IMHO AT&T will release the Bold with an older version of the OS. No one has every proven that changing the OS voids the warranty.
Given that Orange (UK) has stopped selling the Bold due to software problems, I personally would put the latest publicly released version of the OS on my Bold. I am not getting a Bold.
So now you have two totally opposite opinions
