    I also got this e-mail, but I believe that it was a notification for my previous BlackBerry 9630 Tour. I am not sure why it would send me a upgrade notice for my old phone, but since my 9650 Bold is not showing any updates I believe this must be the case.

    I was hoping that this was the OS 6 notice for the Bold, but it seems not to be the case. I would have taken any update though, since my current version 5.0.0.983 is causing constant auto-restarts. I was hoping, but alas not to be.

    Maybe a back log from RIM when Sprint released 5.0.0.983 before?

    I have received update emails weeks after OS has been out before...

    Same here minus the leaked 6...I'm still with the .699 and no notifications on the DM, device or via email about the later versions. I didn't update the last release b/c so many users said they didn't think it did much of anything so I figured I would sit tight and hope for 6 to be released soon.

    NP. I was excited when I got this email, and completely disappointed when I got home. As someone else stated, it showed that I had OS 6.0.0.333 installed, and that it recommended OS 5.0.0.699. Boring.
