The latest OS 247 is the best so far, and I have been going through all of them! I wish I got this OS when I unboxed my Bold a few months ago.
I definitely like it, only one thing is a bit annoying somewhere in between all the upgrades, the information on the media card when looking at stored videos, music, etc. do not come up so easily anymore but only via explorer,I have not figured out why they don't show my default...
I don't know if this has anything to do with this new OS, but with .247 I can no longer save the third party apps in a folder with the BB PIN by doing the first half of the "Switch devices" from one BB to another in the Desktop Manager. This is a neat trick I learned in some BB tips--doing this ahead of an OS upgrade creates an alx file with all the 3rd party apps with their cods, just in case the upgrade fails and you have to wipe the BB or start from scratch.
When I try to do it, it looks at all the apps, but doesn't copy them to the usual folder in the temps directory, nor create the folder, for that matter.
Less than 24 hours after upgrade and this is the only issues I have seen:
When reading some messages, display suddenly changes to 'Revese Contrast'. If I check it under 'Options-Advanced-Accessibility-Color Contrast' its still set at 'Normal'. Changing it to 'Reverse Contrast' will make it normal or rebooting the device will bring it to normal. This has happened 3 times so far in less than 24 hours.
Anyone else notice this?

Well, I upgrade it mine from 4...185 to 247, all apps r working fine and also no improvement occurred regarding application memory, the next couple of days will monitor performance & battery usage post my experience for whom wanna upgrade to this ver.
I'm using .247 from the beta that was released a week or so ago--I assume (?) it is the same as the official release.
I changed the "true" to "false" in the VVM alx file and unchecked the box, so it didn't load, and I get the voice mail notifications. Does anyone know or understand why AT&T doesn't support this function?
They are still on OS .167 so far as I can tell---I don't think they've ever upgraded it since I bought the Bold several months ago. What is their thinking? Are they just waiting for a super-stable new OS? Don't we have that in .247?
Yes att is still on .167.... still i looked all att for a newer one and no luckno change to .247 here
I did the mistake of forgetting to delete the vendor.xml :(!.
What would be the effect of this.
I am on a vendor that is licesned with Blackberry.
What can I do to restor my original vendor.xml?
3G on .247 is dropping as most people pointed out.
.244 worked great for me. Didn't really mind the .rem issue as not a heavy user of the media card.
How can I fall back to the .244 using the Blackberry desktop manager. Do not want to use the uploader as I do not want to re-activate my BES?
