I hear Vodafone has announced it was released OS6 later this month.
That was from someone on crackberry though.
More than likely just a rumor as they mentioned 3UK had done the same.
Im waiting for my internet to be turned on to test .424 out.

Just download OS 6 from Essar Vodafone, and its running beautifully, and I have vodafone live and such on there too. Some apps don't work as they're not compatible, but most do. I'll let you know if it all goes pear shaped!

Hmm... I've plugged my 9700 in and it hasn't offered a device update.
It's not a Vodafone branded device (came from a CPW) and I'm using Blackberry Desktop Software 2.0.0 for Mac. Any suggestions?

Mine just updated to OS6 - very impressed so far. The only thing that's a bit of a pain is that it didn't save (or at least) restore certain customisations (icon arrangement) and third-party app settings (eg BeBuzz LED Colour Customiser). But hey, you can't have evrything!

I've now tried it on a Windows PC with the latest version of BBDM installed; still no update can be offered.
Have also looked on the RIM download site for Vodafone UK -- again, no version 6.
Any suggestions?

I've got OS6 installed, it the latest beta version directly from Blackberry beta zone.
Frankly it sucks. Hardly any free memory. Battery life is a joke.

how are you downloading this update i have tried the wireless update on the handset and also tried through blackberry desktop?
I connected the BB to my PC, ran the BB Desktop Software, clicked on Device and checked for updates, and it came up.

You sir have no idea about blackberry.
OS is a great update. The ability to move onwards and add new stuff is better i.e. 6.1 which is being released with the new range phones (Bold Touch etc).
The visual difference is more than enough to upgrade. OS looks sharper more up to date and what you would expect to see when getting a decent handset regardless of RIM using outdated hardware (changes for the new range, cannot wait
) but the possibilities are endless.
The browsing experience has been enhanced and upgraded.
The fact your claiming the OS sucks , just shows your lack of knowledge in a blackberry device.
Any upgrade is a step forward.
As for your comment regarding the memory is low then if you had done any research you would know of an app that shrinks your OS, freeing up more memory. Its call BBoSS OS Shrinker 1.1 - Search on crackberry.com for it.
If you have a considerable amount of 3rd party apps that could also be a reason for your memory to be low as developers dont take the device optimizing into consideration and therefore some apps will work better than some with some causing major memory leaks.
I've been running the OS for almost 3 days , music been on at work and class easily for 2-4 hours + extensive bbm, facebook and sms and a few 20min phone calls to my gf on the way home. I still somehow have atleast 40%. 30 mins charge brings me back up to 80%
Sounds like your just trying to make the OS6 seem bad.

After waiting many, many months and resisting the temptation to DL from other sources [cracker / Essar / Germany etc] I was delighted to find tonight a download on the BBDM - Completed in about 25 minutes.
Experience so far is - well, brilliant and so worth waiting for. Smooth, smart and the Browser is a massive improvement. Will take some time to get things organised, but it is nice to have a nice new choice of walpapers and far easier to load.
Impressed so far and Thank You Vodafone.

I've just updated my Bold 9700 to OS6 and love the look of it. There are a couple of things that I'm having difficulty with.
Main one is that I can't get Documents to Go to work. Opening any of the applications tells me it isn't compatible with OS6 and directs me to the Dataviz website but that then prompts me to install the same version of the software!
I'm also not that impressed with the limited array of ringtones but that's not a real problem for me.
Any ideas?
