US Cellular did not release OS5 for the 8330 Curve, and every time I see mention of OS6 on the Bold it says something to the extent "subject to carrier". So I'm wondering, will USCC even release OS6 for the Bold?
They probably will. The 8330 can't handle OS5, so that's why. They had an update for the Tour to OS5, so OS6 for the Bold seems promising...
Actually, the original 8330 (not the 8330m) CAN handle OS5. I loaded it onto my 8330 and it worked, but was fairly unstable once I re-installed more that a couple of my needed apps. That's when I up-ed to the Tour and handed down my 8330 with OS 5.0 to my little sister. She is still using it today, but because there was so little free memory after the install, none of the carriers ever offered it as an official release and RIM even pulled it from their OS 5.0 compatability list.

The Blackberry site has a download for OS5 for the 8330 so I assume there are some carriers who have it available. I would guess it'd really be pushing the phone pretty hard though and likely not much to be gained by it.
