It is important to keep your BlackBerry software up to date if you want your handset to run at an optimal level. There are two basic ways that you can manually update BlackBerry software:

   1. On the handset, go to HOME, select “options”, then “device” and go to “software updates”. This is the simplest option but it isn’t available on all    BlackBerry handsets.

   2. Connect the phone to your computer. On the computer, go to the software update page on the BlackBerry site. Select “blackberry device software” and    follow the instructions on the page to complete the process.

You should also know that it’s possible to set up your BlackBerry Desktop Software to check automatically for updates. Go to the same page that you went to in option two (above) and go to the Help section for additional instructions.
