Hi everyone, just a question about upgrading from OS 4.6 to 5.0 on my 8520
Please. I have Desktop Manager 5 on laptop, can I just download OS 5 to handset? Also what benefits are there to OS5?

http://crackberry.com/blackberry-101...ting-system-os will get a new OS on your device. Unless your carrier offers an OTA (over-the-air) upgrade you will need a computer to do the installation.

OS5 for most devices offers better batter life and better memory management. At the top of the 8520 forum is likely to be a discussion that will tell the pros and cons. In fact here: http://forums.crackberry.com/f143/la...1036-a-567476/

I'm going to move this thread to the OS 5.0 Forum.

I have a Sprint BlackBerry Curve 8530. It tells me there's an update for my phone 5.0.0.94 whatever. I click on up on update and then It stays stuck on Submitting Update Request. Then never updates. Anyways to clear and restart the update? Or another way to update? I'm an android user so I'm not familiar with BBOS.
