    Its an OTA (over the air) file. All you need to do is click the link and click download and it will install

    I can't get it to install.

    I tried the OTA link and while dowloading it asks to replace 2 files with the newer ones and about 90% in it says download cancelled.

    Any ideas?

    download it first.. then extract the file to your computer. plug in your USB to your phone and computer.. Then run desktop manager.. go to application loader and go to add/remove.. click start... next click browse, select file that you downloaded and then it does the rest.. supposedley..
