Has anyone tried the Curve 8900 OS 4.6.1.250 update, is it worth it?

does this work on the 9530 or just the 9500?

Are there any OS upgrades for the bold? Right now i am running v4.6.0.167 (platform 4.0.0.157). If so where do i find them?

I was running 4.7.0.78 on the storm. It wasn’t a proper OS, the programs were lagged, the screen refreshes from landscape to portrait took a lot of time. I had to employ the battery pull about 3 times a day and I was getting all fed up with the device. I downloaded the 4.7.0.151 and it has sped up the storm and removed much of its lag. I found the following changes worthwhile to mention:

1. The phone seems quite responsive.
2. The programs start and stop faster.
3. The phone boots quicker.
4. The camera takes the snap instantly. For storm users this is a major relief since the camera used to take the snap about 5 seconds after you clicked it. Most of the times, the subject of the picture would move and you would get a completely different snap than what you had intended. 151 version corrects this …Yippie!
5. Typing on storm takes a bit of a practice for old bb users. It was a nightmare to make corrections, additions in an existing sentence. In this new version, there is a new weird panel sort of thing that shows up while making corrections or editing and it makes the whole exercise pretty simple.

How I upgraded:

1. Read 101 on crackberry regarding upgrade via Apploader.exe
2. Followed the instructions in the above article.

After the upgrade I found my emails were not saved and I lost them. I have a back up on gmail so nothing to worry about there. Contacts, data, SMS, et all were saved. All applications were installed. I just had to re-activate all the paid applications that require activation.
