So I installed the new software for t-mobile about 1am this morning. So far I am very pleased with it. A biggest difference I've noticed has been with the t-mobile zen theme. The main screen looks fine but when you press the menu button instead of a list of applications it displays them as icons. Similiar to t-mobile uk zen theme.
Also. For those customers who have yahoo accounts- and it didn't display before-now you the icon for those mailboxes have the yahoo "Y!"
You definately don't have to worry about the ABC icon in the top right hand corner anymore unless you are trying to type in a field.
They really cleaned up the layout as well. New icons in your media folder (well they are sharper). New icon for the instant messenger. And easier/simplified menu options. Ex-when I went to move an icon I pressed the menu icon and I saw the following options. Move icon,hide icon,switch application. The full menu in the message option has been simplified as well. In the media player when playing a song with a long title the title will scroll across the screen. Also when you have your playlist up it shows you the song info as well as the length of the song.
One of the best things ever with this upgrade has been no answer delay. Its a beautiful thing.
Overall I feel this is a great piece of work. And I say this in the nicest way. T-mobile really made this software idiot proof. It's easy to operate and understand. I think part of that was done because of the free voice add on. That will allow you to utilize. Mms/tzones/instant and bb messenger/and not have to get a data plan or have "data connection refused" displayed across the top of the screen.

I've noticed the only negatives I'm noticing-yes-there is a negative-is that they make the keypad very sensitive and when typing if I type great to fast it spells out geeeat. (if you use multi-tap you'll see what I'm saying). Using suretype you don't have that issue.
Last but not least I noticed when I loaded this software to my device it didn't install any of my applications I downloaded OTA or through the desktop manager. So you may have to redownload those applications again.

Well those are mine anyone else care to share what they've noticed
 
Oh and ps-when using the browser they have two potions one called page overview and one called desktop view. When selecting desktop view your page changes and looks like a actually desktop computer screen and you have a cursor on screen and you can use your trackball to controll it to navigate directly to the links that you are looking for. Ygis makes it very easy to scroll through a page without taking a long time. Page overview let's you jump througoit different portions of the page you are viewing. Once again making it easy to navigate~via BB (wap.rabroad.com)~
 
thanks, i've been playing around witho this a little more came across something new, you can listen to music through your speaker or through your headset, so i'm wondering i haven't tried this out yet but maybe you can connect your bluetooth and choose handset and it will play through your bluetooth. haven't had a chance to try it yet, if anyone has let me know. thanks!



it is a great view! i'm glad you are enoying it!
 
Yeah I love using multi-tap but it definately isn't working correctly. I've already talked to t-mobile about this issue, we will see when there is a resolution. i'll keep everyone informed but since I've installed the software I haven't text, or emailed as much. I have been trying to use the suretype, and the multi tap.
 
Thanks. This was very helpful
I am new to the forum and noticed that the update cleared up minor issues that made me think it was an issue to my bb pearl.
 
Alright, im quite late about the software update.. I just went to the site and they pulled the link off. Someone told me that .103 have been having problems with AUDIO. So they pulled it out.. can anyone confirm this?

I still have .64 lol
 
yeah there were a few issues with it, i've heard more than just audio issues though. They are working on getting the glitches fixed so they still have the .64 up. There were some mms issues, and random power cycles, and multi tap issues, as well as the audio issues
