It has felt like an eternity for any OS love for those with a BlackBerry Bold 9700. Now OS 5.0.0.938 has dropped, which is a fairly decent step up from the last OS 5.0.0.862! We've also been told that this could possibly be the last OS 5 release before we see OS 6 for the 9700.

ok solved do it from the application loader wizard and not from desktop manager.
9700 with new F/W is on!
Installed the new OS and have used it for a few hours. At this point I don't notice any differences aside from freeing up about 9 megs of app space. Maybe I will stumble across something in the next few days...on a positive everything works fine. Please bring me OS 6....if it doesn't come soon my obsessive compulsive behavior will drive me to the 9780!
error message: update could not continue missing amercan english files, and installation stopps> any luck guys? current F/W 5.0.0.862
How did you do the update, because i apparently can't perform the update through desltop manager. Any suggestions?
youre probably using an iphone...
same here.... don't know what you're talking about
im always on 3g and never had a random reboot
ffs where is 6.0 ?!?!?
Does it improve the connection stability? 3G / EDGE handoff sucks in every previous version. It's a 3g phone which is only usable with EDGE only - unless you're a fan of random reboots.. ;)
I Installed the new OS a few hours, I have noticed as well that I have about 13mb of free app space available. The lock screen is a little different, and I don't know if it is just me but everything does fell to work a little smoother and maybe even a little faster. I guess it will have to do for now hoping for the new OS6 soon!!
If by some chance the link I provided earlier doesn't work go to the link below, select English -> Faq and there should be a link in the first sentence that will direct you to that page.

Hi guys, I'm not sure if this is correct but I've found version 1149 for the Bold 9700 when I was looking for OS upgrades for my carrier (Wataniya Telecom Kuwait).

Can someone confirm whether or not this is newer than 938 as I'm not too sure on the way version numbers are assigned.

D2k, that's version .680
it has nearly been 100 minutes and still waiting for it to upload ram image!!!
Never had reboots with my 9700, but I know where Cedric is coming from. I can't get 3G service in my house; my wife has a Motorola Cliq (Android) and never had 3g problems- also, cannot make phone calls from my office with 3g turned on
4 day 24/7 till now new firmware looks very stable. OS 06 is dearly expected!
The download links no longer work...any updated, working links? TIA
same for me... all the links are broken... =(
It's been 5 days with new OS .... more stable 3G signal, good battery consumption, takes more than 5 mins to reboot!
