Let me begin by saying I hope, I really hope, that AT&T releases their version of OS 6 for the Bold 9700. Ever since I got my Torch 9800 I couldn’t wait to get OS 6 on my Bold 9700. Since the 9700 has such a small screen in comparison to the Torch, the new browser [...]

It’s of little consolation to those of us with Storms and will not be getting any updates, but for the rest of you, this should be welcome news.  A sharp-eyed CrackBerry reader, spotted this BlackBerry 6 upgrade guide in a Verizon store.  Inside the guide (screenshots below) are instructions on how eligible phones will be [...]

Eariler today, BlackBerry Cool released a presentation from RIM to developer groups highlighting the new APIs in BlackBerry 6.  Most of it we already know: the emphasis is on integration.  It also looks like RIM is promoting the use of BlackBerry maps more, so maybe BlackBerry Maps will actually be worth using soon.  There is [...]

Earlier this week, RIM updated the App World to allow developers to say their apps support BlackBerry 6.  While it did a lot to excite the masses, I immediately thought that it was a bit premature seeing as they haven’t let developers test their apps on BB6 yet.  When OS 5 came out last year, [...]

With all the talk of the 9800 and Storm3 and the 9670 clamshell, people have been wondering how BlackBerry 6 will work on the standard BlackBerry form-factor that still remains popular.  I’m sure it didn’t help when images of the 9300 leaked out running 5.0 instead of BlackBerry 6.  Over the last 24 hours, the [...]

This could be the stop-beating-around-the-bush-and-release-something-already event that we have been waiting for.  Invited have gone out to an AT&T/RIM press event on Tuesday, August 3rd at 11am in NYC.  As if it weren’t clear enough from the rumors swirling around for months now, the icons and font that they’ve selected for the announcement make it [...]

Reports are coming in that Verizon Wireless has set the End-of-Life on the Storm 2 9550 and the Curve 2 8530 for next month.  Check out this information from BBLeaks: BlackBerry Curve2 (8530): The Curve2 is end of life – Final Shipments August Refer to the “Stock Check” tool in POS for on hand availability [...]

I know there are some people (OK… most people) who want RIM to stop talking about BlackBerry 6 and just release it already.  I completely agree with you, but I think their recent work of introducing us to the features in-depth is the next best thing.  One of the issues that I’ve heard about with [...]

With all of the BlackBerry 6 information swirling around lately, it’s easy to miss something.  For your sanity, as well as my own, I’ve made this post of all the information that I know.  I’m also working on a new BlackBerry 6 SuperPage that I’ll try to keep updated with new information as we learn [...]

Today, possibly in response to some leaked out this week, RIM has posted an in-depth look at the new media features in BlackBerry 6.  Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think this is the first time that RIM has come out and actually talked about features in their new software release.  I’ve posted the [...]
