    I don't believe that OS 6 will run on a 9900/9930.

    He meant OS 6.1, which is basically the first stages before getting renamed to OS 7.

    And for the op, I don't suggest you should... Just stick to OS 7.1

    Why would you want to? I thought even the earlier versions of OS7 gave more problems than 7.1.

    There were 6.1 leaks a while back (and I do mean a while!). While I don't think anyone would recommend doing it, it is possible to load it onto a 9930.

    Surely there would be an issue as it was designed for a non touchscreen phone, ie the bold 9780??

    6.1 was the predecessor to OS7.0 and it was designed for touchscreen phones, not the 9780

    Better yet, I'll trade you my 9650 for your 9930! Then you'll have OS6!

    There are no benefits of doing that, you would be running an early developer only build, I think even when the 9930 was first put on demo it was running an o's with 7.x only the very early ones still in Canada were 6.1

    Originally it wasn't gonna bump to 7 as it wasn't that much of an increase but the new phones had such a leap in processing power they could do what RIM chose to call liquid graphics, and since java is getting ditched anyways they went ahead and bumped the first digit for marketing purposes.

    But I digress, no good reason to downgrade your phone dude.
