Released a couple of weeks ago, I had the 1.5.4.2 ROM or something and this upgrades the handset to 2.4 something.

Also upgrades the "radio" as well, ensuring better call quality!

Nice and easy, simple step by step instructions, and device does seem faster and have a few more things.

If you do upgrade, remember to do a soft reset when you get the message "Customisation in 3 seconds...."

come again

did a upgrade the other day bit faster and hasnt frozen and files that didnt used to open now work fine

Jim Galbally

direct push works like blackberry, you get an email, and it gets sent straight to your handheld.

but if youre not running a corporate email system that supports direct push then you cant really use it

Fil

I guess hotmails no good then?

Jim Galbally

no.

you'll want either Blackberry Enterprise Server or Exchange 2003

i have tom tom software on it and games ect, will it erase these by upgrading?

Jim Galbally

yes it will

Fil

yep will erase as jim says, but you can if you have a big enough memory card back it all up on it, then reinstall everything as it was after

come on people need to know how to get the o2 crap of it

Jim Galbally

when it boots up and says PERSONAL or CORPORATE enter corporate and the code 0506

it will then NOT install the O2 crap

Stu.H

JIM, why not COMPLETELY bypass the crap and when it says
"customising in 3....2.....1......."

DO A SOFT RESET!
