att_bold_updateYou may recall Simon’s post yesterday about an impending OS update for the AT&T BlackBerry Bold. Well, just as a quick update for the AT&T Bold users out there, the new OS is indeed available. The update brings things up to 4.6.0.297, and delivers a few nice new features. Most importantly, AT&T’s visual voicemail is built-in! Yep, finally our American BlackBerry Bold users can now partake in the joy that is visual voicemail, something we’ve actually had up here in Canada on the Bold for some time now (on Rogers).

To get started with the update head to your Settings > Advanced Options > Upgrade. This should get you started if you’re on AT&T. If you’re not, delete the vendor.xml file before you start, and hit up this link for the download.

    I downloaded the visual voicemail on my BB Bold, but when I click the application, it tells me that provisioning failed and to contact my service provider. I contacted the wonderful people at AT&T and asked them to reprovision my BB and they told me it is already provisioned. I just love talking with them.

    I downloaded the update … texting doesn’t receive messages! Just sends them. Media synch no longer uses third party software and is a step backward.
