    I just listened to the BlackBerry podcast and I heard Adam mentioned that if you put a Rogers sim in a Verizon phone, it will let you download/install the 10.2 update. Is that true? If so, will it work ok even though the carriers are so different? I don't want to compromise my service or anything.

    Any advice would be great. Thanks!

    Yes, it will work with no problems, other than you'll get some rogers apps.

    Although I'm speaking from experience with rogers and t-mobile, so I don't know about the radio files (if they're part of the update or not).

    Thanks, purpledog10. Can someone else verify about the radio files?

    I loaded the Rogers 10.2.0.1791 on my VZW Q10 via sachesi method and the radio seems to be working fine. I will be interested to know if the Rogers sim trick works for OTA update, please keep us posted.

    I tried using my Rogers sim in my friends Verizon Z10 to get the 10.1 update in the spring and it didn't work. Installing from a pc with autoloader worked fine.
