Gonna load her up when I get home

Its great to have these leaks for the torch and the unreleased style. But where is the love for the 9700???

Dang just a lil late LOL ! downloading now will post on findings.

and i just installed .161. lol

Dloading at this moment. Lets see what's new or better. So far .161 running good!

I am loving my new Torch and has been my favorite phone by far...however it is a bit buggy. I would love to up the OS if it will fix it...but one thing I have learned is patience! I am going to wait a bit for this one....Please post back your findingson this!!! Thanks!!

Been waiting for this, didn't know i would be updating both my devices at the same time side by side :)

Desperatley needed this - so many bugs in the original release

How bout some love for the 9650?

RIM show some love for 9700 owners.

they deserve it...

On installing. Hope to hear some responeses soon as to what the big changes are. Anyone know what is different yet? TIA

Updates for Maps, Social, all instant messages to .63(last update). Addition of Slacker Radio. No East/Asia/Japanese fonts so far. Also I dont remember the option for Media Sync on .161. Waiting on initialization...

any word on how good this is yet? and whats new with this?

net_rim_bb_vvm(152)but no issues with the voice mail... So far stable and fast. Noticed that when you use the full keyboard the pop up letters are bigger, and the keyboard is more responsive (no miss type). The browser is faster now. That's with out the first restart...

hope they fix the feeds and im bug was waiting for this way to long thanks.

Now what about all the other phones???

I don't expect much issue fixes as RIM can't fix the switch between the Whew and Straight Face emoticon on the 9550 since the original O.S.

Can we get this for the 9700? How long do we have to wait for a upgrade OS? By the time we get the upgrade there will be some new device that makes our 9700 obsolete.

Thats what they want after all

I downloaded this ONLY because I don't reconnect to BIS after a reboot...and I hoped this would be fixed!!! It's NOT! I've read the threads and all I'm reading is that I need to wipe! I have to wipe every time I reboot! Rediculous! Am I missing something? If anyone has a clue, please email me! kerrysummers@gmail.com

Someone please post if it fixed the lag/freeze issues please.

I've ever dl'ed and like it so far. Seems to be smoother all around. Not a huge difference but my Torch was pretty great from day one! So far so good!

Very very smooth now. Navigating through the device is so fluid. Browser is faster, notifiaction bar fixed. Extremely impressed.

I get this: The application "Wireless Music Sync" cannot be loaded because
some required files are not available.
At this point update closes.

I just did the dog'on thing to my 9800 (installed the 214 version of os6). I do see a big difference already. Gonna hit u guys back to see how this will work a few days from now.....Btw, thanks to Crucial_Extreme for posting direction so simple,that im sure a 7 year old kids could do this with no problems!!!

Works great, better than the last. No issues or problems!

come on RIM where is OS6 for my bold 9700?

YOU disappointed me

"The last was OS 6.0.0.161 which was not all that great and left a lot to be desired for in new Torch owners."

There was something wrong with OS6?????

I have just upgraded my Torch 9800 last night itself. I could not stop myself as soon as I read on twitter about it. On the 6.0.0.141 I was almost crying that why did I buy this thing but now the money spent looks worth as the Torch is running at blazing speed and the finger swipes can be performed with near iPhone precision.

No issues identified as of now, working smoothly. The process just took 17 minutes to upgrade, much quicker than updating the Bold 9700.

Hey guys! I've been complaning a lot on RIM since the release of the torch with the os build 6.0.0.141. First and foremost, RIM should really get rid of the original build for new shipments of the device because it gets laggy and freezes from time to time! When you would have email or social feeds coming in it would. Make the device freeze for a couple seconds! Very frustrating! But now with this build of os 6.0.0.214, WOW! Its exactly like the presentation of OS6 when RIM did their first representation! Device is now running the OS6 very well and the way the experience was suppose to always be with this OS. I wonder why RIM is waisting time or taking too much time to release OS updates that makes significant changes and that improves OS greatly? That will always stay a mystery but they should really fix this bad habit cause I'm still waiting for some themes for OS6!
Anyways here is some more info about this OS6 update that I found playing around with it:
-OS6 is running great and very snapy from the geco
-Reboot time a bit faster
-address bar in browser can now be droped down when scrolling down a web page
-web pages might display a bit faster
-better WiFi connection and signal (I find that its better! Let me know if there was a difference for you as well)
-added favorite icon and bookmark icon when opening web browser (when opening from home screen)
-swiping finger through home screen and other apps MUCH MORE responsive!!! REALLY GOOD!
-no more freezing after entering password when device is lock!!! (I was waiting for this bug fix)
All and all, its the best os6 update and a MUCH NEEDED one for this device! I'll let you guys know if I come across some bugs!

I want one.

I want one.

What desktop version is everyon using to install this ? ive been trying the latest version but it tells me there are no updates available..

disregard.. I got it working.. this release is pure PWNAGE!!!!!! : )

This wont download for me, any one have another place to download from?

Running it, here's what I've found in the last day

the good:
* downloads can now be cleared (161)
* browser title bar now drops down when you touch the top of the page, unstead of auto-scrolling you back to the top (BIG improvement)
* the virtual keyboard is more responsive - I had to slow down my typing in previous builds because it would miss letters. this no longer seems to occur, and the feeling of "lag" on the virtual keyboard has stopped.
* Suretype now only pops up after a brief delay instead of constantly which is an improvement. (Note: disabling suretype saves some battery and keeps the CPU cooler ;)
* the useless Globe on the landscape keyboard has been replaced with the SYM key - equally useless IMO. I wish they'd replace it with the 0 key so that it would mirror the physical keyboard - muscle memory is not trained to do "number" + 0. (Speaking of keyboard wishes - why don't they offset the keys the same as the real keyboard? )
* it's hard to say so far, but the BB doesn't seem to spend so much of its time hot to the touch.

the bad:
* if data connection is slow, browser becomes nonresponsive when clicking links (does not display "loading" even)
* bug introduced in 161 where custom background images do not scale correctly when orientation changes is not fixed.

Anyone willing to make a short video showing the lag improvement and posting it to youtube?

A neat little feature that was showed in the 9700 OS6 video last week, in the broswer the video showed the taskbar would appear with an arrow when you went down the website enough, that feature is in 6.0.0.214

font smoothin option dissapeared after updating the firmware
*(((
too bad ((((
