    Explain what you mean
    wireless update?
    I had no problem with it in fact i wirelessly updated while i was on the road you shouldnt have problems after your divice downloads the OS the instalation itself may take up to 2 hours though

    My current model is:

    BlackBerry� 8330m
    smartphone (CDMA)
    v4.5.0.131 (Platform 3.4.0.25)


    And theres os 4.5.0.175 out there and it is available via wireless update on my phone. But i've been reading posts about loss of contacts, etc. So I was wondering If I should back up data beforehand? And really 2 hours? Was the phone in-operable during this time?

    First of all
    backing up is always a good idea
    I back up with both DM and BBsak
    During the update the phone is literally
    INOPERABLE
    you cant to anything with it other than entertain yourself by watching the screen
    do it at night while you dont need it or something
    if you update on computer its the same thing btw
    about 30 minutes to input then an hour to install
    i didnt lose anything but just to be cautious maybe you should

    A third party blackberry backup program
    i think only for PC though
    its a little more secure than Desktop Manager i think

    Oh ok thanks my destop manager is currently on version 4.3 im downloding 5.0 then I will backup the device and attempt to update the O.S. Later seeing as how it would render my phone a paperweight for X amount of time lol...Thanks for the info!!

    When I've upgraded my OS it's never taken over 30 minutes to completely finish, that's from hooking it up to DM, not OTA. Never tried it OTA

    For some reason or another the Desktop manager will not update to Ver 5.0. Anyone else have this problem?
