I got the alert on my desktop software that an upgrade was available - to get OS6 - so should I download it or not? Thought I would come here to see if anyone loved/hated it first...you know kinda like when Windows releases a new OS...do I wait til the bugs are worked out, or get it now?

Are you sure that upgrade wasn't for the Desktop Manager 6.0 software?  I don't think that OS6 for the Bold has been released yet.  I just checked with my phone update function and it was not available.  FYI, I like the new DM6 software, it is easier to use  (bluetooth capable) and has more features.

Well Spiral...I could swear that it was OS6 but I will have to look into it to be sure...of course I am sitting here now and not getting the alert (figures!) so I'll have to be patient and wait for it to come back up...

I can assure you both that it's not the update for BB OS6. The update notification you got is only for Desktop Manager. This release has been widely documented and reviewed. You can confirm this on Blackberry.com/Desktop

As far as the OS itself... check the standard gamut of tech blogs (BGR, Crackberry, Engadget, Gizmodo). They'll post info about the OS6 release long before you see it officially from VZW. So keep your ear to the grinding stone. 

It's my prediction that OS6 will be released for the Bold/Storm 2 around October/November. So I'm not holding my breath.
