The Sprint BlackBerry 8130 and 8330 make the official jump OS 4.5 today, apparently including MMS support. 4.5 was a big update, and included such goodies as:
* Refreshed Look – Enjoy messages, address book entries and a calendar that make better use of colors and fonts. They’re also laid out to more closely match the programs you use on your computer.
* Improved Email Layout (Rich HTML Email) – View tables, images and fonts with formatting that looks better than ever.1
* Remote Search – Find emails that are stored on a BlackBerry® Enterprise Server.
* Edit Microsoft® Word and Microsoft® PowerPoint® Files – Just download the attachments and start typing!
* Save Time as You Type – Word completion for SureType keyboards will monitor what you type and present a list of options to scroll through so you don’t have to type the whole word.
* Local Search – Enter a search term like ‘pizza’ to view a list of places to grab a slice within a 30-km radius.
* Improved Music Management – See all your music files, or filter them by artist, album or genre. You can even create and edit playlists.
* Free/Busy Lookup – View your colleagues’ calendars on your smartphone
Not a bad little update at all! Go ahead and download OS 4.5 for the Sprint BlackBerry 8130 and 8330 from RIM’s site to get started.
