Upgrading my BlackBerry operating system to OS 6.0.0.546 (Bundle 2475) has been on my mind for weeks now ever since I heard that BlackBerry OS 6.0 had been released for major BlackBerry models like Tour, Curve, Bold, Storm and Pearl.
Globacom Nigeria, my network operator as always wasn’t pushing the BB operating system (OS)upgrade to mobile phones nor did they have it for download on their site thus I sought out to find a reliable download source for OS 6.0 for my Curve 9300 3G which to my utmost shock/surprise had been available all along on the official BlackBerry website.
Unfortunately, due to my location (no 3.5G internet connection), the official BlackBerry OS 6 download was slow as hell and had no pause – resume download ability. As luck would have it, I was able to reach out to a few of my online pals/co-bloggers (Karen, Ileane and Mitch Mitchtell) and Mitch quickly came to my rescue downloading the OS for me and uploading it to my server.
The download weighing in at 157MB took about 4hrs 37minutes to complete after which I then proceeded to upgrade my blackberry curve 3 to OS 6.0.
NOTE: Before you upgrade your blackberry phone to 0S 6.0, it’s strongly recommended that you contact your network provider to verify if the network is compatible with OS 6 as not all networks are.
Globacom Nigeria only had OS 5 for download so after confirming that the network could handle OS 6.0, I downloaded it off Etisalat Nigeria.
