OMG FEB IS ALMOST HERE!! Hope they take these couple of weeks to prepare a few surprises on OS2.0 Upgrade Day!!!

Can you imagine loading your new OS and finding Skype natively installed??????? That would be so AWESOME!!

OMG!!! I totally agree! How great would it be to run the update, reboot & see, Calendar, Contacts, Email, FOLDERS & SKYPE!? Maybe even a few more freebies...

I also hope that the keyboard/case combo comes out soon. I've already got my money put aside for that! Woohoo!!!

Me want operation calendar and email.

 
 
Posted by Barredbard Monday, Jan 30, 2012 23 days ago

I DO. I'd get it today, if I could. My Playbook would start seeing more use immediately.

so what exactly does this upgrade mean that is a year past due ? Skype ? working VPN ? multi authentication wifi ? is it usable for more than browsing ?

i JUST ordered a 9810 to replace my 9700. hoping this will be a good combo. the 9700 was killing me, painfully slow.

i like that the 9810 is posted here.

 
 
Posted by SK122387 Monday, Jan 30, 2012 24 days ago

The 9810 and the PlayBook are a great team. And I think the 9810 will be really good for using to control the PlayBook when we get that feature in OS2.0. Can't wait!

 
 
Posted by jasperlin Monday, Jan 30, 2012 24 days ago

anyone know if you can use the "View on Playbook" feature for music or videos stored on BB7 devices?

i have a 16 gig playbook and want more media! i'd love to be able to store tv shows and movies on my 9810 and play them on the bigger screen. that'd be a sweet feature.

(i originally thought that music and videos could be viewed on the playbook via my 9700 with bridge, i was very wrong)

 
 
Posted by jaymck Monday, Jan 30, 2012 23 days ago

@jasperlin I just tried with a curve 9360 and the music and videos don't work unless someone knows of a work around.

 
 
Posted by jacjordan Monday, Jan 30, 2012 24 days ago

I definitely need to get back to BB...

 
 
Posted by salexs11 Monday, Jan 30, 2012 24 days ago

I can't wait to have native email on my PB!

 
 
Posted by deviantartjr Monday, Jan 30, 2012 24 days ago

great news!! can't wait for that :D

 
 
Posted by vikrant.misra Monday, Jan 30, 2012 24 days ago

Looking forward to it!! Gonna rock with OS 7.1 on my 9900!!!

15-12-11 6149 Thursday
18-1-12 7111 Wednesday
21-2-12 xxxx Tuesday

February 21. I said it first.

Also, that version number is way too low. It'll be at least 76xx+ but I'm sure RIM hasn't even finalised this yet. They only seem to do Q&A for 1 week before release.

 
 
Posted by Bla1ze Monday, Jan 30, 2012 24 days ago

I believe 2.0.0.7473 is higher then 76xx, lol. But hey what do I know? I suck at math.

Please share the wallpaper used on the playbook there please!!!!

Thnx!!

I resized it, you shouldn't have that problem with this one.

 
 
Posted by bwgreen Monday, Jan 30, 2012 23 days ago

While I'm not a math genius, I do see that 2.0.0.7473 is less than 2.0.0.76xx!!

 
 
Posted by Thunderbuck Monday, Jan 30, 2012 23 days ago

I think you're likely right on that date, though it would be great to get it a few days earlier.

Marketing plays into this; 2.0 won't just be a system update for current owners. It's going to be a marketing reboot as well with announcements of new developer support.

 
 
Posted by AggreX Monday, Jan 30, 2012 24 days ago

An update of this magnitude OS2 will be huge for the Rim faithful, the PB early adopters, and a great first sign of things to come from T Heins and Rim. The negative media, naysayers, doom and gloom folks will have to go on standby and just watch or join in.

 
 
Posted by bbpandy Monday, Jan 30, 2012 24 days ago

No they will just complain & ask why it doesn't have BBM

 
 
Posted by SteelGreek Monday, Jan 30, 2012 23 days ago

Both of these... most anti-RIM sites (sadly most "tech" blogs out there) will only focus on the lack of BBM on the tablet and not what it really improves on and brings to the table.

Wait for the overly biased BGR article... ugh

 
 
Posted by auditman Monday, Jan 30, 2012 24 days ago

I hope sooner. Come on uncle T make it happen.

 
 
Posted by CL8Baller Monday, Jan 30, 2012 24 days ago

Hopefully Bridge is updated and prior or at the same time. Hopefully Rroy will work on the AT&T version as well.

 
 
Posted by Cafeina Monday, Jan 30, 2012 23 days ago

+1

 
 
Posted by EraticKnight Monday, Jan 30, 2012 24 days ago

Soooo excited and hope bridge will work better....uhmmmm where can I get the wallpaper used on that playbook on image?????

 
 
Posted by atifsh Monday, Jan 30, 2012 24 days ago

they better fix some issues before unless those arent issues like few apps games not working , low battery life, browser crashing, slowups that require restarts.

saw all these on developers version, apart browser crash that i see on the latest 1.8.*** build, never had that issue before, so new build comes with the issue.

 
 
Posted by EchuOkan1 Monday, Jan 30, 2012 24 days ago

That is a wonderful birthday present even if it is 3 days later, but who cares! Awesome news (even if it is speculation and not an official announcement).

Thanks for the update Bla1ze. =0)

Were you, Thor and Kevin Skyping over a few beers on Saturday?!? I fully expect all tips to come straight from the German horse's mouth now that Crackberry is tight with the man on top.

 
 
Posted by crackcookie Monday, Jan 30, 2012 24 days ago

The OS2 is going to be solid, but it is just unfortunate BB faithfuls have to wait a year to have a tablet.......they can't keep delaying products or releasing them half heatedly.

 
 
Posted by playbookster Monday, Jan 30, 2012 24 days ago

And this is why they have a new CEO

 
 
Posted by TheWolf1965 Monday, Jan 30, 2012 24 days ago

Now thats the stuff I wanna see in a new CEO. Hope it becomes more than rumour.

 
 
Posted by BB-Bmore Monday, Jan 30, 2012 24 days ago

Well I am betting it will be on the 23rd...and i hope to see a little tat stuff on the os.That would be a nice surprise!

 
 
Posted by mavricxx Monday, Jan 30, 2012 24 days ago

I can't wait for it too, hopefully thereafter they update it to support USB hosting. I'd also like to see someone finally make a dock with built in HDMI out and a full size SD card support!

 
 
Posted by world traveler and former ceo Monday, Jan 30, 2012 24 days ago

awesome!!! ..PB 2.0 will Rock!!!!

 
 
Posted by canuckvoip Monday, Jan 30, 2012 24 days ago

Another person who cannot wait here. Here's hoping the 17th is the date!
Oh... and it's "more often THAN not", not then...
Cheers!

 
 
Posted by TeaBoy Monday, Jan 30, 2012 24 days ago

I can confirm its coming out on Feb!

 
 
Posted by greatwiseone Monday, Jan 30, 2012 24 days ago

As long as it arrives before end of February of this year, I would be happy :)

 
 
Posted by studio scratch Monday, Jan 30, 2012 24 days ago

I've been using RIM's devices since 2006 and love it! Currently using Bold 9900 great device - the only one thing I'm not happy about is the battery life. Tried iPhones, Android and I can say now Blackberry are the best messengers/email devices on the planet but I have to say how much I'm disappointed with Playbook, from paying £399 and using the tablet for just browsing the web?? I cannot even get a decent ebook reader?? An now PB prices went down to £169 in UK??

I would love to see RIM growing, innovating new things and I wish the company a very best but RIM please don't ignore your fans by producing 'unfinished' and expensive products and then slashing the prices...this really hurts!

I hope BB PB 2.0 will meet our expectations..

Guys, you know what will happen if we don't get the update on or befor February 17th, right? Expect some heavy traffic that day :) February 17 through Day X will be the days of outrage.

 
 
Posted by SaltySnack Monday, Jan 30, 2012 24 days ago
