- You have made a great choice to upgrade. Just remember your present themes will not work you will have to re-download them to the OS 6 versions. And questions reach out. Below I have a link that will show you exactly what you will need and what to do, it is easy and fun.

I'm sure I'll get used to the awful browser.
Besides one of the reason's I got the Bold was that it was upgradeable to OS6 and here I am twiddling my thumbs. It's time. Wish me luck02-08-11 07:35 AMLike 0 - pcgizmo#IMCrackBerry Ph.D.Does anyone know if I can install this new 6.0.0.46 on my 9650 Bold? I'm on TBayTel not Verizon.02-08-11 07:48 AMLike 0

Don't know for sure,updates for me always seem to be just a bit smoother. Hey, now I got an idea, why not come on in, the waters fine.
Seriously tho Pink, if your waiting for column view in the browser, you might as well wait for the moon to fall to earth 'cause I don't think it's happening. The next big thing will be 6.1 which will probably start to show up with the new releases scheduled for end of Q2. Still no column view is mentioned for those. I don't think RIM even has it on their future agenda as they are thinking of QNX after 6.1. So what if there's never a column view then? You just going to stay on good ol' 5 forever? As I've mentioned before I went back and forth many times before I decided 5 was just to crude compared to 6 even with it's lack of a column view. So just sayin' but people who sit on the fence usually fall off sooner or later.I agree Pink, if you're waiting for column view on BB 6 you're gonna have an awful long wait, it's not happening. This is what the browser is. Most of the time the browser is fine for me, CB is really the only site that I use Bolt for. Everything else about BB 6 more than makes up for a slight browser issue IMO. Go for it!

Right on Underway, it took 2 teams of mules to pull her over the threshold into BB6. I could hear the screams for her themes all the way from Texas!
And then the leaks began and I thought she was going to shoot each and every one of us, at least send Guido along for a knee job.

Still leaking, too...
2 hours...down 20 MB!
It will level off, but I dunno. Sometimes it keeps dropping right to -55MB...This refurb is fine. I hate to send it packing but do you think I should call VZW again and press the issue about a new device? I reboot every am and usually during the day at some point as well and things seem to work ok...
What do you guys and gals think?
idk jaydee, maybe a call to just have it on record and see how the next week goes and decide from there if you should refurb or not.02-08-11 07:57 AMLike 0 - Did I see shenanigans going on in the castle over night? LMAO!!
Skyboxer, how does this SMS thing help my memory leak? Or are you saying the new OS might do it? I am thinking I will try and load it on Friday night. I am like Bob and have some time coming up on Thursday when I will need my phone desperately and can't chance it not working well and being fully installed.
How's the browser? I like Bolt more every day!
I don't see any difference in the browser at all. You can view your bookmarks in thumbnail view now, but possibly it was there all along and I never noticed it because it wasn't the default view.
I've noticed an app conflict with weatherbug elite, and horrible battery life. Part of the battery life would be that the wifi is down at work so I was on 3G all night, but I'm wondering if the app conflict might have been eating battery too. I'm trying to reinstall the app now to see if the problems recur.

Text messages no longer switch to mms mode when over 160 char, even if its set to do so automatically. Dunno if that's a bug or something that was turned off on purpose for some reason. Maybe that will fix Jaydee's memory leak!
Not getting any data through wifi either, but I'm at work and the wifi here has crapped out before.

02-08-11 11:11 AMLike 0 - Nevermind! I contract out for the muscle in this thread! Besides Paulie Walnuts is already here...
Now about this SMS/MMS thing. Jim, is this doing the same on your phone? I really liked that feature.
And Jim, about your themes when you upgraded. Am I going to lose all my installed OS6 themes? I have 7 already. I don't want to have to download again.02-08-11 11:11 AMLike 0 -
I will, I'm sure!
@pcgizmo-I have lots of wonderful themes for 8330 that you can have for your Bold. I couldn't use them before because I didn't have enough memory but your Bold has plenty now so try them!02-08-11 11:28 AMLike 0 -
- PC, you said that you loaded the 466 leak, right? What source did you use for the leaked file? I grabbed it twice yesterday from two different sources (the only links in the initial post) and the archived files are different. One is 147MB, and the other is 144MB. Which did you use?02-08-11 11:41 AMLike 0

I used BB boss to do my shrinking and it did everything I checked off including the startup vid and VAD. It also removed BBM, oopps! I had to go back and reinstall it, so be careful what you have checked. The Boss worked as advertised this time, for whatever reason unknown it did not before.02-08-11 12:24 PMLike 0 - pcgizmo#IMCrackBerry Ph.D.PC, you said that you loaded the 466 leak, right?
