Just got my Blackberry Torch this morning. Is there anything I need to do, such as change OS to .448? Uninstall Blackberry desktop manager from my old curve?

I tried to see if there was any guides on crackberry.com but I think it's aimed at American BB users.

Anh help appreciated.

Thanks

My guess is the new iPhone will probably have a new look (Possibly akin to that of the iPad 2) and that A5 chip. Maybe a little RAM upgrade, but I doubt it and possibly a 64gb version of the phone

tl;dr iPhone 5 will probably be iPhone 4S (Similar to iPhone 3G to iPhone 3GS upgrade they made previously)

no considering the capabilities of the iphone post-jailbreak including the bonuses like free apps etc
a lot of my friends who currently have blackberrys are planning to switch to the iphone when it comes out
only thing blackberry has an advantage over apple is BBM, but in the era where most service providers give unlimited free texts anyway.. doesn't really make a difference. there are tonnes of bbm-like apps on the appstore aswell.

well, it will definately be worth holding out for. depends if you can wait that long. (i'm ditching my iphone 4 the moment it comes out)

iphone will get a processor upgrade, dunno about the ram as it's 512 already. if anything it will be called 4G, as the 4G network upgrades are due to take place this summer. (that's why they didn't call this one 'iphone 4g' as apple deliberately ommited the 4g capabilities on their current phone.)

4G won't get rolled out in the UK til 2012/2013, this summer is some bullshit, they've hardly even started trialling it.

EDIT: In fact the auction for the spectrum for 4G isn't even til after this summer, looks like 2014 even before we get it.

AT&T began trials of LTE in 2010 and we plan to initially launch LTE commercially in mid-2011. [1]

AT&T has just inked deals with Alcatel-Lucent and Ericsson, who supply AT&T's 3G equipment, solidifying 2011 as the year of 4G. [2]

Verizon 4G LTE is available in 38 markets and 60 major airports covering approximately 110 million people by the end of the year. [3]

when the new iphone comes out, will the current price plans for the iphone 4 be lowered? don't want to sign up to a £35/month contract, only for it to be available on a £30/month contract a few months later.

also, any android experts? is the nexus s a decent option, or will some newer dual core phones be out in the next month or so?
