[JAM007]

Anyone heard / read if a date in March has been mentioned for the release of Whatsapp for BB10 ?

 

[Claymore]

Pretty much. OpenWhatsapp is out there already.

I have installed it this morning before 6am. Working perfectly.

Still can't find it, I get "No Results Found" on Blackberry World. Tried this link http://appworld.blackberry.com/webstore/content/2360/?countrycode=ZA and I get the older BB version.

I think it could be that I haven't updated my OS, waiting on Cell C...

Anybody else here on cell C?

Get a Vodacom Prepaid sim (dont need data on sim).
Insert in your Z10.
Update via Wifi with latest Vodacom Z10 Software (10.0.10.82)
Then put your Cell C back in and install Whatsapp (via BB App World)

Yes, that seems possible.

Get a Vodacom Prepaid sim (dont need data on sim).
Insert in your Z10.
Update via Wifi with latest Vodacom Z10 Software (10.0.10.82)
Then put your Cell C back in and install Whatsapp (via BB App World)

This works

Thanks MandM and JAM007, I'll try that out.

Cell C confirmed on their Facebook page that they don't support Whatsapp on the Z10 yet; and that the OS update is "being tested and should be made available next week".

What are you even doing on a Blackberry thread?

 

[MandM]

Haha, that's what happens when you go blackberry

What does Blackberry have to do with CellC being slow with testing? Please go troll somewhere else.

Clever.

A friend of mine has a Z10 with Cell C and is desperate for WhatsApp. I'm seeing him tonight and thinking of putting my MTN sim in his Z10 and updating over 3G. Does anyone have any idea what size the update is? Ballpark figure?

I found these on another thread:

Just received a 764MB update on MTN. Version 10.0.10.82 - what the hell is going on?

Eish that's a big update. Sounds like a full OS install size that.
Vodacoms update is 153MB.

 

[StNick]

OUCH! That's not small....

 

[JAM007]

As far as I know u Cannot Update via 3G, can only update via wifi.
