BlackBerry 6

Taiwan Mobile has released OS 6.0.0.546 for BlackBerry Bold 9700 and 9780 owners bringing them up to par with the BlackBerry Torch 9800, which recieved the same update last week from Vodafone DE. This isn't a huge jump for either as the 9780 was previously sitting at .534 and the 9700 at .526 but an update is an update. We're interested in knowing how it performs for you, so if you choose to install it let us know in the comments or in the forums at the links below what changes you see. Thanks rroyy!

9700/6.0.0.534 has been running kinda weird I was considering downgrading but I'd rather try this one.

I really wish the Mac OS X version of the desktop software was custom firmware friendly. Tried a similar update and thought I bricked my 9700 using the PC version in VMWare and Windows XP Pro.

Closed down the virtual machine and the Mac Desktop brought me back to official T-mo 6.0.448. Oh well, I'm a noob, but I tried...

It seems that the location now works only via GPS. Previously, it has determined the approximate location using the cell towers. Then I got a "big blue circle" in GoogleMaps. Now it just say "GPS not available" until some satellites are found. Can anyone confirm this?

Gotta pass on this, Too much hassle and problems with these type updates, finally installed T-Mobile official OS6 6.0.0.534 and life is much easier, have 107.1MB free space.

how come you can get 107mb free?

Updated from .532 and I haven't noticed any change, except more free memory. Oh and this is the only 6.0 version on the 9700 that loads the full web page of ubergizmo and it's just as stable as the others.
