I'm assuming this still applies?

I have read the whole thread from start to finish.

Would this process seem a sensible step by step how to
1 Do a back up of my phone
2 upgrade Desktop and Device Manager to the latest ones.
3 download and install the OS as per JSander's post # 1 and follow those instructions
4 also follow the memory maximisation thread as per John Clarks thread.

sit back and try it out.

1. The upgrade process will do a backup automatically, in your step #3.

2. If you already have Desktop Manager version 4.2, Service Pack 2, or DM version 4.3, you are fine, no need to upgrade anything there. (The step to upgrade your Desktop Manager is written in the process because so many older BlackBerry users may still be using DM ver. 4.1 or below).

3. and 4. To do the "John Clark memory optimization", insert that in the process after downloading and installing the new OS to your PC... and before you plug your BB to the USB and open DM.

Good luck, it is not a complicated process as long as you follow the instructions as written. Post back here if you have questions.
