I'm starting to think there is no OTA upgrade. I just read on a T-Mobile forum that you need to connect to your computer for the upgrade.

Can anyone confirm these upgrades to their 8900. Are the upgrades noticeable?

Love the double bb button! Seems really smooth and fast! Don't notice a big difference on battery life though but I'm keeping it!

I went with the Rogers .250 stable update. Tmo and ATT will hopefully get on the ball soon :-D. This is a step in the right direction though, I will say that.

Also...are the entries there when you open up your calendar?

When I attempt to upgrade the OS using the application loader, it recognizes the .231. When I select it and click next, In the "Update Summary" pane, it says "No software update is required for your device". I have also tried updating via Blackberry.com in browser loader. It says my device software is up to date. My current version is 4.6.1.133. I have tried using DM 5.0 and 4.7.
