    My data transfer arrows are constantly flashing have been for nearly a month now, have pulled battery whilst switched on, Nothing. Have turned off GPS, still doing it, have turned off Data services, it stops then but cant send recieve sms mms, Im running no apps at all and dont send or receive emails. I live in a semi rural area and arrow thing calms down but when I go into town for work where there is full service it goes crazy and battery only lasts 3hrs if that Thanks in advance

    options > about will give you your OS version.

    as for upgrading, just find the sticky thread at the top of the 9000 forum that has the newest OS, which i think it .822.

    1000's of us have been downloading them for awhile with no issues. they are usually linked straight from the blackberry website. and the ones that are from 3rd party hosting sites are perfectly fine.
