Quit a jump, and yet ATT STILL hasn’t released on OS 5.0 for the Bold. Sad.

yeah I wouldn’t count on them doing so, rumors have it they are releasing a 4.6 update, pretty lame.

AT&T will “officially” release 5.0 when RIM has released 6.xxx! AT&T is so backasswards – IMO!

It would be nice if RIM would change the lock function back to the way it was or to something else. The mute key is not working for me. Us Bold users know what a pain it can be. It worked fine for a while there and then it kept getting worse and worse until now I just don’t lock my phone now.

Totally agreee with Claye, if anyone knows how to change the key for unlock, please help. Mute key is absolutely inconvenient.
Should enhance this function in the next version.

Hold down the A Key to lock and then push the MUTE Key to unlock.

I know how to lock it. Its the unlocking that is messed up. Over time the Bold mute key will not work as it once did. I have to press it 10 or more times to get it unlocked or press really hard with my nail or some other sharp object. Its not me, its the mute button.
