Tips: Updating your software
Updated BlackBerry Device Software and BlackBerry Desktop Software are released periodically, and you might be
able to update the software from either your computer or your smartphone. Research In Motion recommends that
you regularly create and save a back-up file on your computer, especially before you update any software.
Maintaining a current back-up file on your computer might allow you to recover smartphone data if your
smartphone is lost, stolen or corrupted by an unforeseen issue.
