Hi all,
Happy New Year! Hope 2010 will be a better year than 2009.
I have a BB 8703e with core applications and system software version 4.1. Can I and how would I get to update/upgrade to version 4.2 at least?
Thanks for your help.

If you wish to bypass your carriers sanctioned device OS level, then you will need these instructions to install:
Note that, if you bypass your carriers approved level, you will likely be refused further support from them.
Good luck and let us know!
