Starting to worry about my 9700, but we'll see>

Now I am sure that 9700 will never get OS6.
But I hope it gets web kit browser.

If my 9700 will get BlackBerry6, great. If not; I'm getting this. Either way is fine with me. I just want the upgraded OS.

Hello Social Feeds!

im not a fan of touchscreens and love my full physical qwerty but i think i will end up getting the storm 2 ubdated version because i really want Blackberry 6 and it just doesnt have the same effect on this :/

I like this phone.

:D

Well at least we know full qwerty is coming with os 6. I hope us Canadian customers are not having to wait until December. This needs to drop already enough of the build up already. I have the 9700 now if 9780 is required for a fully functional OS 6 then ill buy it no questions. Looks great, RIM is about to eat food in the market.

Doesn't look too bad actually... was worried about OS6 on non-touchscreens, but looks like RIM did a good job of integrating it with the trackpad in mind... Will this lure me away from my iP4?? We shall see... Will have to contend with the 9800 as well... ;)

Loving the quick access to manage connections, alarm, etc with the top "bar"...

...Not impressed with the Home Screen icons...they are huge and in the way of everything. All and Search get in the way too. Not a fan of the Home Page at all.

I really enjoyed the video, it answered the one question that I had and now knowing that I will soon(I hope) have the os on my 9650 is just awesome.

Looks like I might have to change the way I use my 9650. I've always been a big user of shortcut keys to access messages, browser, and bbm. The new notification area and social feeds will likely mix that up a bit, but different is what everyone wants right?

I like. A lot.

I need to see a LOT more from that browser to make an evaluation. I wasn't impressed by all of the white blank screening it did during opening driphter.com..........

My friends got the device just yesterday. place in Mississauga that's selling them already. OS is 6.0.0.140, runs good to from what hes telling me and hes on the Rogers network with it.

Its neither BB OS nor BBM nor BIS nor security …..that made me hold onto my present BB bold. The only reason is that I could not find any other phones with qwerty in BB form factor (esp Bold). I hate sliding keyboards. I always wonder why other mfg do not make phone similar to bold……esp from android maker. I always wanted android as my OS on my bb. Finally samsung galaxyQ is on the way to fulfill my wish……1gh processor, 512 dedicated RAM, 8 mp camera, android 2.2, optical track pad, 3" touch-screen with BB style keyboard…..Hellooooo RIM ……Did you hear that?? Can't wait to see this monster!

BBM: I do not use anymore as all my frens jumped into android & iphone wagon.
New OS6: Still way behind android & other smart phone platform.
BIS: This is expensive plan and not available everywhere….esp I travel to china frequently
Security: Hell with that. I don't care if someone is reading my sms & emails. Cox I never email or put sensitive stuffs on my phone. As for receiving emails in real time ….. there's option available in android, WM…you can get same like in bb.

Having said that…..i really like my BB but I'm really sick & tired of waiting for sth to happen. I'm not asking much…..I just want that RIM update their device & at least keep up with android & iphone. This is 2010 and look at other competitors. RIM life is gonna be like Nokia very soon. I wonder what RIM employees do all day…. I want to work for RIM………Getting paid for doing nth.

OMG, this is freaking awesome!

Major let down for non touch screen BB users. BB OS 6 might be better for touch screen BB. RIM needs a drastic change, their new releases are running the same hardware specs as phones that were released 2 years ago and software barely improving. Agree with someone above OS 5.1 it is. The Samsung Galaxy Q will take customers away especially those waiting for an android phone with a 8-megapixel camera with LED flash and HD video capability, a 1-megapixel front facing camera and 16GB of internal storage which is expandable to 32GB, a 3 inch 720×480 Super AMOLED screen, Bluetooth 3.0 and Wi-Fi 802.11n hmmm....

I wish they would have shown the youtube app running. Does anyone know if it is actually a youtube app or just a launch? I am really hoping for a youtube app comparable to every other platform out there and a Blackberry maps update to rival google maps with navigation like they have on android.

So I thought maybe after watching this video that it would be the one to stop me from upgrading to the 9700 & keep me waiting until OS6 actually drops but I have to say I'm not seeing it. The video was good & touched on some good points but I have to agree with some others & say it kind of looks more like an overhaul than a total upgrade. I'm not an iphone guy at all, they seem like great toys don't get me wrong but I don't like touch screens & really don't like the whole "mac/apple is better" mentality people seem to have. More & more though it does seem like RIM is dragging their feet depending on brand loyalty to keep the ship afloat & I can definitely see people leaving their Blackberries behind for Android & Samsung phones. I know executives don't do it, but maybe if they actually got on here sometime & listened to what their clients actually were saying they'd be ahead of the game once in a while.

I cannot believe how amazing this is. Do you believe the enormous leap in technology this is? This will skyrocket RIM and Blackberry years ahead of other smartphone development. I cannot get over how different this OS is than the previous ones. I can't stop reading about it. Please tell us more, we want more videos of the same exact thing as well.

I'm sorry I just don't see what all the excitement is about with this OS 6?? Every other smart phone is leaps and bounds ahead in regards to software and web browsing! They are just catching up in my opinion!

would like to see this on a size like the blackberry 9000. That would be great (I have the 9650). feel like the other bolds have screen sizes too small..

I have a blackberry curve 8330 and im on sprint but when these new ones come out i think ill be leaving and going to a GSM network just so i can have it faster

i just cant get over the fact that the 9700 shouldve had 512mb of memory. there shouldve been no need to have a 9780. the tech was not new at the time the 9700 was being made or released and they had to have been working on os6. i dont hate the way os6 runs on a non-touch device. i just cant get over the fact that the 9780 should never have needed to be made...

Why doesn't CB get any of the leaked devices? All the people that make thses videos have Websites so that can't be it. It would be nice to see the CB guys we know and love get to review or show us the new devices and OS that are coming down the line instead of the people who are now.

I am convinced about the browser it still seems slow to me and it is on wifi. I think this will be it...they are releasing the slider maybe next week and it will suddenly pick up speed in a few week not convinced. This is one of the major complaints about BB if they screw this up they are in trouble.

What the hell more do you want?

OS6 is looking pretty good, can't wait to try it on my 9650.

Wow! Can OS 6 get any better? This is going to be sooo cool to use! Also,...OS6 is guaranteed not to need any duct tape!

...Have Bold Will Travel~

Maybe there's a setting to change this, but the OS 6 browser in the video is showing only the last browser bookmark visited. My current browser shows the last 5 bookmarks I visited. I also don't see a search box on the default startup page.

I have been somewhat upset that it looks like my Storm 2 will not get OS6. After seeing that video I am no longer upset. If it won't run on S2 no big deal, my 5.0.0.713 with lyricidal hybrids runs as good as that!
