The 8800 is getting a bit long in the tooth but this is the latest official update I have seen for it in AGES. Mauricio from BBRocks spotted this new OS 4.5.0.140 on the TIM Italy download page. If you want to install it on a different carrier don’t forget to Go to c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader and delete the file named vendor.xml.

Yes, im owner of 8800 and im verry happy using this BB.
The new OS is available from couple days (weeks?) And for me isnt worth install, no any new changes. The only thing which is new, is the release number.
