Does anyone know when AT&T will sign off on the latest OS for the 8310 Curve? I was hoping it would have happened already. If I get it from another carrier and remove the vendot file in order to get it to work on AT&T's network, will it do anything to void the phones or AT&T's warranty? I am a little hesitant,, to do so since this is my first smartphone of any kind.

You can install 4.5 for 8310 no matter what carrier releaes it. I have .81 on att 8310 with no problems. If you have to warranty you always want to downgrade back to att official os

None of the software comes from your carrier. It's all from RIM.

If you have an issue, you can always fallback to the latest carrier-approved version of the OS.

Do you have this on auto text or something? You make this comment on every thread related to OS upgrades. Do you have the literature to back this up? Nowhere on AT&Ts site or in their user manuals does it state that upgrading your OS to a none AT&T release will void your warranty, and considering AT&T retail CSRs have actually suggested upgrading to 4.5 to solve some problems it would not make sense that it voids the warranty. This is not to say that phone support will be able to help you solve problems since everything they say is based on a computer script that likely does not cover 4.5. Untill you can back up your statement with facts I would suggest you stop trying to scare users away from upgrading to the latest software.
