Hurray! I cant wait to see a video of a trackpad device running OS6... That homescreen looks terrible though. :x

a simple fix with themes, I like the look of the current OS, and how similar OS6 looks.

Agree!

I wouldn't hold your breath.

Official update...

 
 
Posted by exwindchaser Wednesday, Jul 28, 2010 563 days ago

Hmmm I don't get it. What am I looking at?

 
 
Posted by G.4 Wednesday, Jul 28, 2010 563 days ago

is under "options", then "about" - it lists (among other things) which device you have and what the current operating system is. this pic shows that a 9650 device is running OS 6.0.0.80 which is the first time we have seen that as of yet!

Cannot wait, come on BB gods time for a OS6 leak ;)

Hey Kevin you need to find some shots of a 9700 running 6...that would make my day!

Don’t keep big hopes,
New refresh has killed BBOS6 for 9700,
Marketing policy,

So you're telling me there's a chance?!

I doubt any "9700" user will see this.
1. The OS6 is at this moment looking as if it will have a PHYSICAL hardware requirement of 512mb, alas as the 9700 only came with 256mb...
2. There were leaked images/posts of a "revamped" 9700 which if im not mistaken was the same as a 9700, just with 512mb...
What this means? If you have a 9700 unit running 256mb, you most likely will not see this...

CrucialExtreme already confirmed it was running fine on a 9700

 
 
Posted by infinus Thursday, Jul 29, 2010 563 days ago

may be he couldn’t make out the difference between 9700 refresh and original 9700.
Some confusion I guess!!!

 
 
Posted by barrist Thursday, Jul 29, 2010 562 days ago

uhhh doubt it

he was pretty definitive:

" Yes, the 9700 uses Firmware 6.0 perfectly. "

 
 
Posted by contender Wednesday, Jul 28, 2010 563 days ago

I want to see the 256mb devices running OS6. Now that's some exciting news. We all know 9650 would've gotten it

 
 
Posted by jdgreiner Wednesday, Jul 28, 2010 563 days ago

If im not mistaken, every 9650 ive seen so far is running 512 already... unless your refering to the 9630... which still wouldnt happen...

 
 
Posted by Chris38526 Wednesday, Jul 28, 2010 563 days ago

I want an official update from at&t with OS 6 :(

 
 
Posted by Zipper Wednesday, Jul 28, 2010 563 days ago

Yup, thanks indeed to it's 512MB memory *sigh* starring at my 9700 :P

 
 
Posted by meske Wednesday, Jul 28, 2010 563 days ago

I hope AT&T will treat BB owners the same way they treat iPhone owners with an early upgrade option for the 9800.

And looking at the screen, I feel like it's being run on an emulator, and not the phone itself. Not sure why I think that, but that's what it looks like for some reason.

 
 
Posted by Evermore707 Wednesday, Jul 28, 2010 563 days ago

How much of that 512 is being used up?

 
 
Posted by BerryGuy25 Wednesday, Jul 28, 2010 563 days ago

From the video we saw of the 9800 running the OS, it was taking up 260+ MBs, so it takes up more than half of 512 MBs.

 
 
Posted by Gallia Wednesday, Jul 28, 2010 563 days ago

9800 uses both touch AND trackpad modules. I'd imagine that with pinchview and all the fancy touch functions count for a good enough percentage of that

 
 
Posted by G.4 Wednesday, Jul 28, 2010 563 days ago

I've only had my 9650 for one day and this comes out! I can't wait for it to release :)

 
 
Posted by DudeOnFire Wednesday, Jul 28, 2010 563 days ago

Lucky you!

 
 
Posted by infinus Thursday, Jul 29, 2010 563 days ago

I hate you for t his.
Luck lad.

 
 
Posted by decypher44 Wednesday, Jul 28, 2010 563 days ago

He and his wife just got 9650s. He'll be stoked. Me, with my 8530, not so much...

 
 
Posted by The Fuzz 53 Wednesday, Jul 28, 2010 563 days ago

Somebody needs to leak this, pronto!!

 
 
Posted by MattD Wednesday, Jul 28, 2010 563 days ago

i was going to say the same thing!

 
 
Posted by zmenchhofer Wednesday, Jul 28, 2010 563 days ago

ohhh i just got moist!!!

 
 
Posted by boman06210 Wednesday, Jul 28, 2010 563 days ago

yea not gonna lie, i kinda freaked out a lot when i saw this

 
 
Posted by Smiley2169 Wednesday, Jul 28, 2010 563 days ago

that's good news to other BB users as well, I bet mostly BB's with track pad's will most likely get the OS6.

 
 
Posted by tnhrocks Wednesday, Jul 28, 2010 563 days ago

I think I'm more excited about this release than I was about OS 5! We need a video walk through of this running on a 9650!
What are the bets? A month before it's leaked?

 
 
Posted by gots2beme Wednesday, Jul 28, 2010 563 days ago

I won't get excited until I see one of the 256mb devices running OS6, preferably my 9700. Otherwise, I'll be buying the 9800 when it comes out.

 
 
Posted by 3Dee Wednesday, Jul 28, 2010 563 days ago

Is it just me or does OS6 really not look very good on a regular qwerty?

 
 
Posted by michikade Wednesday, Jul 28, 2010 563 days ago

I'm sure a nice theme will fix that. Or maybe the dock minimizes? With one screenshot, it's very difficult to tell.

I'm with others, someone leak this already!

 
 
Posted by beri Wednesday, Jul 28, 2010 563 days ago

finally!! yes I just got my 9650 for Sprint a few days ago and this is a great sign.. can we see the OS leak soon? hopefully!! :)

 
 
Posted by ajtouchstone Wednesday, Jul 28, 2010 563 days ago

Is it just me, or do all leaked screenshot devices show no battery remaining? #justsaying

 
 
Posted by drinka4yearz Wednesday, Jul 28, 2010 563 days ago

This is just what I've been waiting for I just hope it leaks out full and not in a hybrid!!!!!

 
 
Posted by gartht799 Wednesday, Jul 28, 2010 563 days ago

I read on cnn.com that the 9800 is rumored to be released next week with OS6. If that is true, won't a leak be available shortly after? If a device is out there for the public to use, one would think the OS would be available from someone.

 
 
Posted by sweetlittlehugs Wednesday, Jul 28, 2010 563 days ago

A leak has to come from a carrier who is testing it for that device. A 9650 leak won't come from people getting their hands on the 9800.

 
 
Posted by G.4 Wednesday, Jul 28, 2010 563 days ago

i would agree - as soon as a device comes out with this OS someone will leak it for other devices within a week or so. #fingerscrossed

 
 
Posted by DudeOnFire Wednesday, Jul 28, 2010 563 days ago

What about the 9100!?
:O

 
 
Posted by Phartsy Wednesday, Jul 28, 2010 563 days ago

make os6 run on my Curve 8530 and then we'll talk. i'll be pissed if we're not able to continue updating software.i hate when companies leave the older models(one year old models) in the dust forever.

 
 
Posted by omgpoodle Tuesday, Sep 28, 2010 501 days ago

from what i was told it wont be release for the 8530

 
 
Posted by d00d1e Wednesday, Jul 28, 2010 563 days ago

9700-256 9780-512... yeah what a surprise the 9650 is getting os 6

 
 
Posted by bold1193 Wednesday, Jul 28, 2010 563 days ago

YES, that background is the Verizon sign, little hint maybe ;)

 
 
Posted by d00d1e Wednesday, Jul 28, 2010 563 days ago
