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.
