Wireless OS updates coming with 4.3

BB Logo Our buddy Josep at miblackberry just got back from the Connect with the Experts conference in Madrid recently, and has a fair bit to report. Connect with the Experts is a traveling one-day seminar for technical BlackBerry professionals, with Amsterdam set as its next destination on November 8th. CWTE has given us a look at some upcoming developments for BlackBerry… First up, all OS updates will be over the air – no Desktop Manager needed. While updating, which takes about two hours, you’ll be able to keep using your BlackBerry normally without any problems. We also hear OS 4.3 is due before the end of the year and will work on the BlackBerry 8700 and later – everything else is out of luck. BES admin software will also get a bit of a facelift, available for free beta download soon. BIS users can keep their eyes open for an upgrade to 2.5 also before the end of the year, including support for Microsoft Office formats.

It’s worth noting that wireless OS upgrades, at least initially, will only be available from a BES (complete with OTASL service book). It will be device- or server-initiated for the actual update, but only applicable to devices running OS 4.3.x and above. Also, OS 4.3.0 will be completely skipped outside of the 8120 and 8130 Pearl devices and move straight on to OS 4.3.1, which we’ll be lucky to see by the end of December (more realistic is late January).

I’m confused will this upgrade work with bb curve 8320 from tmobile? If it for curve and 8100 pearl then mine should be one of those curve but why mention it only for bb 8700. The rest won’t get it. Please clear these confusion thanks Tom
