A few days ago I downloaded the latest version of Desktop Manager (4.7) offered to me by a direct link from the O2 UK site to the RIM download area.
I then updated my phone s/w to the latest official version also (4.6.0.266!), with no apparent problems.
A few minutes ago, a window popped up offering me a "BlackBerry Automatic Update" to Version 5.0.0.11 (298MB), which I am in the process of downloading and installing now.
From this I gather that this latest version is now 'officially' recognised by O2... or by RIM, at least.
I know that later versions of the OS for my Bold are also available, but I prefer to stick with the 'official' ones!

Reason: More details added.
You're updating your DESKTOP MANAGER software - the current version is 5.0.0.11; not your device software.
Yes, I am fully aware of that thanks... I obviously didn't word my message too well.
It was just that I wasn't aware that this version of the desktop software was now 'official', but there again I don't follow the BlackBerry world as closely as I used to!
