1. Make sure you have the latest version of Desktop Manager installed. It's 4.3, found Here
2. Download the above file to the PC then install it to the PC by running the file you downloaded. (Choose the 8700)
3. Locate the vendor.xml file and delete it. It's located in c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader
4. Plug in BB and Open Desktop Manager. You should be prompted to upgrade.
Have some patience, this could take an hour to complete. DO NOT unplug the device until it is finished!
I hadn't connected my BB to my PC for awhile, but when I did it yesterday, an update dialog popped up. I was able to upgrade to the new software with no trouble.
Please forgive a stupid question from a new BB owner - but why would a Sys upgrade made specifically for Singapore Tel, be a good thing to install on one's device, if one isn't, in Singapore. Sorry for being dim, but being new to the whole BB 'thing' maybe there's a logic - but I just don't get it.

That doesn't make sense to me, either.
The update I got was automatic from BlackBerry when I connected to my BB Desktop Manager.
it wouldnt work on my 8700. I installed it to my computer, opened up desktop manager, plugged in the phone, opened up the application loader, it didnt come up, but when i downloaded the OS from AT&T and installed it, the application loader worked just fine. Does anyone have the newest software that will work for 8700c
4.1 and 4.2 difference i think is minor except for the media icon that you get on your phone.
i have tons of questions about this...im scared to dl it to my phone for fear it'll freeze up or black out being a newb i dont want to screw it up just because i want to load mp3 ringtones lol
Hi, I downloaded the 4.3 version to my computer and plugged in the phone and hey all works mighty fine for me on a 8700c with Vodafone!
i cant get file to transfer on my 8700c, bought it used from some corp. buis. they had it all locked up and striped of apps. so ive been running into trouble with it since day 1, got the newest version of desktop manager downloaded, the roxio software wont reconize my device, what do i need to transfer pics, music, and ringtones???? please help
I'm running OS 4.2.1.114 on my 8700C. I'm downloading this so-called 'latest OS for 8700'. Hey..I think this is for 8707V NOT for 8700 series. But what the heck..will give it a try anyway. As far as I know..the latest OS for 8700 series is from Hutchinson and it is 4.2.1.114. Correct me if I'm wrong
-update: Confirmed. Not meant for 8700c but for 8707V or 8707G

Reason: updating
Hi, I am having a problem upgrading. I have a 8700g from Rogers, and when I open Desktop Manager it asks me to update it, and then when I get to the screen to do it, after I click Update it says
The Application "Blackberry PGP Email Library" cannot be loaded, becasue it requires the following applications that are not availible.

basically the devices run similar software except for the carrier dependent features. that is why you're supposed to Delete the vendor.xml file located in c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader before performing the update
