New leaked OS update for BlackBerry Storm 9530 and Curve 8900
Share:
 |
Owners of the BlackBerry Curve 8900 were treated to leaked OS version 4.6.1.199. The last firmware leaked was version 4.6.1.174 which we reported earlier this month. According to Curve users, the upgrade speeds up screen transitions, the GPS seems to lock on to the device faster, and volume was reported to be louder. A problem that the Curve has been having with text wrap has not been fixed.
As usual, we caution you that both the Storm and Curve upgrades are not official and downloading them on your phone can damage your handset and void your warranty. Hopefully, we will see Verizon and T-Mobile send out official versions soon. If you downloaded the leaked firmware, let us know about any changes-good or bad-you've noticed on your 'Berry.
In other BlackBerry news, RIM has upgraded the BIS to version 2.6 for third party email support. when configuring BIS, users now can display password characters making it easier to enter third party email address passwords. The upgrade now allows integration with Gmail IMAP email service and makes sure that sent messages don't appear as received messages.

Haha! Wow, what an idiot! Dude, if the Storm didn't need updates, it would have kept its 30-50% (in some markets) return rate trend it had when the phone was first released. Amazing ignorance man. Purely Amazing.

I have used .75, .90 (briefly), .99, .103, and now .113. What the reporter in the above story reports is true. Call quality is better, as is battery life. The accelerometer is smoother. I haven't tried the camera yet (don't really use it), but otherwise, I am happy with it. It is true that VZW is testing a '.113' version as the release candidate. Whether this is it or not, I don't know. Is it solid enough to be released into the wild? Quite possibly. The target date for MR2, is April, so we will see. Looks good folks!

I just dropped 109 to go with this one, crashed my phone in the process but now everything is great and this is the best build yet. camera is 10000000000 times faster in taking shots and switching into mode, accelormeter is vastly imporved and it is just showing everyone how beastly this device truly is. now bring the app store. bb storm ftw.

At what point does RIM/VZW consider that any version is better than .75 and cut one of these upgrades loose? I can't afford to risk these unofficial upgrades, but I am ready to scream with this accelerometer stickiness, text message retypes, and slow performance. It has been 3 months and Niagra is being discussed.
