3 questions: one is, i got the Pearl when it first came out. Is there an update patch i need to download somewhere for software? secondly, the maps options in the menu comes up with blank squares when i click on it. i thought it was supposed to show streets and stuff. Is it not working b/c i dont have the $20 unlimited internet option on my plan yet? lastly, my friend just sent me a ringtone through email to my yahoo account that is in a mp3 file. He sent it from his Treo. How do i transfer this to and use it on my Blackberry Pearl? sorry if this is elementary, i just have never done anything like this before.

thanks in advance.

The latest OS right now for the BlackBerry is 4.2.0.69. If you want to upgrade your OS you can. I am assuming you can't access the maps as per no BlackBerry data plan. As for the ringtone you can save it to your hard drive then use the media manager function on the desktop manager to load it onto your BlackBerry.

thank you very much. this is EXACTLY the help i needed. one last question: where can i get the latest firmware? i checked my phone and it is not the # you showed. I haven't even googled it yet or gone on RIM's website b/c i'm lazy, but you also sound very knowledgeable so i thought i'd ask. Anyone else can chime in here as well

. love this forum!

The link has been posted in a couple threads already but I'll post it again. You can download the 4.2.0.69 OS here.

Where did you hear this from? I've tried .67 and .69, and they both work fine. .67 speeds everything up faster, and .69 is a bit faster then .67.

thank you for being patient with me. that link you posted goes to a Cingular site. this is a blackberry Pearl from T-Mobile. will upgrading to that OS do anything funky to my t-mobile options? or is there no T-mobile upgrade software at the moment?

Nope, you can put the cingular OS on the T-mo pearl and vice versa.
