Interesting filename. Proceed at your own risk. I'd personally make sure that my anti virus software was up to date before loading.

you install the update in you computer and after that, you start desktop manager and it will automatacly detect an update available and install it in your BB.
It worked fine with me.

Default OS 5 Intstalled on my 8520

Hi ive put a leaked OS 5 on my 8520 as Orange still havnt issues the official release yet. Ive put v238 on and its working ok. One problem is that the call screen (when actually in a call) is dark blue with black text! So I cant read the text. Is this normal for OS5? I cant find a way of changing it, or is this just a glitch in having the leaked OS?

Thanks

That's an OS Glitch. I'm running .411 and all is well.
