Sprint rolling out OS 6.0.0.415 OTA's for the BlackBerry Bold 9650 and BlackBerry Curve 3G

I'm still waiting for my device to "link the Java files" but hey, Christmas came early for us Sprint Bold 9650 users!

This is great news. Perhaps Verizon isn't too far behind.

This is def great news. Would be better if there was a Official Download link so other 9650 users can update there phones as well.

UGH, I'm using the 6.0.0.333 leak on the 9650 and its saying my stuff is up to date when I look for an update. Is there a way around this?

The best christmas gift from Sprint!!! Going home to update my phone!

DAMN.....! Way to go SPRINT! FIRST with 4G, & now FIRST WITH THE 6.0 UPGRADE. you are really making me a very proud customer SPRINT! :) keep up the good work.

All we need now is theme builder to come out of beta

UMMMM yes they do. check it out .

Quick question - I went to update and it gave me a newer version of OS 5. Any idea if I have to upgrade to that OS and then check for another update to get to 6? Would it not just jump to the most recent OS?

Damn Verizon blows!!!

I have 333. Also, never backed up os5 before installing 6 because I got a replacement phone Is there a way to get back to 5 so I can update and run the official 6?

I wonder if this version is as buggy as the leaked .418 for the 9700.

Now it's time the Torch got some love again... I mean, we're still in the early .3xx's... :)

anyone know if theres a way to port it to a 9630?

Downloading it now. I've never done an OS upgrade via OTA. Always done it via AppLoader or Desktop Manager. Hopefully it goes smoothly and doesn't take 3 hours. :-)

I just recently upgraded from a curve 8530 to a bold 9650 through Verizon and I'm irritated that Verizon hasn't released OS 6 yet. I am happy for you Sprint customers but I'm hoping that I can somehow access this desktop download next week. I talked to a Verizon employee whose only knowledge of OS 6 coming out officially for Verizon is Q1 2011, which can be as late as March... I feel that Verizon wants to get shafted when it comes to blackberry's, even the exclusive storm gets the short end of the stick when it comes to everything.

YESSSSS I LOVE SPRINTTT!!!!!! LETS GOOO 6.0 !!!!! DOWNLOADING AS WE SPEAK !!

so glad i upgraded to the 9650 from the 8530. best decision ive ever made!

just restoring the phone as i type this. cant wait to see if this is a quality os build.

Good news for you Sprint customers. I wonder if this will be able to be implemented into the 9700? I am tired of the buggy leaks as of late. Just downgraded to get a better version of UMA. They were terrible in the .418 and .380 leaks. Have fun and hope it is less buggy. Sometimes it is either or...even with officials. Good luck!

Another long time Sprint happy customer: Downloading right now!!!
Thank you Sprint.

Awesome. (Although this should have been rolled out 4 months ago)...

Very long download! Waiting already 45 minutes in these download.... at least I made the backup in my PC

Finally! Now I know what I'm doing this weekend besides Christmas.

Funny, I was tired of 6.0 laggyness ..

6.0.280 hybrid was the best , cuz .333 sucked major but NLG v2.2 fixed the memleak but it was getting slow after a few days with no reports and 270mb free mem weird right.

So I went to 5.0.0.1030 official thru my iMac at work and its so fast on 5.0 that I said forget about 6.0 till it becomes official and look at it now :)

330mb free with no shrinking either so I click the wireless update and shows up .415
im debating though .. I'm not really impressed with 6.0 on my 9650

Just finished my OTA upgrade, and I'm liking what I see so far. Took about 2 1/2 hours start to finish, and everything went smoothly. I've played with the Sprint Style a bit and am some what familiar with OS6, and this looks and feels just like it should. First thing I noticed is that all the apps I had installed before were still there after the update. Also some of the preinstalled apps like Pandora and Sprint TV, the icons were not correct. One thing I really like is being able to have the choice of how many rows of apps you can have on the main screen. There is only one theme delivered with the update, all the others I had were deep sixed. All my contacts and messenger settings were retained. All settings were retained, like ringtones, fonts, etc. All emails were still there. It seems snappier when switching between screens. So far I'm liking it.

Just dwnlded to my vzw storm 2...no wait I didn't...crap!

Does it have visual voice mail?

I'm so jealous I cant even describe. WHEN WILL VERIZON DO THIS??!?

Just woke up and saw this wealth of information. Outstanding Sprint ,way to go.its truly a great time of year where miracles happen. Thanks Sprint for the Christmas present os6.0.0.415 -Derrick

This is a great Christmas present. Does anyone know if there are backup files I can remove? I went from about 280mb available to 160mb... Not sure if the OS is taking all that or if there are some backup files from doing OTA update that I could remove... Thanks!

Updated my sprint 9650....took less than an hour start to finish! Have been playing with it for a couple hours now, seems like a really stable build so far...better than .280 imo, and much much better and faster that .333

Don't need to OTA guys.....https://www.blackberry.com/SoftwareD...ient=URNZcPHMm

NICEEEEE.
Downloaded and is now updating my 9650 on Verizon.

There IS A SANTA
Thanx Sprint I'll Be Waiting ....

I have Sprint 6.0.0.333. Downloaded update from above url. Blackberry Desktop software updated to latest version. After unpacking the new update, desktop manager detected the update without problem. Currently installing update straight from 6.0.0.333. Will let you know how it goes!

Thanks again Sprint for the Christmas present. No wonder only certain phones was able to recieve the update of os 6.0.0.415 it uses ALOT of phone memory. Is there anyone that lost album covers in there media files on there memory card during this update (I reinserted after the upgrade) . Still.... GOOD job SPRINT DERRICK

I hope 9300 Curve 3G owners will get some love soon :)

Ha Ha....look at the clock

I found this last night and did the update! Merry Christmas from Sprint!

So I was wondering if there was a way to upgrade to 415 from 333 without d/manager and doing everthing from my phone??

Getting the new OS 6 for Bold 9650...VERY COOL

Waking up to a pic of your phone on the crackberry frontpage... PRICELESS

Cheers.

So im bout to go to sleep last nite and i see that there is an os6 upgrade for my newly acquired 3G 9330, YES!!! Needless to say i wasnt hitn the sack before i rock it. so here is wat i have seen thus far; bout 2 1/2 hrs frm start to finish. all apps stayd and most of my settings. (btw this was OTA). everything seems much snappier and of course the visuals r just STUNNING! At early glance seems as tho there is better reception where previously i had worse. browser also loads a bit quicker and now can truly be a viable option where as before the native was worthless. i cannot accurately asses battery life being that i haven't yet completed a full day but it looks promising . all my apps seem to wrk properly. One gripe , although i fixed it, was a issue with the clickable clock/manage connections button on the main screen. if i scrolled down too quickly i lost my cursor and had to go back and reclick for it to return. but this was fixed after i did two battery pulls. All in all OS6 ROOOOOOOOOOOCKS! hope this was useful for sum1. REJOICE CRACKBERRY NATION!

NO VISUAL VOICEMAIL. WHAT GIVES, WHY ISN'T ON HERE

my 3G curve has it but i had it before the update so myb it stayed.

I downloaded the new 6.0 and installed it using my desktop software. It's like my BlackBerry underwent a transformation and is a whole new universe! VERY impressed, and I like the direction that Blackberry is headed in!!!

How bout a rollout for 8530 curve. I wanna see what all the fuss is about! I did get to upgrade to OS5.0.0.1030 don't know what the upgrade did but oh well. Maybe I just need a new phone.

I'm still getn the occasional freeze in the manage connections button on the home screen. Anyone else havn probs with that on 9330?
