    NOW, MY AIM IS TO PUT IN ONE PLACE (THIS THREAD) OPINION OF ALL BB USERS THAT CARE, WHICH VERSION OF BOLD 9700 SOFTWARE SO FAR IS/WAS THE BEST AND WHY?

    REASON? COS I WANT TO PUT THAT VERSION ON MY PHONE AND ENJOY IT AS BLACKBERRY SHOULD BE ENJOYED.

    how many more threads are there going to be like this????

    Try them out for yourself and make your own decision. There is no way you will get 1 conclusive answer here.

    This thread is a waste.....

    at&t. using 5.0.0.296 (bold9700) because it works with my honda accord 09 hands free link. later sw versions (5.0.0.645) did not work beyond simple pairing (no contacts etc). so I guess this version will be on my phone for awhile. other then very occassional screen freezes and laggy tracking, i am pleased with the phone. i have seen in another thread more specific to these issues that later sw versions did not fix those problems anyway.

    where do i start?
    1)sms bug, all the smses come under first one that came and all appears to be from same person.
    If i want to send sms regardless of to whom i address it it goes to the same person that first sms came from
    2) the phone it's hanging and slow to response on any command
    3) tones mixed up, went defult, or just went silent
    4) people can't get me by calling or i don't receive smses from them

    sim did you try a soft reset or battery pull??? not every bb is the same so some os upgrades work better then others... if the problem continues downgrade back to .321

    i'm on .423 with no problems .296 -.405 -.423

    WHICH VERSION OF BOLD 9700 SOFTWARE SO FAR IS/WAS THE BEST AND WHY?
    The one your carrier installed on your device because they know their network the best and customized their OS to be the bext option for your phone.

    Also all these other OS releases are all minor tweeks and generally not worth the time to change to.

    If it ain't broke, don't need to fix it.
