Ramsy, what version of the OS are you running, out of curiosity? This is a brand new 8700g out of the box from T-Mobile?

I think I may have found the solution otherwise, and that is to install the Hong Kong CSL version of the software.

Ya, I'm running CSL on my 8700c unlocked on TMO; but if TMO OS can support trad chinese & run zen then there's no need for me to run CSL!

I'm running 4.1.0.284 from TMO, and don't seem to be able to display Chinese in my e-mails, unless I'm doing something wrong.

I had no problems enabling the Zen theme though...

I am running 4.1.0.284. Yes, this is a brand new T-Mobile 8700g right out of the box.

Ramsy just sent me the chinese email and it display correctly, all I have install/keep on the oem tmo OS was the korean font support.

Interesting... will have to check and see if there is something missing from my BES setup then as well...

I just got a Cingular 8700c. To load this newer T-Mobile version, does my 8700 have to be unlocked?

No. While I don't have a 8700c, but a 8700g. When I did this OS "upgrade" my phone was not unlocked. Locking only deals with whether or not you can use another carrier's SIM card in your phone.

the main question is.. can you run the new tmo os on an 8700c???

im wondering. has anyone tried to do this?

[supermanfan]

I downloaded both the new desktop and handheld software from the T-Mobile site. Installed both, run Desktop Manager and nothing....

I go to "Application Loader", nothing. Try to drill down to the directory where the new code is loaded (in the shared directory, it is there) and it won't accept anything.

I too want to know if anyone has done with with an 8700c.

EXTRA BOLD, Cool.

Okay, well, my -g arrived in the office today. Out of the box, no trad. chinese support; installed the latest with jibi's blackberry.alx file, again, no dice with trad chinese support. I can input trad chinese though!

Looks like I'm going to need to install CSL like I did with my -c or jibi, something I can edit in blackberry.alx?
