I have had a chance to play a little more with this upgrade and here are my other observations:
- Display for addresses, messages, notes, tasks, etc is now neater and cleaner.. use of round-edged boxes..
- Address Book entries are displayed.. different contact items are separated by round-edged boxes, e.g. Name, Company, Position & Pic 1st box, phone number next box, home and work address separate in their own boxes, etc..
- Calendar (not sure if this is same or different from before) - each email address has its own calendar and can set a colour for appointment each.. however each calendar Wireless Synchronization option is set to NO and cannot be changed..
- Word recognition - better.. suggestions either populate the line or shown in a scrolling list..
- Web browsing is easier.. the mouse acts like it does on a computer.. font is easier to read.. upon start-up, first page lists bookmarks and recent items just beneath it..
- Option to use either Lines or Stripes as separators for Address Book entries and Messages..
- LED Coverage Indicator when OFF would keep the RED light ON ALWAYS and starts blinking when a message has arrived.. when ON the light turns green and blinking..
- Options > Menu Style > Short or Long
- Need to run Google Updater to update all the Google products installed
- when running Gmail - Uncaught exception error: java.lang.NullPointerException
- Google Maps - does the Pearl have GPS? I was under the impression it didnt have a receiver hence unable to use Google Maps?
- The following applications have been tested and works find
- Viigo Crackberry
- MiuTunes
- FlipSide
- Worldmate Live
- Flickr
- Picasa
- Sudoku by magmic
- Google Talk
- Yahoo Messenger
- TwitterBerry

Do you mean .42 version NOT version .52???
ReplyDeleteHi Bob,
ReplyDeleteWell the spec on the Vodafone Germany site is:
Package Version: 4.5.0.52;
Applications: 4.5.0.37
Software Platform: 2.7.0.55
File size: 81MB
I guess its the package version that is .52?
I this for the Pearl and how would I go about getting it?
ReplyDeleteWould you mind helping me? :)
I looked here: http://www.vodafone.de/hilfe-support/blackberry/112019_131164.html
ReplyDeleteAnd it shows it's version .37
Yes it does say
ReplyDeleteApplications: 4.5.0.37
Looks like this is an official release: http://www.berryreview.com/2008/06/13/os-45037-official-releases-for-8100-8110-8310-8800/
I guess if you have .42 it is more recent than this one?
