This will be on my "to-do list" when I get home from work.

Not already or getting ready to or will download later. As I type this it is being downloaded onto my hardrive. I have nothing else to say other than that, which to most probably all means not a damn thing.

If I have .545 pre-official, do I want to get this one on my phone? Or can I stay put?

 
 
Posted by enotar Tuesday, Mar 16, 2010 695 days ago

do I have to update one more time if I installed the leaked 545 or it is not necessary?
any changes with the Vodafone one?

 
 
Posted by klubn Tuesday, Mar 16, 2010 695 days ago

Just stick with what you have - there's practically no difference between the leaked and the gold.

 
 
Posted by klubn Tuesday, Mar 16, 2010 695 days ago

There seems to be no love for those of us who wants the EastAsian pack… not since .442 anyway!

Not impressed…

Bring the # of thumbnails option backkkkkk, I'm staying put with .405 until RIM brings it back, why would I want just 4 thumbnails to show? That looks hideous, 4 thumbnails are huge, I have it at 5 and they look way better

 
 
Posted by gerard187 Tuesday, Mar 16, 2010 695 days ago

Yo .... Thumbnails of what?

 
 
Posted by pilot-leo Tuesday, Mar 16, 2010 695 days ago

Preferably MegaUpload or MediaFire?

Blackberry's website is too slow!!!

What is weird for me is the Mute key not working anymore;strange as the phone is design with this key.
how do you lock your phone now with what key; with 344 I was using A or Q (dont remember) but now it just lock the keyboard!

 
 
Posted by CatAlex Tuesday, Mar 16, 2010 695 days ago

Nice!

I've been on one of the leaked versions and it's excellent!

 
 
Posted by h9lfc Tuesday, Mar 16, 2010 695 days ago

I really appreciate the way that RIM has dumped the Storm 1 users after the release of Storm 2. This is the first and last time I will by a BB - the product is fine but the service and support sucks!!!!!!

 
 
Posted by acastro516 Tuesday, Mar 16, 2010 695 days ago

The carriers r the ones who decides when an os will be released rim gives carriers the os for them to test n then they decide when to release the leaks we have we aren't even suppose to have

 
 
Posted by trtgt99 Tuesday, Mar 16, 2010 695 days ago

I've got .442 from Zain Jordan and I'm happy with it. Is this a worthwhile upgrade?

 
 
Posted by joey1910 Tuesday, Mar 16, 2010 695 days ago

Same question except I have the 5.0.0.405 (just got my Bold about a week ago). Anyone with AT&T in the US have any problems downloading/installing this "official" version?

 
 
Posted by brindaarnold Tuesday, Mar 16, 2010 695 days ago

Installed .545 Saturday evening from .405. You will NOT be sorry!

Posted by dannymac77 Tuesday, Mar 16, 2010 695 days ago

is anybody (from US) having any luck d/l from bb.com?

 
 
Posted by 3G.BoldBerry Tuesday, Mar 16, 2010 695 days ago

any of you notice if you send a attachment file that when mail is sent theres no attachment in the leak i havent tried this official just yet.

 
 
Posted by Andy71600 Tuesday, Mar 16, 2010 695 days ago

Works for me

 
 
Posted by 3G.BoldBerry Tuesday, Mar 16, 2010 695 days ago

i got no problems at all.

 
 
Posted by PorkyChop4 Tuesday, Mar 16, 2010 695 days ago

I'm really sick of seeing all these official releases of the 5.0 for any phone BUT the tour 9630 for verizon. WTF?!?!

I just put the leaked version of .545 on my phone today. Oh well, I'll stick with this one unless someone says otherwise...

 
 
Posted by Crackleberry Fin Tuesday, Mar 16, 2010 695 days ago

The file size is smaller than the leaked one. I was having issues with java errors on the leaked .545. I backed everything up and did a wipe, reinstalled this version and restored...no more error. I'm berry happy!

 
 
Posted by DarylMS Tuesday, Mar 16, 2010 695 days ago

When does this update comes to Netherlands?

 
 
Posted by alpinechem Tuesday, Mar 16, 2010 695 days ago

I just installed it on my Telus 9700, i am happy with it, but i cannot still play youtube video. I've noticed the Browser is really fast on WIFI.

 
 
Posted by WilliamRupp Tuesday, Mar 16, 2010 695 days ago

i hate how you have to zoom on picture on the phone , otherwise they are pixelated

Last week I did download and install the unofficial leaked OS 5.0.0.545 onto my device. The only thing that irritated me is that my theme went crazy, but after installing this official version everything seems to be in order (now I just jinxed myself). Um, first impression is that everything loads much faster. I do like the new "lock/standby" button that RIM has introduced. I am not sure why they needed two to begin with, so I think this is a neat correction. The internet seems a lot faster as well.

Impressive new OS.

 
 
Posted by kraphts700 Tuesday, Mar 16, 2010 695 days ago

Does anyone have issues with Quicklaunch on the new OS? Just want to find out before I install.

 
 
Posted by Crackleberry Fin Tuesday, Mar 16, 2010 695 days ago

No issues for me!

i clicked on the download and lead me to the vodafone screen. when it asked what phone and to make sure that i have desktop 5.0.1. the 8330 did not appear in the list of phone. is this something that won't work. i have a 5.0 .438 already on my curve, but may upgrade if possible.

 
 
Posted by disappearingink Tuesday, Mar 16, 2010 695 days ago

this is for Bold 9700 only

What if I'm a ROGERS customer from canada.. will this work? do I follow the steps that "alpinechem" posted and just delete the VENDOR.XML" FILE?

thxs

 
 
Posted by alpinechem Tuesday, Mar 16, 2010 695 days ago

Yes ,its going to work for you. I am on Telus Canada, it working for me. Even my youtube video streaming.

 
 
Posted by ichbingeil1 Tuesday, Mar 16, 2010 695 days ago

Hello RIM folks,

You guys have done excellent job on this build but its quite disappointing to see that the auto-time-zone update doesnt work on this final build released by you. How could you miss that after such a marvelous job!!!! its so important for a person like me who is traveling every week 5 different countries with different time zones. in the older versions it used to work flawless but in this release i would term that to be a "BUG" not fixed.

Kindly fix this bug in your next release.

Thanks and well done job.

We will keep testing for you...lol thats how we call ourselves BB addicted.

Kaimera

The leaked version of 545 was OK and I just checked. If everyone says it works just as good, I'd recommend you download that instead of the official. (sounds strange even to me you know...)

 
 
Posted by jammis Tuesday, Mar 16, 2010 695 days ago

Downloading the file now. just installed the os to my desktop. wish me luck! TMO 9700 from 5.0.0.445

 
 
Posted by kraphts700 Tuesday, Mar 16, 2010 695 days ago

Just updated my 9700.....everything is running smooth as a gravy sandwich. Quicklaunch, all apps, browser seems to be quicker than John Wall and BES seems to be working fine although I did get an error about the address book updating. I'll have to check that out.

 
 
Posted by alpinechem Tuesday, Mar 16, 2010 695 days ago

wow this new release is awesome.
I just configure my Browser and youtube video is working now.
i did try both WIFI and 3G..awesome.
