The OTA update was supposed to fix the issue of allowing a file greater than 5mb to be attached to emails. After the update, I still can't attach a file greater than 5mb. Will this issue get corrected soon?
Can anyone from Verizon comment on when this issue will be corrected???
Here is a list of the Symptoms Resolved in the latest update:
i'm pretty sure the old size limit was 1.2 mb and that the update increased it TO 5 mb.
When the phone had 2.1, there was no limit to the attachments. When it was updated to 2.2, email attachments had a limit. The initial pdf of the update said the 5mb file restriction was resolved. I guess Verizon now changed the wording that the cap was created in this release. Why was this cap implemented? This really hampers the multimedia ability of this phone. I can no longer record a video and post directly to facebook via their upload email address.
Here is the wording from the update pdf file on Verizon's Support website: I made bold and enlarged the line about fixing the 5mb limit issue.

huh...i sure thought that 1.2 mb was the limit with version 2.1. anyhow....if your main reason is to upload dieos to fb then get QIK!!!! i never had much luck emailing video to fb (never knew if they got through, and if they had, how long it would take fb to post them) so i got the app QIK. it is BY FAR the most used and useful app i have on this thing. it immediately streams the video to fb (i'm talking seconds!!! as near to live streaming as it gets). you install QIK, set up an account on their site, and link it to fb. it seriously took me 5 minutes to do all of this and start posting video to fb immediately. i've been using it for 4 months and only had a couple problems. once, it was having trouble uploading to QIK and once it was uploading fine but then having trouble posting the upload to fb. in both cases i uninstalled and reinstalled (took about 1 minute) and it fixed the issue. GREAT app!
Any update on when this will get corrected and I can once again attach files greater than 5mb?
This is not actually an issue. Everything is working as designed after the MR release.
