I used to have all sorts of network problems with my AT&T Blackberry Bold. 3G and Edge would continuously switch back and forth anytime the Bold would access the network. Even WiFi would inexplicably just hang. This was a known radio/firmware bug that essentially rendered my Bold browser and other network-intensive apps basically unusable (including Oomble!).


Last month, AT&T released a firmware upgrade for the Bold and today, I upgraded my AT&T Bold's firmware by simply going to Settings->Advanced Options->Wireless Upgrade on the Bold. My Bold automatically upgraded its firmware to Package Version 4.6.0.438 consisting of Applications version 4.6.0.167 and Software Platform version 4.0.0.217 . I already had 4.6.0167 for applications, but did not have 4.0.0.217 for my software platform. This upgrade in software platform has finally made my Bold's network completely stable and has turn my Bold into the device that it is supposed to be!

Oomble now works beautifully on the Bold both on 3G and WiFi! If you are an AT&T Bold Oomble user, I strongly recommend upgrading your Bold firmware to 4.0.0.217 (it's so easy - just do it from the phone itself!).
