NOTICE:

I have cleaned up almost 100 useless posts from this thread. This thread is ONLY for reference on what is the latest OS released (by any carrier) for a given device.

Please do not use this thread for questions like, "How do I install this update?" or "Where do I get the link?" or "Why did my upgrade go bad?" etc. etc.....

Please only post in this thread if there is a newer OS version that you'd like Jungleland to update his post with.

Again, this thread is a reference thread only. No questions. If you have a question please see the stickies in the appropriate forum for your device. There is usually ALWAYS a sticky for the latest OS for each device. That's a good place to post your question about how to update or if you have problems.

Any questions/posts that are not relevant to simply keeping the first post up to date will be DELETED.

Thank you

I live in the usa and have tmobile. What is the login to the uk tmobile web - Blackberry site so that i can download the lastest blackberry 8700g os and install it on my blackberry? I can only download from the tmobile usa web site and that is not the lastest this web site says.

At the site you linked above, click on "Free Download Area." You don't need to login.

Is it possible to downgrade?

MASSIVE UPDATE




Every 8xxx series received an update. and a few others.

Huh?

what's the problem?

well I don't see it there? hmmm...I knew I shouldn't have smoked that c... last night. Will check again.

What? The updates are in the First post on this thread

So what is different from before. Same os...no 4.3/4.5...

I don't think it's possible for you to have been more vague...

I guess what I meant is taht it might be massive but also just minor difference in OS versions. Looking forward to see see major OS listed(4.3 or up) rather then same old....

Massive did not refer to the upgrades contained within the OS updates, it referred to the volume of OS updates.

Verizon 8703e Maintenance Release (4.2.1 Release 195) on vzw.smithmicro.com/blackberry - RIM OSv4.2.1.110 (Platform 2.3.0.24) update includes the latest feature improvements for your device. This release resolves an issue that caused devices to reset in insolated instances under certain network conditions.

I had that listed already...

Thank you though.
