The Desktop Manager software was provided on a CD in the original packaging for your

access it online. To do so, complete the following steps.
1. Access the Desktop Manager download site
2. Select BlackBerry Desktop and choose “Next”
3. Select Desktop Manager - With Media Manager
4. Click the “Download Software” link
5. Enter the requested information and choose “Next”
6. Accept the terms and conditions, and choose “Next”
7. Click the “Download” link and complete the software download
Once you are able to access the Desktop Manager, download the appropriate BlackBerry
software update to your PC.
1. Access the software update file for your device.
2. Once you’ve downloaded the software update file to your PC, open Desktop
Manager and connect the smartphone to your PC using the USB cable provided with
your BlackBerry. (A prompt should appear recognizing newer software for the device
than the currently installed version.)
3. Follow the onscreen instructions for the software update. (This will result in a backup
of the information currently on your device saved to your PC. The existing settings and
files
will be restored to your BlackBerry.)
