@cathleen:
Sprint still hasn’t released 4.5? That sucks! But, yes, Verizon 8330 device software will work on ANY 8330 from ANY carrier. And yes you have to delete vendor.xml for any carrier except the source. So you can get ANY carrier OS that specifies 8330 and use it on your Sprint 8330 after deleting vendor.xml. The only time deleting is not required is if the OS you get is specified to be for your carrier.

And in case anyone is thinking to ask, NO, you can’t use 8330 software on any other Curve. Nor can you use 8300/8310/8320/8350 software on an 8330.

@Mossman,

Aha! You’re on a BES! Then you should talk to your IT admin. Usually new features/policies that come with OS updates are defaulted to ‘off’, so talk to the techies.

By: Mossman

Mossman — Fri, 19 Dec 2008 16:37:07 +0000

@ BlackBerry Cool, the only options I have under the spell check heading in message options are:
Ignore Case
Ignore Acronyms
Ignore Words With Numbers
Spell Check Email Before Sending
Minimum Sized Word To Check
Custom Dictionary

Again, I’m running OS 4.5.0.77 on a VZW Curve 8330.

Thanks again if you can help me reveal this “As You Type” spell-checking option. Could this be tied to some function or policy on my BES? I spell pretty well, but if there’s a feature I can have, I at least want the option!

Also,

I should have posted this a long time ago, but here’s a link to our OS Upgrade How-To, in case you’re clueless about what to do after you’ve downloaded the new OS.

@Mossman, are you still having issues with in-line spellcheck?

You should have a ‘Spellcheck’ heading under your ‘messages options’ menu. Make sure ‘Check spelling As you Type’ is selected.

I was able to fixed the screen/keyboard issue and white fonts. I redid the OS upgrade and left some files untouch like the semetic and europepean fonts. Seemed it did the trick!
Thanks so much for great guide!

Ever since upgrading, I am getting a “Mishandled Exception” error message that won’t go away, and I have to Reset my phone numerous times a day. Why?!?!

@Mossman:
I too have a Verizon Blackberry, though it’s a 8830 running 4.5.0.101. The only “predictive” text I’ve ever seen on a Blackberry is on Suretype models, so not sure what “inline” spell check would be either or how it evidences itself versus not being there.

By: Mossman

Mossman — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 16:00:58 +0000

Nan, maybe I’ve misunderstood the nature of the in-line spell check. I’m not so certain of how it should function now. What I have now will allow me to spell check on demand or every time I send an email. The in-line spellcheck should highlight misspelled words as they are typed in an active message, right? If the latter is the case, then I don’t have that and I’m running 4.5.0.77 on a Verizon Curve 8330. So do I have the right stuff, or am I somehow missing some functions? Thanks for any help.

Got my Sprint Curve 8830 upgraded to 4.5.0.97! Thanks Nan! But alas I must have done something as the font are white everywhere and hard to read. I followed John Clark’s procedure and I wondered if there was a file/s I should have not taken out? I can’t open the options/screen/keyboard to work. When I click on it nothing happened. Anyone know why or which file/s?

Thanks!
JP
