How to upgrade your BlackBerry OS

To upgrade your BlackBerry to the latest OS version, you have to go to the provider-specific download page::
The most recent BlackBerry Desktop software is available here: http://www.blackberry.com/support/index.shtml
In most cases it is also possible to install an update from a different carrier (if they have the same BlackBerry model). This might be useful if your carrier does not provide the most recent version you need, or you want to have a special foreign charset. For example you can install the “Hong Kong CSL” version to have chinese character and input support (the Operation System is still in english).
To install a OS update from a different carrier you have to delete C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader\VENDOR.XML first.

BlackBerryInsight » Buying a BlackBerry Pearl in Hong Kong said,
January 25, 2007 @ 7:43 pm
[...] Because we all know the Pearl is available in Hong Kong for a while I thought that is easy. Wrong! Right, the BlackBerry page tells us there are 2 providers that have the Pearl in their stock. So there must be a shop (some of the fancy, small, not so serious looking shops that sell nearly every everything) which has the Pearl to sell. After some hours of looking around I found some of them and asked for the price. 2500 HK$ (~$320)! Wow! Great price, I want it! But, first of all, I saw that it is “T-Mobile” branded. So this device was not from Hong Kong. After some time of checking the manual and stuff … I figured out that it was an imported Pearl from the UK. 1 day and nearly thousand shops later I came back and wanted to buy the Pearl I have seen at the first shop. After 30 minutes of waiting they figured out they don’t have it on stock and I will have to wait for at least 2 days. No time no money … So I checked the next store and they had the Pearl available there but for 3200HK$ (~410$). Who cares, I bought it and it was the T-Mobile branded UK version. I though, no problem, upgrading the OS is easy… [...]

Hey guys,
I bought a blackberry 8310 from Vodafone Romania and I can’t update the software because the operator is not included in the list. Is there a way I can update my software (currently 4.2.2) to the latest 4.6?
Thanks,
Iulian
