I've listed some betas I've found below Anyhow, once you've got it follow these simple steps



1. Download and install the latest version of [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] (unless you already got it)

2. Just in case anything happens...go ahead and backup everything on your phone at this time. Use Desktop Manager to do so

3. Install the new handheld OS you downloaded on your computer.

4. If you have an Operating System version that is not designed for your phone specifically (like a beta OS) than MAKE SURE TO DELETE the vendor.xml file located in c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader. Very important!

The rest is cake, plug in the BlackBerry with the usb cable, and fire up Desktop Manager. You should be prompted to upgrade, just follow the on-screen instructions


PS: Desktop Manager and your phone will work together to upgrade your phone. It takes a LONG TIME (like an hour) so go watch TV or watch the grass grow :yipi:



BlackBerry Betas/Unofficial/Almost Official Operating System Downloads

Make sure to download the version that is for YOUR phone model! Ex. 8310 OS is NOT for 8300!!!!
