    Hey Everyone,

    I just received a Software Update Notification. Before I run it I wanted to get your thoughts. To upgrade or not?

    I was checking my task bar and there was a new symbol with an asterisk on it. I clicked it and it took me to the wireless update area.

    Did it take you too app world, or wireless update if it took you to the wireless update I would say do it and let us know what it updated you to.

    It took me to wireless update, since I originally posted this I tried the wireless update and all I got was a "no update available". Now I'm sitting here just wondering why the asterisk and why did it route me to "wireless update" when there is nothing new there!

    Did you go into your "joint" Messages? For example, an App World update will have a message there and say what App it's for.

    What exactly did your message say, please?

    There was no message, there was an Icon which I had never seen before with an asterisk as if there was something new to see. Once I clicked on it, it took me to "wireless update" yet there is no new update available. Oh well, maybe a false alarm or a test from VZW?
    By the way for elite1, I'm with Verizon.

    Could be a glitch or false update. It happens sometimes. Could also mean of the apps pushed to our device was updated. Check the version numbers.

    I think what he's talking about may be Blackberry DM has an update. I got that the other night, even though i have the latest 5.0 installed. For some reason when i clicked on it, DM showed 4.6 again, and then changed to 5.0. That is if berrymike is talking about his Windows taskbar.

    As one of the above posts recommended, go into your BB App World. I got the same notification when one of the apps I downloaded from there had an update. In fact, once you go in to App World, if you look all the way to the bottom right, the My World icon should have the * on it & when you go in there, you should see which app was updated.

    Of course, this is assuming your notification was the same as mine....give it a try. Hope it helps.

    Hi Mike, can you please describe exactly what it looked like and exactly where it appeared?

    Also, do you use separate email & SMS/MMS inboxes?
