    Official Software For BlackBerry� Curve (TM) 8900 smartphone
    From carrier A1 (Austria), this will load to any carrier's 8900 model.

    (Contains English)

    Package Version: 4.6.1.267
    Consisting of:

    * Applications: 4.6.1.168
    * Software Platform: 4.2.0.94
    * File name: 8900_4.6.1.168 .exe
    * File size: 120MB

    Download the OS here:
    Updateservice

    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.

    Thanks,

    Updated my 8900. YouTube works. No need for a hybrid. Feels snappier when browsing folders.

    Had a few exception errors after the update probably because of the theme I use. Made a battery pull after the update and no more errors.

    Can't comment about the battery life yet.

    Ok, so this is a good build , its faster than 152 seems snappier and browser is fast. had no problems with the install ,and no errors it was clean. Application space went up to 130.9, I noticed the signal strength is solid and my UMA rocks too this looks like a worth while try .. If your thinking about trying out a build give this one a go.
