This download is from Estisalat but will work on ANY carrier's 8100 model BB. (Not 8110, 8120 or 8130)
1. Download the above OS file to the PC then install it to the PC by running (double clicking) the file you downloaded. (Vista users be sure to right click on the .exe file and select "Run As Adminstrator.")
2. Go to c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader and delete the file named "vendor.xml."
3. Plug in BB and double click on "Loader.exe." It's located in the same place as the above vendor.xml file.
The process takes about 45 minutes to an hour depending on how much data you have to backup and restore during the process. Once it's done loading the new OS it will reboot (it may do this twice during the entire process.) You will see a white screen with an hourglass for up to 20 minutes at a time while the DM says "waiting for initialization."
If, for some reason, you end up with a white screen with small icons and the number 507, simply connect to the PC again and run Loader.exe again and it should load the OS to the device.
Is there any difference between this and the leaked version that came out like last week? Cus I'm running it right now and I wanna know if there's any improvements.

A beta is OS in "test" form. As long as the numbers are the same - the OSs are the same.

i realize this. which is why im asking. the os i am running currently is a beta os. and now this os is released on the blackberry website correct? meaning it could be different? im sorry if im being a pain.
So what's the word on this one? I'm still using .81, wondering if there's any reason to upgrade. How's the camera? How is speed and stability in general?
I just downloaded and installed this and now my new message Icon wont go away, even though I dont have a new message. When i get a new text I get a second new message icon next to the first one. Any tips? I did a hard reset already.
