    How do you mean install the Orange settings? Do you mean the Orange OS (Operating system)? To install the Orange OS you would need to remove the vendor.xml file first from the download.

    But you do not have to have the Orange OS.

    Do you have an ACTIVE blackberry tariff from Orange?

    Ok

    When your blackbaerry tariff is activated you will receive a browser and a registration message so you will then be ready to set up and go.

    As for the OS you must ensure the one you download is for the 8310 and not any other model.

    https://www.blackberry.com/Downloads/browseSoftware.do

    4.5.0.81 is the latest for the 8310


    To remove the vendor.xmil file click start and then run from your PC and type in c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader then hit return or select ok. In the box that pops up scroll down and then highlighted and delete the vendor.xml file. Whilst in here you can double click on the loader.exe file and this will install the OS for you no need to use the Desktop Manager,but if you prefer after deleting the vendor.xml file you can then exit and use the DM.

    Hope that helps.
