* Applications: 4.3.0.97
* Software Platform: 3.1.0.51

Select Blackberry 8130 from the dropdown and click Next. Then click the "Download" link that appears at the bottom of the page.

Instructions for installing on any CDMA 8130 from any carrier:

1. Make sure you have the latest version of Desktop Manager installed. It's 4.2 SP2, or Version 4.3, and can be downloaded Click Here. or from the AllTel site linked above.
2. Download the above file to the PC then install it to the PC by running the file you downloaded.
3. Locate the vendor.xml file and delete it. It's located in c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader
4. Plug in BB and Open Desktop Manager. You should be prompted to upgrade.

The process takes about 45 minutes to an hour depending on how much data you have to backup and restore during the process. Once it's done loading the new OS it will reboot (it may do this twice during the entire process.) You will see a white screen with an hourglass for up to 20 minutes at a time while the DM says "waiting for initialization."

If you end up with a white screen with small icons and the number 507, simply connect to DM again and run application loader again and it should load the OS to the device.

Previous version OS is located here.

So, I decided to download the Verizon version. I unistalled this one from my computer, downloaded verizon's, deleted the vendor file and plugged in. It brought up the pop up screen to update, and I clicked update. But the it says nothing new to add. I can't get this to downgrade for the life of me. It just never gives that option. Anyone have any other ideas? I did the unintstall off my computer like it says somewhere in a post, but it still won't downgrade my phone. Thanks in advance for any help.

The browser's that the website are most compatible with are listed as * Microsoft Internet Explorer Version 5.5 or higher * Netscape Version 7.0 or higher * AOL 9.0 or higher
* Safari (included with Mac OSX operating system)

Your computer vendor or Internet Service Provider should provide the ability to get these browsers at their respective websites. Note: If you're using an older Macintosh with OS 8 or OS 9, your best bet is to try Netscape 7.0. If I post the instructions they give on this site for the way to set your browser, is there anyone out there up for the challenge of helping me figure out if the BB browser is configuarble to journal on this web site? I would really appreciate some help and I do not know where to go to get it. I am going to copy and paste the instructions for anyone up to the challenge.... also, i have installed Ramble on my BB and that runs great, and can get around on the web pretty well. I can get to the journaling site on Caring Bridge but when I put in an entry it will not "take" to the site. Thank you anyone who is technically into looking into this challenge for/with me. I REALLY appreciate it! Here is what the web site for CB says to do for settings....

Go to options: Advanced Options: Host Routing Table, then hit menu key and Register Now. After the message window comes up, close out and remove battery for 5 seconds then replace.

Once back on, dial #832 and voice should tell you registered sucsessfully. Hit end and then dial #228 and select option 1. After complete power off phone and power back on. Should work.
