Anyone have some balls?
Davinci seems to have the 902 firmware available for flashing on the 850 as "test" firmware. I have been thinking about giving it a shot as the hardware is near identical so it seems likely it would be like a 750 to 800 upgrade. |

im 100% sure you can flash it on the phone, im not 100% sure the phone will work with the firmware however.
I am thinking it might be just like the simple 750 to 800 that every 750 user did which was fantastic. I am honestly thinking about the flash but worried of bricking the phone

Not free from davinci
Frozen I am excited to see how this turns out, I too am sitting here on the flash screen deciding to go through with it or not. As long as it doesn't brick everything should be golden, but the brick thought is scary |

Seems like someone on HowardForums claims the battery life is a lot better on the ROGERS R1FA035. We'll see about the generic release! |

The guy who commented was running the 31 release not the 37 release so thats why the battery was crap. The battery is the same as RE37 to the new rogers release. |

I think they should at least be offering it at a discounted price considering they are using their customers as testers. |

Not available on SEUS, most likely will be quite a while behind davinci. |

DAMMIT, thats not the answer I was hoping for. What is the exact error? Is it the file size mismatch error? |
