Hi all,

Orange have just notified me to download the above 4.6.1.206 as the preferred OS !!!!

Is this new or old ????

Thanks

where to get .206??

[charliec#CB]

Received a BLACKBERRY DEVICE SOFTWARE UPDATE NOTIFICATION email.
Clicked on the link and it updated my apps loader, followed by offering me a choice of 5 OS.. 3 of them were downgrades, my current .199 and preferred 4.1.6.206.
I updated the preferred and just rechecked the update manager and my old .199 is referred to as a downgrade now!!!

Can you give us a download link? Thx.

I am now operating v4.6.1.206 (platform 4.2.0.102)
Cryptographic v3.8.5.50a
Branding version 1.0.142.149

[charliec#CB]

PM me your email and i'll email you the email from Blackberry that should open up the link for you

[KurtisBertolami]

Hey I just pmed you , do you mind sending me the link as well?

[Phill_UK]

This is very strange for 2 reasons:-

1) Orange UK's latest official 8900 OS according to the BlackBerry Software Download site is still .101

2) Platform version 4.2.0.102 is the same for .199

.199 has the same platform and Cryptographic numbers (but not the same Branding Version) - does this make sense?

I got the same email I think, but it said new update 4.6.1, just logging on my pc now..

^ i was just thinking the same thing calles!?? EXPERTS and GENIUSES please help us!!! haha

[snoopy0011]

nothing happens when click the link.....

[Vicious_Cid]

PM me your email and i'll email you the email from Blackberry that should open up the link for you

I've opened up the link, which just directed me to "www.blackberry.com/updates". Doesn't made sense
Then it asks for my PIN for which they happily answered,, was not supported...

@L3e: Maybe you could give us a solid link to the download site.

Thx.

UPDATE: oh wait....there's something at the bottom....

[charliec#CB]

First thing i notice is;
My Today screen opened with no issues or delay, my icons for downloads, set up etc ALL have colour again bar Saved Messages. I also have the return of the Instant Messaging folder !!!

[calles]

Yep - I think it's a false alarm ...

Please advise how to do this and i will

charliec is as straight as they come, and wouldn't 'mess with us'

This is obviously an Orange UK only OS update, which looks pretty much the same as .199

Posted a photo to all those that PM me with my ABOUT screen indicating OS

Hey Phil ......thanks for the back up .

On my Desktop Updater it states that .199 is a downgrade now ..

The only diff i can see thus far are the folders and the Today screen has no probs reloading after batt pull>>

Could be Orange UK-specific update. Well, not much to do except to keep digging.

Funny that when you select different Global Locations (where you are) on the blackberry.com website, when you access the Updates page some asks for our PIN, and some don't. I just noticed when I selected North America.

Is it some new way of RIM distributing new OSes to their intended destinations? Just wondering.

[KurtisBertolami]

I was just wondering as I am eager to update to a new OS!!!
