Bolt Browser upgrade
I got an email this morning from Bolt, it said. “Thanks to the contributions of over two million beta testers like you, we are proud to announce that we’re officially dropping the beta tag with today’s release of BOLT 1.5.You will be automatically prompted to upgrade the next time you launch BOLT.Many of the most significant upgrades occur “under the hood,” but you are sure to notice the results – v1.5 is the most reliable, fastest browser we have ever released – more than 15% faster than Beta3.Other new features include the ability to stream videos of any length, a dedicated search bar, a download manager that downloads files directly from BOLT, improved navigation and text rendering, and a caching feature that enables browsing back to a previously visited page without waiting to reload.”
I downloaded the new version and it is faster, then I went YouTube, I was promted to run a wizard for Bolt to test my Video settings. Then the YouTube video played in the Bolt browser, it used to save the video before playing it. It still has issues a four minute video froze a lot, I then switched to WiFi and it was not much better playing the videos on YouTube.
I do like this browser a lot for normal web browsing but it still needs to work on video playback. The best so far is the Skyfire browser that works on my Blackjack 2 but still is not ready for Blackberry. Bolt Browser first trial

New Blackberry OS software upgrade
The software upgrade that I did for my Blackberry Bold fixed a few issues that I had with my Blackberry Bold.
http://mobilewiseguy.com/2009/06/12/blackberry-application-memory-leak-issue.aspx
I have more application memory, it gave me about 10 more megabytes of application memory. This additional memory stopped my Blackberry from resetting because the low memory.
My camera default email address that I use to send pictures is now working with the email address that I set as the default.
The browser works a little better on some pages like Wachovia.com and YouTube.
The Visual Voice Mail feature is ok but I have been using YouMail and I had Visual Voice Mail with their service and it has more features for free.
I also got some new games on my Blackberry Bold that I have not tried yet like Tetris. The main problems I had with my Bold have been fixed with this update. I did the wireless update at night before bed because it took about two hours to complete.
