Quite a few secret agents sent in links to the Bold OS 4.6.0.215 over the weekend. Since I am a Sabbath observing Jew I was away from my computer and email and did not see them. Thankfully a Secret Agent (aka Payroll) sent another link later on in the day that works. No idea what this version fixes but I am sure you will figure it out. 🙂
Bold 9000 OS 4.6.0.215: 9000AllLang_PBr4.6.0_rel366_PL4.0.0.184_A4.6.0.215.exe
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.

Been using it for a few days. Definetely an upgrade from .190 or .210, but not much of a difference from .214.

I also have seen an improvement from both .190 and .210 but .214 and .215 seem almost the same to me…

This version (IMHO) is a huge downgrade from 4.6.0.214. It rendered the gps inactive and it was just plain bugged out. There is nothing more sad in life than a firmware roll back.

215 is No Good. Restart itself many times if using 3G environment.

Still there is a trouble in Japanese input (display is ok.)
With .214, I cannot select Japanese input even if software package is installed. With .215, I cannot install Japanese package to my Bold (not appeared on “Application” list), even if I selected on AppLoader.
Anybody see working Japanese input with .214 (or .215)?
Since .214 has a fix on date display (in Japanese) on home screen, I’d like to use it.

Does anybody have a different link to download this from? The rapidshare link takes forever to download the file… 🙁
Thanks…

My experience…Overall the phone ran faster. Haven’t tried much on the other stuffs, couldn’t find any issue so far (48 hours after installation). The only problem is my Thai Font. Font size is inconsistent, some very big and some small. In some web page, couldn’t read at all.

I’ve upgraded from .214 to .215, and then rolled it back to .214 again.
There are only two differences I could see, and that’s why I rolled it back:
1) The speakerphone now suffers from massive acoustic feedback. I’d seen comments about feedback on different versions in the past, but I’d never witnessed it until .215. Going back to .214 made it perfectly stable again.
2) While playing a video, pressing the trackball brings up the menu, but it would not revert to full-screen after a few seconds as it would with .214. To get full-screen back with .215, you’d have to hit the space bar to pause, then space bar again to restart. Too inconvenient, as I frequently hit the trackball to see where the clip is in time.
Apart from that, I can’t see any differences, so .214 it is for the time being.
