Verizon Updates 8830 OS To Version 4.2.2.196

All of you CDMA users realize that Verizon and Sprint are the last to receive any OS update love. So it was nice when one of our readers, Paul, dropped me a tip that they have update their OS on 5/30/2008. The new features in the latest OS are miniscule but still nice to see:

Verizon Wireless is pleased to announce new software enhancements for your BlackBerry® 8830 World Edition smartphone. The RIM® OS
v4.2.2.196 (Platform 3.0.0.84) update includes the latest feature improvements for your device.
To ensure the best possible user experience, Verizon Wireless and Research In Motion encourage you to download and install the free update now.

The latest OS update:
• Improves location-based services (LBS) and VZ NavigatorSM
performance.
• Provides support for 2 GB and 8 GB microSD cards.
Displays Chinese carrier names with Chinese characters when
connected to a GSM network.

• Makes upgrading software on the device quicker and easier.
To download the software update, please visit vzam.net/blackberry.

Thanks Paul!
