What’s the price of BB9700 this year?
BB phones are lacking of front facing camera, which makes skype useless.
EJ says:
Can’t update my 9700 :(
gelo says:
can’t download =(
Jesse Panganiban says:
Yay! It’s finally official! I already have the leaked version in my 9700. Will try that one soon. Sana magwork. LOL
Vic says:
Can’t download… :s
luiboowee says:
Don’t even bother. It is not yet available for the Philippines. Haaaay, just wasted of time. Sana ni-confirm muna before ni-post to.
disappointed says:
i tried to update my bb 9700 but its not yet available… please confirm before posting.. i wasted time trying to download… very disappointed
HB says:
No Update Available. You make me want it badly. tsk tsk
Chie says:
I had mine updated last January 2011. I saw Pia Magalona’s tweet that day that this version is already out and that she tried it herself and it worked for her BB. I also tried it by connecting my curve 3G to my pc and it did upgrade my phone.
luiboowee says:
I’m trying it now, discovered this:
1. Google: BlackBerry Software Download for Globe Telecom (try Smart Communications for Smart users, I guess)
2. The BlackBerry site should say: Software Download for Globe Telecom, Inc. and Welcome Globe Customers. (or Smart, maybe)
3. Choose your handset from the drop down menu
4. Place your credentials, click next.
5. Confirm
6. Download. The file is around 178 MB so if you have slow internet connection, it will take about 30 mins to download.
I still have to install it or something to try. Im still downloading as of the moment. Soooo excited! hehe.
luiboowee says:
Very important instructions before you upgrade:
1. BlackBerry Desktop Software should be updated first. It used to be known as a desktop manager. It should be v.6 as well.
2. After “installing” OS6, go to C:/ProgramFiles/CommonFiles/ResearchInMotion/AppLoader, then delete the vendor.xml file (I don’t know why, but it is consistent to other instructions found online) <– this made the trick, you need to delete it.
3. Open your updated BlackBerry Desktop Software, it SHOULD now detect the new OS and ask you to upgrade then follow the instructions there.
Mine is already working. Yehey!
luiboowee says:
Upgrade will take more than 40 mins. Patience required. :)

gelopots says:
here’s what worked for me. i’m a BB Curve 3G user.
1. use v6 of BB desktop software
2. download the OS6 software
3. connect your device via USB and check on the BB desktop software that an update is available.
4. make sure to backup your files.
5. close the BB desktop software. do not disconnect your device.
6. delete “vendor.xml”
7. run “app loader.exe” this should take around 30 mins.
8. tada! it’s a whole new BB! now just restore all your data and you’re all set.
BB 9700 says:
After I updated by BB 9700 to OS 6, some wallpapers are not displayed upon scrolling. :(:(
Edwaed says:
geee just follow “luiboowee’s” instructions and “gelopots” (if you have encountered some errors and you will never get lost.. 0s 6 is working now on my Curve 3g. thanks for the guide sir! high five!!!!! :)
paolo says:
i tried it. using a sun sim. i upgraded to os6 since it was recognized when i plugged my BB on my pc, it was updating then as it was about to finish, it had an error. now my BB is nuked. have to download the OS from the site. weird too, BB doesnt have sun cellular on the list for software downloads so ill get the OS from the smart download link. hassleeeee
mq says:
i dont think it works on 9700.. my 6 OS wont detect my phone for some reason.. eventhough its connected.. any help here? or does it really take long? its been 10 minutes or so the screen still says connect to bb device
mq says:
update: so i updated to os 6 i backuped my files, but then i tried to click update it said no available updates? i deleted the vendor.xml and all. using a 9700 bold. any help pls?
luiboowee says:
After upgrading you did not find Social Feeds app? Follow this:
1. Run apploader.exe (found in the same folder of vendor.xml)
2. Follow instructions and find Social Feeds Application (or its closest word/s), you may also tick YouTube Application and other applications you want to include and/or exclude.
3. Click next, and it will prompt you to back up and upgrade.
** the Desktop Software upgrade do not include the Social Feeds app, so you have to ‘manually’ install it after upgrading. Well, if you were lucky and Social Feeds app was already there after you upgrade, well… you are lucky. Hehe.

I tried it using gelopot’s instructions above but when I launched the loader.exe it won’t detect the os 6 file I downloaded! :(
The os 6 files are located under the share folder of RIM’s folder in the program files.
Am I missing something here?
Need help!
