Firmware 4.3 works slower that 4.2 ?
Has anyone bee able to test the Pearl 8100 with the 4.3.1.4 firmware yet ? I got the firmware (nice but no killer features) and installed it on a test device but it seems a little slow when opening some applications (eg the media player). I was able to confirm that on a second device while a 8120 (Firmware 4.3.0.39) works fine.

I really was waiting for the 4.3 to install it on my private 8100 but now I´m not sure about that....

Looks as if RIM takes our bug reports seriously. I like that. (Reminds me of Kubuntu.)

Re: Firmware 4.3 works slower that 4.2 ?
The firmware works fine - the funny thing is that the slowdown that I was concerned about seems to have disappeard after a hard reset....

I can take some more screenshots of the 8100 4.3 firmware if anyone´s interested

Re: Firmware 4.3 works slower that 4.2 ?
~via BB (wap.pinstack.com)~ is it possible that rim will hold out on video for the 8100 since the pearl 2 just came out? Thinking that if we want video we will just have to buy the new pearl

sound like a likely scenario, i would be shocked if we ever have video capability on the 8100

Is there any way on this earth that you can provide this upgrade for us? www.sendbigfiles.com anonymously or something creative like that?

This would be awesome for everyone!!!

Re: Firmware 4.3 works slower that 4.2 ?
I've seen on another part of the forum that the 4.3 update will allow easy compatiablity with 6gb micro sdhc cards. If you can confirm that is more than enough to get the upgrade when it is available.

No sense to keep this quiet as it is HUGE!!! How will anyone know it was you to release this anonymously when there are several people who the upgrade was released to?


Well anyway I hope we get pleasantly surprised real soon with the 4.3 somehow.

Re: Firmware 4.3 works slower that 4.2 ?
I have 2 questions.

1: what does this new firmaware do aside from the 6GB micro SD?
Anything useful?

2: Not really related to this topic, but allot of posts have this in the beginning of the reply:
~via BB (wap.pinstack.com)~

What is the relevance?

Thanks.

Great questions and I hope we can experience it for ourselves to find out.
