Secret Agent 3.14 & Kevin over at CrackBerry spotted OS 4.6.0.217 floating around online for the Bold. Just as an FYI: you may want to wait it out since it looks like 4.6.0.224 is right around the corner according to what I have been hearing…
There is a great conversation going about the new OS on CrackBerry Forums at this link.
Thanks to Terry & David for also sending this one in!
Let us know what you find in the new OS versions in the comments below. Keep the tips coming!
NOTE: Do not install this software if you do not know what you are doing. It may make your BlackBerry FUBAR or just plain angry.

Lol point taken. I just didn’t know if it was looking more like a day, week, or month.

I just love 4.6.0.217, so far the best OS ever installed on my bold. Since i went down to 10% for backlight i easily run my bold 2 days with lots of background processes like viigo, socialscope and so on…

Hands down..the best OS yet
Improvements: Battery, battery and battery.
Snappy: no lags at all from not using.
Heat: related to battery, very cold when not in use, so the battery definitely lasts.
Lacks in:
Media player: volume control doesn’t save last volume level
Doesn’t change to full screen after using the track ball by itself
3G: I noticed it drops to EDGE easier than other OSs I had installed
Recommendation: Get it if you are aware of these issues and they are not of any concern.
