I have been reading about OS 4.3.1 for over a month now and have only come across one link on one forum, and it was dead. RIM (BlackBerry) told me that the only way I will see 4.3.1, or any other update is when my provider releases it, and they can not help me otherwise. I have seen the videos with the BB that has 4.3.1, but is it real, or did someone just decide to be funny and lead us on, to nothing…I, like many others really want the new OS for the Pearl so we can take advantage of all the new features, but does anyone know where we can get it, or when – FOR SURE?

Thanks
J

Well, it’s 2008 and still no ETA on the release of the update. I called TMobile 3 times today just to see if I could find anyone who knew anything about it and got nothing. They just told me to keep checking on the website’s software section, but that it could be anywhere from 30-60 days; this coming from the guy who hasnt even heard about the 4.3 update.

6gb cards kinda work on the blackberry curve, you need to format it a “special” way using SDFormatter and use a microsdhc reader and your computer to put files on it. Its a pain I hope 4.3 fixes it. The 4.3 desktop manager does not.

I know I know. Broken record.

But it would be nice to get a general time frame of when BB OS 4.3.1 will be out. Does anyone know? It’s OK. You can tell us. Just post anonymously. Or would that be ominously?

When will the update for the 8800 happen? All these are focused on the Curve and I’m wondering when I can get my hands on some update software.

…ok so we have to wait. By the end of the year right? BoyG, do we know any actual dates? Also will this be a mass update or will each Provider provide updates as they become avail? *did that make sence??* (I almost wish I didnt know the update was coming, now Im all anxious..LOL)

Does this conclusively work with microSD cards in the 6GB+ range? I know 8GB cards are dropping soon and I would like to know if the 6GB is read properly.

Can anyone shed some light on that?

@rosegold, good point and thanks for pointing it out. Kevin had not yet updated his post, but I will say that video recording should be available on all legacy OS 4.2.2 and below camera-enabled BlackBerry devices sans the Pearl 8100.

jibi is there any way to see how much memory is being taken? I mean 52mb on the 8320 isnt ok for a upgrade.

I think the 8100 doesn’t but the 8130 does video record…

The big question that isn’t answered is A2DP on the Pearl – yay or nay!?

By: Joe

Joe — Fri, 02 Nov 2007 16:20:06 +0000

Just to clarify, the Crackberry posting indicates that the Pearl won’t be able to record video. The wording above makes it sound like it would.

GoogleTalk IM handle fields were already added to my addressbook when I installed GoogleTalk 2.0. (Yahoo’s 2.0 probably does the same.)

I’m with Victor on the ‘mobi’ edition.

If what you say is true then that is a very very nice set of updates. Specially the DataViz and Video.

PS can you change the mobile version back, this having to hit a link to make a comment is getting really annoying. Why did you change it anyway?
