Attention AT&T Bold 9700 users! If you've been hanging out waiting on AT&T to release OS 6 - today is your day!! AT&T has (finally) released OS 6.0.0.526 for the BlackBerry Bold 9700. While it's not the newest official build, it's new to AT&T and ready to rock. I know some of you like to wait for your carrier to officially release an OS, so if you've been an overly patient 9700 user then get on it!. Be sure to head into the forums to discuss your findings. Better late than never AT&T.

Wait, I've had .526 installed on my Torch for a while now? Or have I just lost my mind?

You're right - I didn't see our post on it (early morning blogging). Fixed up. Thanks!

Wow - I didn't think AT&T would ever actually release this for the 9700.

I posted that up real quick in the forums because I couldn't find a quick email to give you the hot tip!

Hope Rogers releases .534 for the Torch like Bell

Anybody know how good or bad rthi8s build is? I usually have no problem with AT&T builds.

Finally, hopefully its a good build - because 9700/6.0.0.461 is lousy :(

of course 6 days after i had to downgrade to the official 5.0.0.979 to get Bridge working...they finally give us OS 6

 
 
Posted by 123berryaddicted Thursday, Apr 28, 2011 392 days ago

Hmmm... Bridge has worked flawlessly for me on 9700/6.0.0.461

 
 
Posted by sommerface Thursday, Apr 28, 2011 392 days ago

YES! I mean, it always takes AT&T eons to give an update, but I'm for this. I'm giving my friend my bold this weekend, so she'll like the new way it looks.

already have the official .534 installed... i thought i was actually going to get an official release update for my AT&T phone for a second.

 
 
Posted by Timelessblur Thursday, Apr 28, 2011 392 days ago

Holy crap AT&T is doing a full fledge OS update for blackberry. That is unheard of.

A few quirky things are going on- For the most part it kept all my 3rd Party and add-on stuff. Just had to re-login to all of them. Two major problems so far. Blackberry Protect is broken, along with the BB Podcast App is a bit messed up. It lost all but one of my subscriptions and trying to resync isn't easy... because it doesn't show up in the menu. So I'll delete and reinstall both of those to see it if fixes them.

 
 
Posted by rgorman Thursday, Apr 28, 2011 392 days ago

Almost forgot to update- Yes, re-installing both apps fixed them. Protect just needed to be reinitialized as if new- not a problem. The BB Podcast thing went in fine and was able to re-sync my original subscriptions and it's working fine.

I have been holding off on moving to OS6, but maybe now is the time. Will most (purchased) OS5 apps still work on OS6?

 
 
Posted by mnhockeycoach99 Thursday, Apr 28, 2011 392 days ago

Shocker that AT&T FINALLY released an OS update. They seem to be about 3-4 months (or more) behind the rest of the carriers.

 
 
Posted by osmgs Thursday, Apr 28, 2011 392 days ago

IS there maybe a memory leak? and will it work for a dutch blackberry?

 
 
Posted by jeffydude Thursday, Apr 28, 2011 392 days ago

You know ATT only upgrades their devices when they are about to release a new one. :D

 
 
Posted by Yell0w Thursday, Apr 28, 2011 392 days ago

bold touch hopefully.

 
 
Posted by jeffydude Thursday, Apr 28, 2011 392 days ago

Yeah, I'm guessing before May ends.

Thank Goodnes they finally did it!

So I upgraded and now my bridge connection with my PlayBook isn't working right. Before I had no web browsing with bridge but had my emails....now I have browsing (REALLY SLOW) and no emails. I hate AT&T. No BlackBerry Bridge app for OS6...just found that out.

What about Proximus (Belgium) 9700 bold users? Where can I find that?

Posted by trevalkin Thursday, Apr 28, 2011 392 days ago

well I was waiting for it and waiting and waiting and finally sold my bold 9700 on ebay 2 months ago and enjoying my motorola Atrix. So AT&T you're a little late LOL but I don't regret

 
 
Posted by Charger83 Thursday, Apr 28, 2011 392 days ago

Ummm so on my facebook mobile it says blackberry 9670?

 
 
Posted by MikeCooler Thursday, Apr 28, 2011 392 days ago

I bet ATT found a way to BLOCK the PB bridge, thats the only reason i can see them releasing the update. They tend to release updates at the end of the life cycle of a fone. If you want the new stuff you gotta upgrade. As soon as the new BBs hit Verizon im out!

 
 
Posted by Connor83 Thursday, Apr 28, 2011 392 days ago

We'll I'm running .534 on my AT&T 9700 so I doubt I'll be going down to this. The only problem It has is sometimes the browser freaks out. If .526 is just as good with out that issue someone let me know. And hopefully they get this to the 9100/9105 soon. They have it for the 9700 and 9300 so why not

NEED TO FREE MEMORY: Installed OS 6. Like a lot of the new features. But my free system memory went from 75MB down to under 20MB. I noticed OS 6 added a bunch of new icons/apps. What are good candidates to delete to free up space vs. apps that might actually be useful. (I notice a lot of these new ones are trial, meaning they probably involve monthly fees I won't want to pay!)

What irks is that I have over 12GB free on my media card, but apps don't install on the media card! Shame that downloaded apps can't use some of that storage space.

Any recommendations are welcome!

Thanks,
John
