I successfully put 4.5 on my curve. Now I have a Doc to Go problem. When I edit a doc and try to save I get the message "not enough storage space to perform this action. Please free up some space and try again". I have very little on this device right now. What is the problem please? Thanks for all the good advice. I successfully put 4.5 on my curve.

It does not immediatly install on the handset device. After initial install you have to go back into the desktop manager 4.5, click on add software, then click on advanced and scroll down until you see Docs to go. click on the items to install and click ok to continue. Takes about 15 min to install. So here is the process for upgrade from 4.3 to 4.5 as I have found it: 1. Download and install Desktop 4.5 (available on bb site)(30 min) 2. Download Device 4.5.0.33 from link above (15 - 30) min. 3. Open executable file. (15 min) 4. Open Descktop 4.5. it will detect the os upgrade and start firmware install. this process took 1.5 hours. 5. Go back in to add software and add documents to go. (15 min) Total Time for firm ware update was approx. 3 hours. The only difference from the loaded BB OS 4.3 and prepackaged Apps paired with BBSmart HTML viewr that I had on my device was Docs to go.

I have only noticed 2 differences: 1. it says Version 4.5.0.33 in my about screen, and my blackberry browser is slower. Encrypted banking banking sights can take up to 15 to 20 min to load. If I use Opera Mini sights load lightening fast on my EVDO-Rev0 Connection. Biggest disappointment's was NO Documents 2 go. Does anybody know how to load the Docs 2 go?

For those of you having trouble the trick it to delete the vendor.xml file & restart your computer after you install the software, for some reason the BB manger won't reconize the avaliable upgrade until then. I noticed very few positive differences. HTML Email support doesn't seem to work. The OTA updates is a cool feature but since there aren't any available its not useful at this time. Here are a few problems I noticed: 1) Browser seems less stable, frequently hanging while loading a page. 2) Browser curser does not allow you to click on a link when it changes from the arrow to the pointing hand. (You have to press the enter key) 3) I can no longer highlight multiple emails/text with the shift key. 4) Wireless radio keeps getting stuck on "1X" svc and doesn't allow data transfer. (browser, VZ Nav, ect) 5) The sound for my ringing profiles doesn't work. Vibrate is fine. I am now in the process of downgrading back to the previous version because of these issues. luckily that is fairly simple. I installed 4.5 yesterday on my Verizon 8330.

HTML Viewer on 4.5 means nothing without BIS 2.5. I really like having the Docs to Go, and I also got the beta of RepliGo Reader... which is awesome. I have had very few problems running the OS 4.5.0.33... it seems equally fast and snappy. The only problem we noticed was one of Curves we installed it on had some problems filling out forms on the web... which has since corrected itself.

However there is no change on the device at all.

I'll wait until the final release is out there, or might just wind up getting a Thunder when it's available.
