BlackBerry OS 5.0.0.90 for the BlackBerry Bold has been leaked. This is not an officially released OS so make sure that you know what you are doing if you decide to try it out. We hear that it is a beast to downgrade back after you install it.
If you decide to give BB OS 5.0 for the Bold a go you can download it from the link below.

For those of you that regularly listen to Howard Stern you may have known that he has been auditioning new phones since last Tuesday. Stern has been a loyal Palm user for years but says that he is embarrassed to hold up his phone because it is “so old school”.
In a move (that is backfiring) to potentially capture celebrity buzz around the Pre, Palm sent a Pre to Stern to test out.
They’re going to show me the Pre and then take it away. They’re trying to build excitement for this thing. If people don’t buy this I don’t see how Palm keeps going.
From the title of this post you can probably guess what Stern decided to go with. He said that the lack of Lotus Notes support on the Pre was a deal breaker. I bet that a super popular long time Palm user publicly switching over to the BlackBerry Bold and talking about how great the Bold is on one of the most popular satellite radio shows right after saying that if the Pre doesn’t sell he doesn’t see how Palm keeps going, is the type of buzz Palm was going for.

BlackBerry OS 4.6.0.244 for the BlackBerry Bold has made it’s way online.
This is not an official release, so, if you decide to try it out, make sure that you have a good backup of your Bold and that you know how to revert to it if this version gives you any issues.

A BGR tipster sent in a screen shot of the home screen of an AT&T BlackBerry Bold running OS 4.6.0.219 and there is an icon for BlackBerry Visual Voice Mail. Now, the icon doesn’t work yet, however, we imagine that it is only a matter of time before AT&T offers a visual voicemail system on the BlackBerry Bold probably similar to what Verizon offers on the BlackBerry Storm.
My guess is that when BlackBerry Visual Voice Mail comes out for the Bold there will be a charge for it just like their is on the Storm. If you want to try out a free visual voicemail client for the BlackBerry you should check out VyMail.

It looks like The BlackBerry Storm isn’t the only BlackBerry that has updated operating systems popping on the net. OS 4.6.0.217 for the BlackBerry Bold has made its way online.
Like with the Storm, OS 4.6.0.217 for the Bold is not an officially released OS, however, if you want to give it a go anyway, you can download it here…

As you are probably already aware, quite a few BlackBerry devices, the BlackBerry Pearl Flip, the BlackBerry Bold, the BlackBerry Storm, and the BlackBerry Javelin, have already, or, are about to launch(ed) this fall.
By the end of Q4, Research in Motion will probably have sold quite a few devices. I am guessing more than they ever have in any single quarter to come before it. The big question, however, is which BlackBerry will come out on top?

For some strange reason than I cannot even begin to comprehend, AT&T decided to release the BlackBerry Bold on today of all days. There is that little presidential election taking that is expected to have well over 130 million people casting ballots, so, good luck AT&T on capturing any news cycles beyond gadget blogs… Brilliant marketing move…
Even though the BlackBerry Bold was just released today, it really isn’t the new BlackBerry everyone is talking about. The BlackBerry Storm is the device that really has people excited and rumor has it that it will be out in the next couple of weeks or so. Don’t get me wrong, the BlackBerry Bold will do extremely well on AT&T, but, I think that missed marketing opportunity and price will keep it from having BlackBerry Pearl / BlackBerry Curve type appeal.
That being said, I believe that if Verizon is smart about things, the BlackBerry Storm will cost less than the BlackBerry Bold. Waaaay Less… And if it does it will absolutely sell like mad.

Just like they said it would be, after the two or three other times that they said it would be, the BlackBerry Bold is now officially on sale on AT&T’s website.
As I’ve said before, the AT&T Bold is expensive. It will cost you 400 bucks up front but they do give you a $100 mail-in rebate that most people willing to shell out $399 will forget to mail in.
I won’t be surprised at all to see another $100 instant rebate or something tacked on to the Bold before the holidays…

AT&T Mobile CEO, Ralph De La Vega, was on CNBC this morning talking about tomorrow’s relesase fo the much delayed BlackBerry Bold.
De La Vega said AT&T is projecting record service revenues from the new BlackBerry around the world. He said the device is already generating record revenues in Japan and in other countries where it was introduced. He continued, “BlackBerry Bold is so powerful and fast, we are expecting it to replace PC use in many cases, and data revenues will far exceed the AT&T’s subsidy cost of marketing the device.”
It looks like AT&T is expecting to make money hand over fist with the BlackBerry Bold…
