That's the newest official AT&T OS AFAIK. There is a newer OS, official through Vodafone, .266 in a sticky at the top of the fourm. Some people, including myself, swear by it.

Check out the "Bold" dedicated forum. There have been about a dozen official, and a thousand unofficial OS upgrades since the one that you have (no worries - that is the newest OS that Rogers and AT&T have put out). Everything you need to know can be found in that forum. You will notice a significant improvement in the performance of your Bold.
Give it sometime to get your head around the device and upgrade when you feel comfortable. In the mean time, read through the forum and checkout the bb 101 lecture series.
Congrats on your bold and Welcome to CB!

If you update too quickly, and something acts up, you won't know if it's related to the upgrade or a defect with the new phone.
which is irrelevant since upgrading the phones software has no effect on the warranty. so upgrading and having issues, you can always revert back to the factory OS version. and no matter what the version, the phone will still be replaced under warranty regardless of the OS.
go ahead and update. i did not far after taking my phone from the box. no issues.
Whats the difference between 4.6.167 and the new one?
.266 is more stable, quicker, allows for the shortcut of pushing and holding the BB button to go into app switcher, frees up alot more memory....etc. just overall a much better OS. .167 blows compared to this. im glad i upgraded.

Im going to try and upgrade now, I Hope i dont mess anythnig up.
Upgraded, everything seems fine...I noticed new apps such as mobile banking, my cast weather, wikimobile and etc.
Is there any way to delete them?
Also new games and visual voice mail.
Does this come with the new os i assume?
Those are not applications, but shortcuts for you to get them which you usually have to buy. You can get rid of them by deleting their corresponding service book entries, but they will come back. Create a folder called whatever you want (mine is AT&T Crap), put all of them in that folder and then hide the folder. Visual VoiceMail doesn't work and you will need to take care of it or it will cause you problems with your VoiceMail. Here is the article on how to take care of it: Visual VoiceMail Fix.
yea fixing the VVM was no problem. you just go into it and find the file, open it up in wordpad and change the value. then save it. it was so simple. i recommend stayin on .266 and just fixing the VVM. you need to adjust the file and save BEFORE you load the OS to the phone. so you may need to reinstall it.
