. I'm pretty sure I grabbed the 8320 link. The 8320 is an AT&T phone.

Select AT&T from the list at the lower half of the page. Models 8320 and 8820 both currently offer the 4.5.0.110. Others still list 4.2 & 4.3.

I don't work for AT&T Corp, but I only carry the 8310. I believe the 8320 is the T-Mobile version.

8320 is available for AT&T too. It was T-Mobile first though. AT&T released it about two months ago. We don't carry it in my location.

Actually I think you may be a bit confused.
AT&T offers the 8120 and the 8820, but no the 8320. That is currently only offered by T-Mobile.

Odd. I have dummies for it in my store. Either way, this is an AT&T release. Like I said when I posted the link. Go to AT&T on the list and its in there.

http://www.boygeniusreport.com/wp-content/uploads/at ... »

This is the launch info for it on AT&T. We got dummy phones and information it was going to be launched on AT&T. I'm probably wrong, but I was under the assumption that my Indirect Channel wasn't going to carry it.

Got an email today from Blackberry.com saying that updates were available for my 8310 Curve. Downloaded it, and it installed very easily! I now have 4.5 on my ATT Curve! Very nice - video capture now!!

You can back up your data so you don't lose contacts, appointments, memos, emails, etc. You will still have your themes on there as well as your images. You'll just have to take five-ten minutes to re-apply some changes. I'm not sure if it saves theme settings that you have changed or not.

im cool with all that. I can back up my contacts using the CD that came with my curve.

thanks so much for both of your input!
