Blackberry Desktop Software 6.1

[ALKi3]

Already announced a few days ago when this was unofficially launched I am releasing it to general public now.

This may compliment the recent release of 6.1 OS.

Awesome! It recognized that there was a 6.1 update for my Bold 9780 and asked if I wanted to upgrade! Installing now...

Thanks for this. Gonna give it a try and see how it works.

Thanks for the leak, two things, 1st, will this update work on the Sprint 9670 Style? and based on these upgrades coming now, do you think we'll see at least the Bold Touch coming out in late May?

Besides the "latest and greatest" effect, what makes DM 6.1 worthy the upgrade?

Any new features?

Will it back up my 9780's AutoText?

It should work with any bb, it's Desktop Manager not a phone OS.

I think its a good upgrade. Right now, there's more details when backuping or restoring your phone. You can also "Forget Device". Very useful if you help your friends to backup or restore their phone and do not want to see their device on the list.

I have downloaded 6.1 twice from two diff sources. I get an error every time I try to install it.

error 1720 windows installer package. A script required for this install could not be run.

About
Contained the info above about the Copyright date change and the Component Version changes.

Main bullet points:
- I tested this in conjunction with my Sprint BlackBerry Style 9670 with the latest leaked OS v6.0.0.522/Software v6.0 Bundle 2321
- BlackBerry Desktop Software upgraded to v6.1 went fine. Did not have to uninstall previous version, upgraded perfectly.
- Had to reboot system after installation.
- First start up had an initial settings screen pop up asking 4 things:
1. Start BlackBerry Desktop Software when a device is connected,
2. Automatically check for updates to BlackBerry Desktop Software,
3. Allow Bluetooth Connections,
4. and if your device is part of a BES server, it asks to synchronize certificates, and all these options are now in Tools > Desktop options...
- When I plugged BlackBerry in to USB, Windows 7 had to search and install BlackBerry drivers.
- On the Home Screen, the information bar that used to say "Device Software Version: v6.0.0.522" has changed it's info to "Software version: 6.0 Bundle 2321", or whatever your BB software version is respectively, so it changed from the technical device software version to the Bundle version you see when you go into Software Updates in your Device Options.
- Added 'Forget Device', so it doesn't have to save every device you connect to your computer.
- I believe that "Organizer sync log" was added to the "Support Resources" menu,
however it's grayed out for me.
- When I checked for updates through BlackBerry Desktop Software for both my device and the Desktop Software it said they were both up to date and there were no available updates. Which means there were no version bugs here! YAY!
- Added Drag & Drop Files like a Windows Explorer window.
- Everything loaded perfectly (Applications, Music, Pictures, etc.) for my device.
- It recognized that I didn't have Wireless Music Sync installed and it offered to "Update" (install) it onto my device. Install worked perfectly. Only thing that happened here, was when the Device rebooted after installation, the Desktop Software brought up the normal "Lost connection to Device" popup message but it also popped up the Search for Drivers Windows 7 message and ended up with the message "Could not find drivers for device" error but it didn't end up being a problem, it corrected itself once the device was finished booting up.

*Testing the Wi-Fi Sync Currently* (yes, i have no life, i literally went through everything i could to find differences for other people)
