No legacy plan here. I buy too many audiobooks and it worked out that one of the other plans is less expensive overall. Having the book start playing after a phone call is sure annoying. Any news on a new update? Are they still working on this?

LOL The bad thing about this update, it's probably going to cost me more money! I got so tired of the phone issue, I had really cut back on listening to audible books. But now? If it works as it should, this could be dangerous! LOL

Now nothing is appearing on that screen and I only have an option to download or stream in My Library. I'm on BIS so the BES isn't an issue....

Do you think that 1.4.3 the end of the upgrades? We had a bit of excitement as Audible churned out a few upgrades one after the other, but it seems to have stopped. Is this the end for now? I sure would love to have readable numbers for the timer on the book and I would love to be able to see where I am in the whole book rather than just in the current section. Dan

There is a plugin for most BlackBerry devices with the exception of the Bold and Storm. I tried it both ways when I couldn't see the beta couldn't see the local audio books....

Spent 2 hours on the phone with Audible support. We fixed it, but what a pita... Deleted all files off the card and added them back on one by one. Can see all now.

I don't see any links for the Public Beta. Is that closed as well? I got an email from Audible support that release was eminent(sp).
