AT&T 8525 Firmware Available
The long awaited firmware update we told you about months ago, is finally here for the AT&T 8525. This ROM updates the phone to allow Push-To-Talk, Cingular Video, Blackberry Connect, and many bug fixes. It’s available as a free download, and takes about 25 minutes to install. As with any firmware upgrade, make sure to have constant power to the device, so you don’t brick the phone, and have everything backed up.
OMG WTF do they release this update the day AFTER I sell my 8525 because express mail REAKED EGGS!! With Blackberry Connect at least one of the primary functions of the PDA Phone would actually USEFUL!
I also owned this phone but returned it cause of the buggy release firmware.
There is no BB Connect software?
yo… i hope this update doesn’t shut off my wireless tethering capabilities
If you want BB Connect, you have to either
1) Call up at&t and for it. Or,
2) ask your BES Admin for it.
i called at&t and they said that bb connect is NOT available – something about it not working over 3G connections…
is there any way you KNOW of to get the bb connect WORKING?
thanks
@ eli: Even if it didn’t work on 3G, it should still fall back on the 2G (EDGE) network to deliver the email. Don’t hold me to this, but this is what I’ve been told numerous times…
how many gigabites or mb does this memory have?
