Where can I download the blackberry software that came with my blackberry pearl 8100?

Q. It's misplaced. I have a new computer, and I just want to know where I can download it for free.

A. dont listen to edsb, its a virus

How do i download blackberry software to external hard drive?
Q. I want to download the blackberry software (website download) onto my external harddrive so i can upload the software ontop my laptop. I can't download the software to my laptop from the web because i dont have internet avail on my home computer, and i want to use the blackberry desktop software so i can connect my blackberry to my laptop as a modem. help!

A. First plug the external drive into the computer that's going to be used for this. Make sure windows recognizes the drive. It should appear as whatever the next drive letter is. Probably going to be the "E" drive but it could even be "F". Just depends on that computer. So make sure you can see your external drive before continuing.

Then go to the website where the update is. There should be some sort of button to click on the blackberry site that pertains to "update" or "download", something like that. When you click that button you should then get a window asking you if you want to "run" "save" "cancel" this. Click SAVE.

Without knowing what operating system you have, I can't say what you will see next. But if it's Vista or Windows 7, at this point you will be on a window for saving the file you have selected to save. Look on the left and click on "computer" so that you can expand computer and be able to see all of the drives. Once you see the external drive of yours, just click on it and then select save.

How common are Blackberry software problems?
Q. As of Thursday my Blackberry started having software problems. Basically my screen turns white and it will not do anything. I called Sprint and they told me that this is a "fatal software error" and they are going to be sending me a replacement phone. How common are these errors and are there any ways to prevent these errors?

A. Software problems are not all that common, but working in the wireless industry I see them alot.

The best ways to avoid having to get replacements is to regularly back up your device using the Blackberry Desktop Manager. If you start having issues, you can just do a restore to your latest back up.

The "fatal software error", or "white screen of death" usually happens when your phone is plugged into the computer, and it is unplugged/disconnected before the computer is ready. The desktop manager will always give a warning saying "don't unplug your device". There are other causes for that, but most have to do with a defective device or a defective version of handheld softare.

Regular software problems can easily be fixed by reinstalling the latest handheld software on the phone. Sprint should be able to walk you through it, but it is pretty basic if you have the desktop manager and download the handheld software from blackberry.com.

What version of blackberry desktop software manager do I need?
Q. I have a curve 8830, and all I wish to do is transfer my contacts over. That is it

A. Just download version 5.0 which is the lastest, and pick the version WITHOUT media manager.

Q. I dropped by Blackberry Curve in the water; I have Blackberry Protect and the Desktop Software. Is there anyway, if I have it backed up on both of these applications, to get my contact to my new Samsung Acclaim, which is an Android Phone. I really need them for work.

A. I can't really tell you how to get them on to your acclaim, but I can tell you ways to get them off your blackberry.

1. If the blackberry still functions, Get a USB cable that will fit your blackberry's USB type, and connect it to your PC. The blackberry will display the question whether or not you wish to enable mass storage mode. Select yes, or if your screen is cracked and you cannot see, scroll up once, then click.

2. If your blackberry device does not work at all, and you can access the memory card, remove it, and attempt to access it from an adapter, or PC.

3. If your blackberry device does not work at all, and did not use a memory card. You have become attached to another surface via an incline plane wrapped helically around a calendar.
