Mobilicity releases OS 6.0.0.380 for the BlackBerry Curve 3G and Bold 9700
Mobilicity has officially released 6.0.0.380 for the BlackBerry Curve 3G and Bold 9700. If you have been waiting to load 6.0.0.380 on your 9300 or 9700 for some reason, here is another chance to get an official version. While not the first carrier to have an official release of this OS - that title goes to StarHub Ltd for the 9300 and Vodafone Essar Limited for the 9700 - Mobilicity is the first Canadian carrier to support it for either device. This isn't the highest OS available for the 9300 or 9700, that would be the leaked OS 6.0.0.424 which you can grab here for 9300 and here for the 9700. That said, if you're looking to stick to official OS' then you may be happy to see these ones show up.

should i downgrade from .424 leak?
veii Jan 12, 2011 at 5:13 pm
Am I the only one who actually prefers OS5? Faster, smoother, much easier to use, and with the proper ringtones. I didn't find any benefit whilst using OS6, even Universal Search was cumbersome compared to my usual Quicklaunch/OS5 combination.
supermanjamil Jan 12, 2011 at 5:26 pm
No you're not the only one. I haven't even bothered to load OS 6. I'll probably be the only dork with the Playbook content with having OS 5 for another 6-8 months. lol
belfastdispatcher Jan 12, 2011 at 6:48 pm
I tried it but couldn't cope with it, back to OS5 with new found appreciation of it.

100% agreed
datta72 Jan 13, 2011 at 10:32 am
I loaded it and fell in love with it. But the memory leaks got the best of me and forced me to get the 9780.......the web browsing experience alone is worth the 6.0
SjorsBB Jan 12, 2011 at 5:14 pm
Looks like another carrier released a shit OS for 9700.. When do they release a bugfree-one?
CashV Jan 12, 2011 at 6:30 pm
did you download and run it?
TheEliteOne Jan 12, 2011 at 5:23 pm
OS 6.0.0.424 is your best bet. Runs the smoothest for my 9700 thus far.
CashV Jan 12, 2011 at 6:36 pm
I agree, although it would be nice to have the bugs taken care of (cursor issue, battery drain, memory leak, etc.).
diruocco Jan 12, 2011 at 5:36 pm
ya its a bit of a head scratcher weather or not to downgrade from .424. i must say .424 looks to the smoothest of os 6 leaks. For me .418 was terrible. But there still is a couple of important bugs they need to fix and i doubt this is it. I'm not gonna go back to .380.
Snypa Jan 12, 2011 at 6:09 pm
well well well, confuse are we. Im down to 40MB free on .424 at the moment, so i really dont know. 5.0 might just have been the best OS on my 9700 to date.
kaiowasss Jan 12, 2011 at 6:20 pm
Only one thing I don't understand is the most used blackberry is 9700. The least attention OS by blackberry developers on the same phone.
Aztek13 Jan 12, 2011 at 6:32 pm
I'm still sticking to 5.0 until the memory leak is fixed and from the looks of it, I'm not going to be "upgrading" any time soon.
breakmedown Jan 12, 2011 at 6:34 pm
I'm still sticking to OS5 until the reviews for 6 are more positive. I'm glad to see an official North American release, though.
diruocco Jan 12, 2011 at 7:01 pm
the memory issue is a big problem
Cos Jan 12, 2011 at 7:12 pm
I am on 6 now, downgrading back to 5 prefer it much better on my 9650....
indie_user Jan 12, 2011 at 10:13 pm
any findings in this OS release?
djnick Jan 12, 2011 at 10:35 pm
yes its crap
aparkins30 Jan 12, 2011 at 10:53 pm
If I have to read one more comment about people going back to os5 I seriously might cry. How is it that anybody prefers the older os over the newer one? Basically you're saying you don't like change and innovation. Do you use wifi sync with os5? Do you use the faster browser with os5? Surely you click on the click to manage connections or click right below it to see notifications and upcoming calendar events. Oh wait, os5 can't do any of that because its old and outdated.
djnick Jan 12, 2011 at 11:16 pm
I seriously hope you are just joking
kentuckyloan Jan 12, 2011 at 11:17 pm
major memory leak and battery drainage. I am going back to os 5
josh05 Jan 12, 2011 at 11:53 pm
I downgraded from .424 and I found this one to be just as solid only better since I can now scroll through fb and bbm without the cursor disappearing. Overall, I find this one better than the latter leaked versions.
kaiserczar Jan 13, 2011 at 4:45 am
same with the one on starhub for curve 3G.
you don't know the meaning of os6 until u have properly used it with the bugs, leaks etc. just go with it for a few days then you'll love it. os5 is outdated especially the browser
fpecchio Jan 13, 2011 at 8:44 am
I tried it for a couple of days on my BB 9700, and to tell you all the truth it's still buggy. I didn't like the OS6 at all.

HELP: Dude, reading all these comments, I think I might wanna switch the IPHONE!!! UGGGGGHHHH, did I just say iPhone??? My apologies fellow BBM'ers. But what should a dedicated Crack-Berry Junky like my self do???
sifiso4 Jan 18, 2011 at 10:10 am

wrathyimp Jan 20, 2011 at 7:05 am

karlsf Jan 20, 2011 at 9:57 am
ive been using this OS for about an hour, seems fine to me till now, internet browsing is much better, navigation is fine, icons are more modern,id recommend an upgrade to see what it looks like :)
kstupar Aug 10, 2011 at 10:38 pm
Do not download this OS! I'm unable to send emails anymore because of the bugs in this update.
