Device Software package v4.5.0.52 for BB Pearl 8100

I have had a chance to play a little more with this upgrade and here are my other observations:

  1. Display for addresses, messages, notes, tasks, etc is now neater and cleaner.. use of round-edged boxes..
  2. 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..
  3. 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..
  4. Word recognition - better.. suggestions either populate the line or shown in a scrolling list..
  5. 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..
  6. Option to use either Lines or Stripes as separators for Address Book entries and Messages..
  7. 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..
  8. Options > Menu Style > Short or Long
  9. Need to run Google Updater to update all the Google products installed
    1. when running Gmail - Uncaught exception error: java.lang.NullPointerException
    2. Google Maps - does the Pearl have GPS? I was under the impression it didnt have a receiver hence unable to use Google Maps?
  10. The following applications have been tested and works find
    1. Viigo Crackberry
    2. MiuTunes
    3. FlipSide
    4. Worldmate Live
    5. Flickr
    6. Picasa
    7. Sudoku by magmic
    8. Google Talk
    9. Yahoo Messenger
    10. TwitterBerry

  4. Yes it does say
    Applications: 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?
