Awesome! Great to have an official source of these builds.

I am surprised they released an OS6 build for the 9700 as well as the 9780...I guess they don't see OS6 on a 9700 as threatening their 9780 sales.

Saw this earlier this morning , beaware that this is a multi-lang, not all-lang.

netorino Feb 10, 2011 at 12:50 pm

Hey, how can I check if it can display in Spanish? Thanks

Libra1224 Feb 10, 2011 at 12:20 pm

Have any idea on the changes if any that the new .448 will bring

emirozmen Feb 10, 2011 at 3:12 pm

ı spotted two minor changes. and for the 9700 the memory leak slowed down a lot:)

kamaldev Feb 10, 2011 at 12:20 pm

Can we run Nimbuzz without any malfunction on OS 6.0.0.448. I have always faced connection issues and typing issues with Nimbuzz on all official as well as unofficial OS 6. Any fixes yet? Please let me know.

JACKCITY08401 Feb 10, 2011 at 12:30 pm

What are the benefits of this new OS. I currently have a Torch 9800 that I unlocked. Its works fine I guess. Although when I recive picture mail, there always small. But what I'm asking is this: Will this new OS enhance my BlackBerry experience. .. ? And if so how. .. ? And do u think this something I should should want 2 get. .. ?

2K12BLVR Feb 10, 2011 at 12:39 pm

Well, this is interesting. I had installed this leaked build a week or two ago and within an hour, there was a leaked build 6.0.0.450 for the Torch specifically. I am currently running the .450 build and it has solved almost all of the glitches ( were quite a lot) that the previous Official build had in it.
Think I may just stick with the .450 build as obviously it corrected some problem(s) that the .448 build had since it was released within minutes. Would be nice to have an Official version though!

jojones44 Feb 10, 2011 at 12:56 pm

Does this update fix the text messaging errors?

baselhamam Feb 10, 2011 at 1:14 pm

I installed the same bundle from Vodafone and the problem of the camera flashlight is not gone. i can catch one picture with flash and then the flash turns off .If this copy solves the problem plz note me.

Nashstruck Feb 10, 2011 at 6:37 pm

Where did u get a .448 for vodafone uk from?

will7201 Feb 10, 2011 at 1:26 pm

Running this in my debranded UK Curve 3G and it's good. The scroll in Facebook is how it should be and not all over the place! So far, so good :)

Brazen9000 Feb 10, 2011 at 1:43 pm

It's always asked but I've never heard anything concrete - do Mac owners have any access to these updates?

BerryBone Feb 10, 2011 at 1:52 pm

The only way that a Mac user can currently update their blackberry OS is either to have a separate Windows PC or to use VMWare with a compatible WIndows OS.

Brazen9000 Feb 10, 2011 at 3:40 pm

Many thanks.

Prettyboyant Feb 10, 2011 at 3:10 pm

Would this work for my tmobile bold 9700 ??

Jacob.butler Feb 10, 2011 at 3:49 pm

I'm on O2 in the UK, I've installed the 9300 version fine on my BB - however the App Store no longer appears, is this an issue for other people.

Prettyboyant Feb 10, 2011 at 3:58 pm

Would this work on my US tmobile 9700?

Can anyone answer that ?

LaHaye Feb 10, 2011 at 5:45 pm

LaHaye Feb 10, 2011 at 10:35 pm

pbarbaro Feb 10, 2011 at 9:20 pm

LaHaye Feb 11, 2011 at 1:38 am

raptorstv Feb 11, 2011 at 9:24 am

does this version support Asian languages????

henghs Feb 11, 2011 at 11:19 am

Yeah, I also wanna know. Can someone please tell us?
I'm running version 359 from Singtel. If this UK version supports Chinese character display, I would definitely like to upgrade to the version.

henghs Feb 11, 2011 at 11:19 am

Yeah, I also wanna know. Can someone please tell us?
I'm running version 359 from an Asian operator. If this UK version supports Chinese character display, I would definitely like to upgrade to the version.

jcksrk Feb 11, 2011 at 10:32 am

At what point in the guide to installing an official OS do we have to delete the the vendor file or what ever from the OS file since my provider is AT&T and not 3 UK which released this OS upgrade?

SC457 Feb 11, 2011 at 12:30 pm

Delete it as soon as the file is downloaded and installed, do it before you connect your phone to upgrade to the new OS.

edwardagyeman Feb 11, 2011 at 9:31 pm

how is it running for you? any bugs? att customer...

Scrybe Feb 11, 2011 at 11:34 pm

Upgraded and runs great. I did find one missing came a feature, though: I no longer get the show on map in the camera menu for geotagged photos. Anyone else have that problem (or a fix?)

d3m0n_edge Feb 12, 2011 at 6:55 am

Been running this for two days on my 9700 on O2-UK. No memory leaks, bit more snappier than 380, fixed cursor on text and facebook.

I can't get to the Geotagging option in the camera, but no big deal, I don't use that anyway.

svoisin Feb 12, 2011 at 7:54 am

I'm missing cursor in bbm chat now. Only when you scroll up into the chat. So annoying. Anyone else have this problem? Might go back to my last OS.

amlbuton Feb 12, 2011 at 10:04 pm

Already install both version from Cosmote & Three, it's all still having bugs for missing cursor in bbm. Guess will be back to .359 till RIM release any fix for the latest official os.

RomanPF Feb 13, 2011 at 12:29 pm

Thanks, made a clean wipe and install. Runs much faster and finally podcast app is working. Previous 448 was made to block podcast app.

gavinl1967 Feb 16, 2011 at 5:19 am

I upgraded my Torch to OS .448 this morning. I've never upgraded the OS on a Blackberry before so I was a bit nervous about doing it. My fears were unfounded however, there were no problems and the whole process took about 30 mins.
I'm on O2 in the UK, although the phone was bought network free from CPW. I followed the Blackberry 101 guide and although the process didn't go quite as described, the new software installed ok, I didn't lose any existing apps or information and everything else on the phone still seems to work.

s0mojo Feb 26, 2011 at 2:49 am

Strange, downloading the 9700 file and its 5.0.0.351?

EDIT: sorry misread!

browney Mar 1, 2011 at 4:39 pm

right im thick , im on vodafone uk not three , what do i do during download and install and the rest or the complicated stuff ??????

NaulterEgo Mar 2, 2011 at 4:01 pm

Click on the link, download the file and then delete the vender.xml file. Connect your Blackberry via USB to your computer and start desktop manager. It will ask you if you would like to upgrade, if it doesn't then you didn't delete the vender.xml file.
Read the instruction located above for doing and upgrade or clean install. They are all there and relatively simple to follow.

NaulterEgo Mar 2, 2011 at 4:07 pm

For those complaining about the Blackberry Messenger cursor glitch. Simply delete Blackberry Messenger, restart your Blackberry and then log into Blackberry AppWorld. Download the latest official release from there and your cursor will again appear like normal. Note: This will downgrade Blackberry Messenger, but you won't be missing out on much, if anything except the cursor problem.

browney Mar 3, 2011 at 3:24 pm

relief ! thats probably the only problem i didnt want , sorted thanks ;)

browney Mar 5, 2011 at 1:57 pm

would it be easier to delete bbm before i upgrade ?
