Instructions for installing on ANY 8700 (regardless of carrier)

1. Download the above OS file to the PC then install it to the PC by running (double clicking) the file you downloaded.
2. Go to c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader and delete the file named "vendor.xml."
3. Plug in BB and double click on "Loader.exe." It's located in the same place as the above vendor.xml file.

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, for some reason, you end up with a white screen with small icons and the number 507, simply connect to the PC again and run Loader.exe again and it should load the OS to the device.

Still no browser icon with this official release. What gives? Did ATT not do any QC on this release after spending 8 months with the other phones? Very frustrating, seems like a giant please upgrade plea to me, upgrade with another carrier.

Make sure you have administrator privileges, and ensure you can see hidden files/folders. Do this by going into control panel, then double click folder options. Under the view tab there will be a list; go down it until you see two lines, one saying: Do not show hidden + system files, and another saying Show all files and folders. Click that and then ok.
