**Robbeane** · 08-19-2009, 09:41 AM

Seen this a few min ago, not a Bold owner..but figured someone would like it...my question is with Blackberry Visual Voicemail wonder if it will come to the rest of us (8900/8310)...

4.6.0.508 Official for Blackberry 9000 AT&T

I just removed the VVM from my .282 installation since it doesn't work anyway and I'll definitely be removing it from this new one also, I don't see the point in it. I also don't see the point in forcing it on us without the option of disabling or removing it (or all of the other worthless AT&T bloat garbage also for that matter).

If this is real and actually happens, it will be great.

sounds cool, hopefully rogers comes out with an update soon too

**JasW** · 08-19-2009, 10:32 AM

.508 seems quite a jump from .282, seeing as we've been slowly building up from .167 over the last nine months. No interim versions, and no beta versions were leaked? And 4.6? What happened to 5.0?

**jmore** · 08-19-2009, 10:33 AM

maybe ist me. but i can't seem to find the .508 anywhere on AT&T. All i see in the software package version of .438. Can anyone else confirm?

.508 is probably the package version.

**jmore** · 08-19-2009, 10:35 AM

Hey, CX...

So, is this OS an improvement over the .282 I'm running now? I mean, should we wait or load now?

**Crucial_Xtreme** · 08-19-2009, 11:00 AM

Load now? Didn't know it was out?? Yes its better than .282. Not leaps and bounds, but its better.

Oh crap...my bad. Didn't read it wasn't out until the 25th. Oh well...it'll be my little birthday present to me!

So, does this mean that AT&T will officially be provisioning Visual Voicemal for the BlackBerry with the release of this OS?

Not with the AT&T OS you can't NO, but other OSs do offer that option.
