It’s good to be back from my vacation. Thanks to Iko we have a new Bold OS to share with you all. OS 4.6.0.194 has started floating the interweb. I have not had a chance to confirm it but I have heard from at least one source that it is legit. For some reason the link is showing a 4.5.0.194 as the application version but that may just be a screw-up. The installer says it is for the Bold OS 4.6 so it is probably just a typo. Let me know.
You can find it at this link currently:

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.

This is the worst OS update in a while. There is a blue blob over the clock and the browser font can’t be changed from BBMillbank.

Thanks for the tip off Jeero. I downloaded the OS but had not installed it as yet. Saved me time and headache.

there is a blue blob over the clock but it is in the top right corner – not a big deal. I’ve been running it for an hour or so and it seems to be fine for me.

Just my impression from reading about .194 in a few of the forum over the past ocuple of weeks, it seems to offer no advantage over .190, but, it definitely has some bugs and disadvantages , I hear RIM already has a .201 – that’s a big enough jump to wait for

Wait for .201 – if you need to be current stay at .190 and no higher. The web experience is bad and the bedside mode does little to hide that ugly little blue rectangle

Does this version has chinese and other east asian languages like Korean and Japanese?
Anybody else have a blop on their clocks after updating this like Jeero?

Works great. Besides the alarm issue and the browser font, the battery life is improved a bit (10 hours instead of 8) and you get another extra 5-10 MB of memory. installing epocrates usually ended up in clogging my memory, but not with this version it didn’t.
I have no doubt that .201 would be better when it comes out.
