How to: OS 4.x Upgrade for your Blackberry
This is a link to a list of Blackberry OS by carrier.
Blackberry 8100 Pearl OS Software Links (by Carrier) [as of 15OCT07]
Remember that OS's are not carrier specific, and you can use any OS from any carrier as long as it's for your model of phone. Do this at your own risk. If you have to return it at anytime you may void your warranty. You can always reload your carriers version, but that's a whole other process. IF you do use another carriers OS remember to delete the vendor.xml file located at C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader\(your current OS) after installing the OS and before plugging in your BB.
