Will this it allow adding Zen to the 8700g with the ota link? I know on my 8703e I added it that way..but with my Tmo 8700g I had to install Bharti to get it.

So you installed the 8703 software and then copied it over on top of the 8700 installation?

That is the link to DL the 8703e OS, now all i did was install the OS and remove the Vendor file, then added the Blackberry.ALX from Bharti. Once that was done all i had to do was open the desktop manager and it asked me if i wanted to update my OS, i did...and boom! there it was...no issues with the radio nothing...

I tried to upgrade my 8700c just like I have many many times but my DM didn't recognize the software as an upgrade. I deleted the vendor file, renamed the alx
file and added the bharti alx file, opened the dm and nothin', I got nothin'!!

I tried that, no dice. I wonder if it matters that I deleted the Bharti software from my computer. I am running the newest bharti os on my bb but I don't have the software on my computer anymore. |

I believe you must have the 8700 software still installed. I tried the same thing you did and it did not work either. Once I reinstalled the 8700 code, and copied the 8703 folder over it, it worked.

Will this work on a Verizon 8703e? Will I be able to run my current Aquaberry Theme and also be able to use all of the current features?
Thanks

It's working on mine; I installed it this morning. As far as features go, everything I was using still works (email, web, phone). Bluetooth headset still works, too.
I'm using the Wave theme, but I don't see why Aquaberry wouldn't work. |

Newbie warning...
Total newbie here... so apologies in advance for the cluelessness. I've tried to piece answers together by reading the boards, but remain a bit stumped.
I'm new to my BB. Have a stock Cingular 8700c.
In reading the boards (and particularly in threads about the ZEN theme) I keep reading about upgrading the OS. I'm currently running v4.1.0.194.
Sounds like to run ZEN, I have to upgrade, no?
What would be the other benefits?
And how would I go about doing so if Cingular hasn't released anything newer?
Thanks...
Charlie
