Instructions for installing on ANY carrier's 9700:
1. Download the above OS file to the PC then install it to the PC by running (double clicking) the file you downloaded.
2. Go to c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader and delete the file named "vendor.xml." Vista/Win7 users: In the apploader folder, simply click on "Compatibility files" to see the actual Vendor.xml file. Once you've got that - simply delete the vendor.xml file there (even if you've deleted or think you've deleted it in the folder previously) and voila, it will allow you to update to the newly installed OS!
3. Plug in BB and double click on "Loader.exe." It's located in the same place as the above vendor.xml file.

The process takes about 45 minutes to an hour depending on how much data you have to backup and restore during the process. Once it's done loading the new OS it will reboot (it may do this twice during the entire process.) You will see a black "BlackBerry" screen with a status bar for up to 20 minutes at a time while the DM says "waiting for initialization."
If, for some reason, you end up with a white screen with small icons and the number 507, simply connect to the PC again and run Loader.exe again, and it should load the OS to the device

Installed. It works flawlessly, faster browser.

However, I already found one bug: in the text message inbox, pressing "C" does not open the "compose new message" window. It opens the "search" box instead. RIM to note.

I don't have that issue - "C" works perfectly for me.

Is it better Steve? I'm on 6.0.0.480

[toocool49]

I did my weekly battery pull and... now "C" opens the new message window. Don't ask me why, all's well that ends well.

Installing now. One think that bugs me is the fact that if you have a newer generation of BBM than what comes with the OS, there's no option to skip the downgrade. I forces you to downgrade to the release that is bundled in the OS. I've noticed this in several of the past installs, not just 6.0.0.534

Speaking of BBM, 5.03 is now out for those interested...

Perhaps a bit, worth the effort to upgrade IMO. Although no release is perfect, they do usually get better on later releases.

Can someone who's upgraded to 6.0.0.534 tell me if visual voice mail is working in this release?

[toocool49]

Not that I know. Is it supposed to ?? How do you enable it ?

Not sure if its supposed to. TMO USA offers the visual voicemail service, so its carrier dependent. I believe some carriers strip out the VVM from the OS they release, as such its not always included.

Anyone on TMO USA try this release and can confirm if VVM is included?

Yes, I have AT&T VVM currently running

[Rixter]

I've found the battery life to be much better than on .461

Minor glitch is rendering of HTML texts. Some lines seem to overlap each other in some emails or on some websites.

Overall quite happy with this release

[joginder]

I will try this because x461 is giving me some "uncaught exception" and it comes up every time I restart the device. hope its resolved.
