Default 8900 OS: v4.6.1.133 (Multilanguage)

From Wind (EU) ; this will load on any carrier's 8900 device.

Software For BlackBerry® Curve (TM) 8900 smartphone
BlackBerry Handheld Software v4.6.1.217 (Multilanguage)

Package Version: 4.6.1.217
Consisting of:

* Applications: 4.6.1.133
* Software Platform: 4.2.0.85
* File name: 8900M_PBr4.6.1_rel217_PL4.2.0.85_A4.6.1.133_F100.e xe
* File size: 121.47MB

Download OS here:
https://www.blackberry.com/Downloads...AC29810B924ACA

Instructions for installing either version on ANY carrier's 8900:

1. Download the above OS file to the PC then install it to the PC by running (double clicking) the file you downloaded.
2. Go to c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader and delete the file named "vendor.xml."
3. Plug in BB and double click on "Loader.exe." It's located in the same place as the above vendor.xml file.

The process takes about 45 minutes to an hour depending on how much data you have to backup and restore during the process. Once it's done loading the new OS it will reboot (it may do this twice during the entire process.) You will see a white screen with an hourglass for up to 20 minutes at a time while the DM says "waiting for initialization."
If, for some reason, you end up with a white screen with small icons and the number 507, simply connect to the PC again and run Loader.exe again and it should load the OS to the device.

BlackBerry Curve 8900 / 4.6.1.133 / BIS (+BES over WiFi)

It is no longer a BETA OS and that is why it should be posted as a OFFICIAL release from WIND.

Thanks for the Information Din.

Upgrading!
And hope that this OS is better than the .114 Version. But the Beta Threads predict my hopes.

I post the Link for Din.

Is there any difference between this and the beta version of the same OS?

The biggest difference is that this is officially and you dont lost your warranty.

And compare a Beta with a Final is in my eyes pointless.

I would have thought they would fix the Word Mole problem in 133 before releasing the next official.

Edit: For those of you who have trouble with RIM's site, a mirror for this release can be found HERE.
