Juan just let me know that Orange Romania released OS 4.5.0.52 for their line of BlackBerrys including the 8700. This is the first OS 4.5 OFFICIAL release that I have seen for the 8700. The newer 8000 GSM series devices have been getting all the love. Nice find Juan!
Orange Romania also released OS 4.5.0.52 for their 8100, 8120, 8320, 8800, & 8820 devices if you were looking for it.
Check it out at this link:

So is there any word on Verizon release or am I able to use this to upgrade my 8130?

This OS works fine on my Swiss Orange 8700v.
It now does html-emails properly and has the OTA update integrated.. the future’s bright π

Holy smokes. Talk about major culture shock going from 4.1.0.309 to 4.5.0.52!
Oh, and Rach, no you can’t use this on your Verizon 8130. The releases on the linked web site are for GSM devices used in Europe. While they SHOULD work fine on USA GSM devices (8120, 8320, 8820), no way they will work on any CDMA device (8x3x).
