It seems to be a busy day in-terms of BlackBerry handset OS releases, earlier today we reported that OS 4.7.0.167 for the BlackBerry Storm 9530 has been released, we are now hearing that OS 4.5.0.175 has been released for BlackBerry Curve 8330 and 8330m handsets.
As with the other release mentioned earlier no official change-log has been posted, therefore until we hear more we will assume that most changes to the OS are to rectify bugs.
Currently Sprint are the only carrier offering the OS update, it can be located here, as with any update like this we recommend backing up all your personal data and ensuring you have adequate battery life, also if you are updating a handset which is not on Sprint’s network follow IntoMobile’s advice here.
Have you installed the update? What changes have you noticed so far?

I did this via wireless update and it wiped out my complete address book. Seriously backup your data before you attempt this update.
Just downloaded last night. It warned me it would take up to 2 hours and it took a little over 1 hour. I didn’t back up my date like I should have but everything saved automatically for me, except my log-in for facebook.(isn’t a big deal) After the update it took me through the “setup wizard” again and so far has only noticed people in my contacts (who are friends on facebook) now have their company name attached. Even my theme / background image stayed. Maybe it’s just what I want to believe, but the apps seem to open & run a bit faster then they used to. If I see anything else after more investigating, I’ll re-post..
I was prompted today for the update, downloaded and installed in 1 hour. No noticeable changes just yet and no loss of saved data. Hopefully someone will figure out the purpose and pass it on. Hook em.
I did the update as well and it wiped out all my contacts. Back up your phone!!
After reading these post I started thinking Idownloaded the wrong thing. The full download took 10 mins and the update took 30 mins. I haven’t seen anything new.
