used 8800 for rogers wireless

[raynicolini]

Hi I just picked up a used bb 8800 for rogers, and I am wondering what desktop version can I use on iy for the rogers network and what handheld version can I upgrade to.

Currently it has v.4.2.1.101

thank you in advance

You can upgrade to this: http://www.blackberryforums.com/general-8800-series-discussion/151873-latest-os-8800-4-5-0-108-4-5-0-81-english-east-asian-languages.html

And use up to and including DM 4.7.

No, AFAIK, BB Messenger Requires a data plan -- although I have heard that SOMETIMES an email-only plan allows BB Messenger although I think that loophole may now be closed.

the 15 dollar unlimited email plan will allow BBM, but no browsing
