Instructions for installing on ANY carrier's 9700:

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.

Watching this one but very happy with .423 and it's excellent battery life. One charge every 3.5-4 days. It's also very stable for me. No sms or other bugs.

This release is from a Nawras, a gsm carrier in the Sultanate of Oman.

Does anyone know what advantages this OS offers?

And please tell me that it allows threaded sms to be disabled!

I don't think it has the asian languages? They come in handy for me as I have many asian freind on FB, Jivetalk etc and its nice to see the lang rather then a bunch of characters.

it's on the loading applications bit of the update for me, last update went horribly wrong through the mac, hoping its a better experiance on win 7, lol

Updating now...

.423 was good for the most part, but the browser slowed down a little bit from .421. Hopefully this .442 will help.
