The Desktop Manager software is the tool used to install the Handheld OS to the BlackBerry. You will need to select the other link for the actual OS file. Then you can follow the steps in the sticky thread at the top of the 8100 forum in order to install the OS to the BlackBerry: http://www.blackberryforums.com/gene...1-103-tmo.html

niik, make sure you are attempting to download from and to your PC, not from your BB.

If you are trying to upgrade your OS, download the new OS file to your computer. Click the file to extract it and to install it to your PC. Then open Desktop Manager and you should get a notice that you have upgrades to make.

Good luck.

Also, at the TMobile download site are detailed instructions to take you from downloading the software all the way to installing it and making everything work. You might give them a read.
