I just disabled the media card support, reformatted the card. That seemed to fix it.

I think I have isolated the problem! Data! After turning off the Data services, and reboot the device the clock icon will not appear. I did the same for 2G and 3G, and each time if Data is turned on the problem starts. You also just can't turn off Data after reboot if you have already selected it. You must deselect Data, and reboot.

But that doesn't solve the problem. What's the point of having a Blackberry without Data service?

I was trying to send a pic using TwitterBerry (beta 4) with the TwitPic function and somehow during sending, either it lost connection or it got corrupted, and ever since then the clock icon appeared. It seems like there was a "command" leftover for Data to send some data and when it could not find TwitterBerry (I deleted it as soon as the problem started as it was the last software I installed), it goes into this crazy cycle.

Is it just me or do I have this sneaking suspicion that the Bold isn't quite ready? I mean I read that Orange UK pulled it off the shelf demanding RIM sort it out before they start reselling it. I think I am going to be less adventurous with installing new software with the Bold. Unlike the Curve, I NEVER had any of this problems; and I think it all comes down to a stable OS in the Curve. The Bold? I can see why AT&T is taking so long to launch it. I just hope this is a software and not an inherent hardware problem.

The problem is usually an app that isnt working properly with your os
My problem was the facebook app.
I went through and deleted all my apps and reinstalled one by one to find the problem over a couple fo weeks
I havnt had the problem since i have been running the .162 OS though

I would also ask ... how many files do you have on your media card? I see this on every OS upgrade. I have to remove the media card, delete all the bbthumbs.dat files, put the media card back in and do a hard reboot. Then I let the thing sit for at least an hour. Why? I have over 1500 files on my media card and it takes a while for the indexes to re-build. If you start messing with the media card while this indexing is in process, it can get corrupt and you have to start all over.

My new process for upgrading the OS is to remove the media card until AFTER the Enterprise Activation is complete and I do a full re-boot. Once all the upgrade processing is complete, then I load the media card and watch TV for a bit while the Bold builds the indexes. This process worked very well for the upgrade from .162 to .167
