Verizon finally released v6.0 of the Blackberry Operating System to
some of their "newer" older Blackberry SmartPhones.
What do you need to know before your upgrade?
- Make sure your Blackberry is backed up. Use Blackberry Desktop Manager to do this.
- Your cellphone should be sync'ing your contacts, memos and tasks successfully.
- You have a backup of your SD media card. Use Blackberry Desktop Manager or copy the contents of the card to your computer when your Blackberry is connected to your computer. The SD card should be displayed as a removable media drive in Windows Explorer.
- Document all the applications you have downloaded from the web. This list must be detailed enough for you to re-download these applications. If you used Blackberry App World to download and install your apps, this application will be all you need to re-install your applications.
When you connect your Blackberry to your computer and the Blackberry Desktop Manager starts, the Desktop Manager should detect that a new upgrade is available for your phone. Follow the steps and in approximately 1 and 1/2 hours your Blackberry will be running the newest release of the Blackberry Operating System.
All applications you downloaded from the Internet will need to be re-installed. If you installed them via Blackberry App World, open the application and re-install all the applications listed.
