Oh for goodness sake. Handset borked during install yet again (I blame parallels). I'm trying to downgrade the OS, but I don't think it's able to connect. Is there a way to force the handset to receive instructions from the desktop without resetting and having to reinstall my apps for the zillionth time?

The screen right now is all text, and says Blackberry platform 2.7.0.78 across the top... and has a list of applications and things below...

(I got fed up and am resetting it, although I have realised that if you connect it to the desktop with the battery out, it goes straight for the rom, and ignores the possibly messed up OS...)
