The answer:
deciding not to install the update.

I don't think it is that simple if the service provider is pushing
down software and controls the update process. For the user to decide
not to install the update, the user must be presented with a choice.
If the install is done silently over the network in the background,
then there is no choice for the user.

cheers, i don't really had a time to take a look in deep on this specific case.

I'm talking the "generic". Usually, the blackberry handheld device does not
came with an automatic update software owned by your "telephony provider" or
rim. Therefore and moreover, any update should be done by hand.

Moreover, real software updates provided by RIM should be installed using the
desktop manager application. Usually this is not an automatic process and
sometimes requires your handheld password to be done.

I understand that you can download blackberry updates from rim websites
according to your provider, but the trust rely in RIM who publish this
software.


Cheers,
