Blackberry Bold 9700 RIM Software: Installation
A guide to setting up your new Blackberry Bold 9700 RIM software.
One of the great things about the Blackberry Bold 9700 is that Research In Motion, also known as RIM is constantly working to provide you with new software for your Blackberry device. New versions of the Blackberry Bold 9700 operating system are being tested continuously as RIM works hard to ensure that you are one hundred percent satisfied with your Bold 9700.
You may be wondering what exactly you need to do to install the latest Blackberry Bold 9700 RIM operating system software for your Blackberry Bold 9700. Well, there are a number of different steps that you could potentially take to get the new software up and running on your RIM device.
Generally, your service provider should have the latest approved Blackberry software available for instant download from the device itself through a wireless upgrade, or through their website. However, there are times when your service provider may not offer the latest operating system, and thus, you are left on your own to upgrade and install your Blackberry Bold 9700 software.
In order to upgrade and install your RIM software, there are a few things you need, starting of course with your Blackberry Bold 9700, a computer, be it a PC or a MAC, an internet connection, and of course, the USB cable that accompanied your Bold 2.
The first step is perhaps the most obvious, which is downloading your Blackberry Bold 9700 RIM certified Blackberry operating system. You want to make sure that you are downloading the newest software for your Blackberry, which is generally the one with the highest number. Once you download it and save it to your computer, you should open desktop manager. Remember to only download a Blackberry operating system software that has been approved by Research In Motion, and not an unofficial build, which may cause harm to your Blackberry.
Make sure that before you connect your Blackberry Bold 9700 to your computer to begin the installation of the software that you make records of what applications and settings you have that may not be standard with the default options of the Blackberry OS RIM software. These may include third party applications and themes.
After you’ve backed up these applications and themes, the next step is to install the Blackberry OS RIM software onto your computer. You do this by running the downloading application and following the directions. The next step is to open Blackberry desktop manager, and then connect your Blackberry Bold 9700. The desktop manager software will prompt you that an upgrade is available for your Bold 9700 software. Choose the upgrade option, and let the installation of your Blackberry software begin!
