BlackBerry OS 4.5 Now Available for CDMA BlackBerry Pearl and BlackBerry Curve

August 11, 2008 by Robb Dunewood 7 Comments

Finally, a public release of BlackBerry OS is available for CDMA BlackBerry Pearl 8130 and BlackBerry Curve 8330 users. The downloads are from MTS Mobility, however, they will work on any 8130 or 8330.

I do want to warn you up front that the installation will take you about an hour or so and you may have to delete the vendor.xml file to get the install to run on your device, so, make sure you have time to go through this before you start.

You can find complete download and installation instructions over on BlackBerryForums in the Blackberry 8100 forum or BlackBerry 8330 forum depending on which device you use. Sorry BlackBerry 8703 and BlackBerry 8830 users… This update won’t work on your device, however, we hope that updates for you will become available in the not too distant future.

    Does it include the dataviz package? It’s going to be bundled for free with the Bold. Would be sweet if it is…

    I’ll try it when I get home. The last “unofficial” release I tried failed to install – didn’t brick my Pearl though (thank God).

    @Ant: are you VZW or Sprint

    To answer Bluehorseshoe’s question, the answer is Yes! BlackBerry Device Software OS 4.5 does include Documents To Go Standard Edition. The mobile office solution will enable you to view and edit Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint files. DataViz is offering an upgrade to a Premium solution which enables users to create these files as well as spell check, insert and delete slides, tables, hyperlinks and many other advanced editing features. You can activate a free 30 day trial of the Premium from your free Standard edition once you install OS 4.5. In addition Documents To Go Standard will also be included with the Bold.
