Hey all, I've encountered the well document problem of not being able to push applications to my unlocked 8320 through the desktop manager supplied by T-Mobile in the retail packaging. I have searched the forum and found that the fix is to download and install the new software from T-Mobile at the following location:

http://www.t-mobile.com/bbupgrade/

Thats where I hit a brick wall as Rogers customer as im unable to even download the packages until I enter a "valid" T-Mobile phone number. Sooooo just wondering if anyone know's of a valid generir t-mobile # just so I can download or an alternative download site with the same packages.

Thanks,
Sam

thanks very much... but for some reason I still can't download. Once I login and select the download i want it says "read the below before you authorize the download" but there is no pop up's for download, active x included, and no button to select

Just worked fine for me - download button in the lower right hand corner.

It should work...
Just put in the number, click "Go" then select the software and scroll down and select the "Download" link at the bottom right hand corner.

yah strange I get no download link, on multiple computers using either IE or Firefox.

If you use that generic number you see the link??

Thanks for the help mess

Yea, I used the generic number and I am able to download the setup file, download window pops up allowing me to save the exe.

Which software are you trying to download? Handheld Software (V4.2.2.180)?

What happens when you access the site after entering the phone number? do you see the list of apps to download?

yah i login i see the links to the different apps or instructions

so if i select the first one it tells me all about the download but there is no were to click download.

Not sure why its not working... I copied the direct download link:

http://downloads.infospace.com/T-Mo..._v4.2.2.180.exe

Try if the link works..

If not.. go to http://www.t-mobile.com/bbupgrade/
click the bb8320 log in with the generic number then copy and paste the URL in a seperate window, and see if the download window pops up.

Hopefully this works.

I tried it myself... works for me. Hover over the text of the stuff you want to download... click. Bam, download initiates.

Used it on firefox, ie, and safari.

Clicking on the direct download link will just re-direct you to the main site.

Possibly.

I know when I lived in Canada I could not access a number of US-based sites with my US accounts.

i've actually tried now on a vista 32 bit machine and it works....

my problem is that it doesn't work on any of my 64bit vista workstations.... strange... the only different is the the html code for the download gif button doesn't appear
