I am new to this forum and a new blackberry owner. I defected from Palm, but having a little trouble adjusting.
My biggest problem is not being able to install 3rd party apps from desktop manager. After viewing other posts on this forum I installed the latest version of the desktop manager. I am downloading the most recent version of the device OS now, even though according to "about" on my phone I already have the newest version number. Should I install it anyway? And if I do will I lose anything I already have installed to my Pearl?
You don't need to install the OS to your BB, just D/L it and install it to your PC. Sounds weird, I know, but it needs to be there for the App loader to work.
And Welcome to CrackBerry!
if you already have the latest then there�s no need to over ride it.
It might not install if it detects your current os now. As been newer. As far as 3 party apps goes when I always did an install it ask if you wanted to delete.
Apps I have a mobile check book on my 8830 and when I do install of the os it keeps the app but erase the contents.
