Default t-mobile 9900 on Rogers

Ok, so here's a question for someone with more BB knowledge than me. I have an unlocked T-mobile Bold 9900 on Rogers. How do I update the OS version?

Second question, when the 9900 gets the update for UMA, will I be able to use that feature?

for updating the OS unless it's a tmobile os you will need to delete the vendor file, and for UMA i'm pretty sure it would work but first you would need to download something first (i forget the name, but something like service books)

That's right. So, because of that I went and bought a Rogers version and switched to get HSPA+. What a difference! I'm going to sell the T-mo 9900 on eBay. It's unlocked and was only used for two days so I should get a good price. Even has the plastic on the screen.

Default Unlocked Blackberry 9900 t-mobile on Canadian carrier

Your Blackberry Bold 9900 branded to t-mobile and unlocked, right? it will also work fine on Wind, Mobilicity, so you can sell it faster and for a good price.

Or if targeting the US market your unlocked Bold 9900 will also work on cincinnati bell and not only t-mobile..

But yes, with Rogers and Bell you need the At&t version to get more then 2G.
