I asked him if I could upgrade the OS to something more current, but he's worried about a special "developer build" (since it came with the EScreen enabled) and said that if I found a way to back up every file on the BB (which I don't believe is possible) or if I proved that it wasn't a special dev build, I could upgrade the OS.

Since, in my 3 years or so of tinkering with BBs, I haven't found anything to entirely back up the OS, my question is: Is there a special developer build of 4.6 on the evaluation 8900s?
You're stuck. You will not be able to upgrade the OS past a specific build.
