Sweet!!! Thanks,it seemed like forever since the last one

[arab305]

nice list of fixes kevin

[cpetersen2791]

Downloading now...always have fun nuking my berry with new OS'

[needforspd]

Loaded it up and so far so good ...

[redline80]

Seems pretty laggy.Especially with myfaves.The icons for your favs hardly ever show up.It just shows the circle with a hourglass timer in it.Even when you turn it off and just make a call to one of your favs you get the same thing,just an hourglass next to the number.Even going from folder to folder in the menu is laggy.I had to wait on occasion 10-20 secs for my pics to load from my sd card.Other than that,no real error messages.I may go back to .180 though.

[prjoni99]

Does it still have that issue with T-Mobile where the Messages application will crash with MyFaves when getting an SMS?

[conceptv]

not sure if this could be from the os or not, but my phone cannot get onto edge anymore. it keeps go back to GPRS and sometimes even GSM! that's pretty bad. i do notice a slight lag in this OS as well.

EDIT: i have downgraded back to official build .236, and i got my stable EDGE signal back. i am sure it is the beta causing it to stay in gprs mode for me. weather remained the same and i doubt it was the cause as my brother's phone been getting great reception in the house.

KNOWN FIXES in OS 4.6.0.259

This section lists fixed issues from build 4.6 release 375 to build 4.6 release 446 for Platforms 4.1.0.98 and 2.4.0.86, and BlackBerry� Applications version 4.6.0.259.

Killer find, Kevin! This is the first bugfix list I've ever seen for a BB release.

Based on the filenames of previous OS releases, it would seem this list itemizes all of the fixes since the 4.6.0.222 release. The Cincinatti Bell 4.6.0.222 release bears the filename 8220M_PBr4.6.0_rel375_PL4.1.0.80_A4.6.0.222.exe .

Nope, wouldn't suggest a Beta unless you're willing to invest the time if it gets bricked. I suggest .180 or .222. You'll find the links in the Pearl flip section.
