    I upgraded my 9700 from OS5 to OS6 last July. I'm running bundle 2718 v6.0.0.615, platform 6.6.0.223. Its been going ok - most of the time. It frequently runs out of memory when using the browser, and reboots itself once a day or so, normally at very inconvenient times.

    Anyway I was thinking of downgrading to OS5 to get a stable OS back again that doesn't continually run out of memory.

    Just wondered if anyone can advise whether I'd be better off trying a more recent OS6 first?

    668 is the latest version of OS6 but you won't find it much different from 615.

    Did you shrink 615 prior to loading. If not, you are bound to be having memory problems.

    If you didn't shrink it, use BBoss to directly shrink it on the phone and see how you get on from there.

    Personally, I would never go back to OS5.

    Yes, I did shrink it, and took out all teh bits I didn't want.

    I was thinking I could probably lose BBmessenger though, as I never use it. I think thats quite big isn't it?

    Yes I remember it as being very stable and reliable. I frequently had loads of apps running at the same time with no hangs/reboots required.

    I use it for playing music in the car alot. Keep finding music goes quiet all of a sudden. Pick the phone up (while driving) to see that its rebooting - again! Very annoying as have to stop, pull over and set it playing again.

    Can't remember the exact size of BBM but I also got rid of it because I never use it. I think it saved quite a lot of free space.

    Search the forums for BB Boss. That's how I found it.
