Research In Motion (RIM) is constantly developing and testing new software and applications for your BlackBerry. Keeping up to date with the newest operating system (OS) software for your smartphone ensures that you have access to all the latest and greatest features and performance tweaks. With the official release of BlackBerry OS v4.5 on the horizon--various beta, or test, versions of the software are already bouncing around the Web--we thought this would be a great time for a BlackBerry OS tutorial.
What follows is our step-by-step guide on how to upgrade your BlackBerrys OS, or install a different version, as well as how to prepare beforehand to make the process run as smoothly as possible.
To start a new operating system install, youll need your BlackBerry, an Internet-connected PC, a USB cable and about an hour and half of free time--50 minutes or an hour for the upgrade process and 30 minutes or catch-up time afterwards. Mac users beware: RIM doesnt currently offer the BlackBerry Desktop Manager software for Apple computers; however, industrious Mac owners running Parallels and who have a copy of Windows have been able to upgrade their BlackBerrys via Macs, though the process can be a bit clumsy.
If youve got all the necessary tools listed above, the BlackBerry OS install process should be a breeze. Lets get started.
