BlackBerry OS 4.5 Coming To The Verizon 8830

March 30, 2009 by Robb Dunewood 5 Comments

Verizon BlackBerry 8830According to Engadget Mobile, BlackBerry OS 4.5 is on the way for the Verizon BlackBerry 8830.  We aren’t quite sure why it took so long for Verizon to release 4.5 for their branded version of the 8830.  It’s been out for the Sprint BlackBerry 8830 for over a month.

    “We aren’t quite sure why it took so long for Verizon to release 4.5 for their branded version of the 8830. It’s been out for the Sprint BlackBerry 8830 for over a month.”

    Give them a break? It takes time for verizon to sanitize and verizonize firmware, all those un-allowed applications and functions need to be crippled and removed aka verizoned. This is yet just another example of why RIM should handle it’s own hardware and software and not allow the service providers to be involved.

    Verizon had 4.5 for the Pearl and Curve out before Sprint, AT&T, TMO…the bigger selling phones. Also, RIM does handle the software and hardware. VZW then tests and tweeks it.

    RIM is more than capable of dealing with maintaining hardware and software on their devices without verizon’s “tweeks” aka removing and crippling, aka getting the firmware verizoned.

    There is no need for verizon “tweeks”. It just might be these “tweeks” which doomed the Storm, and not to mention a handful more of verizon branded RIM’s BB’s which magically no longer have app’s and functions that other BB’s do.
