Blackberry OS 6 released for VZW Curve 3G 9330 and Bold 9650

[FONT=&quot]I just loaded it up on a 9650. Going to take a while to get used to and make a decision on if I like it or not. But fast is better when it comes to BB, especially with web browsing.

I like that the 'Today' screen is back if you click the notification bar. In BB5 they took the 'Today' themes out of the default OS, it was annoying.

Web browsing not fast(er)

Home screen scrolling is too easy to jump left and right into other categories (favorite, frequent, etc.)

Multi-language version not available for Bold yet.

Sounds and wallpaper were reset after the upgrade using desktop manager.

Selecting the time and getting all radio, alarm, and network options is nice.

Global search works great.

Only search engines available for the browser are Bing, Wikipedia, and dictionary.com. (I thought Verizon was getting rid of this Bing only crap)

Youtube app works, sort off. Sounds was a bit choppy while trying out an AIC video.

if any of the modern ones came without a camera so i could upgrade, i'd probably care more about this.
