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

Adam Zeis

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

Marc_Paradise

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

rgorman

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

Adam Zeis

tips(at)crackberry.com ... for next time :)

rgorman

raven6870

gravymonster

Nice at&t! Way to step into 2010!

grberry

Smh AT&T waited to long to get this out

luqman24

Hope Rogers releases .534 for the Torch like Bell

jcastilloalonso

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 :(

atlpepper

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

123berryaddicted

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

sommerface

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.

SC457

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.

Timelessblur

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

rgorman

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.

rgorman

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?

mnhockeycoach99

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.

osmgs

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

jeffydude05

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

Yell0w

bold touch hopefully.

jeffydude05

Yeah, I'm guessing before May ends.

Ajaxn2

Thank Goodnes they finally did it!

sidie

Is this really the official os ...
Sorry I asked ..
about my blackberry I ever upgarade why I fit into the browser on facebook unreadable cuver 3G is not bold 9700 ..

Sorry once again I ask if there is one word ..

Hennessy62082

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.

mverhamme

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

dalvik

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

Charger83

Ummm so on my facebook mobile it says blackberry 9670?

MikeCooler

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!

Connor83

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

At&t please! stay away from T-mobile

temerarious#cb
