Too bad BB6 won't run on any of our phones. Too little too late if you ask me, but at least they are moving in the right direction, however slowly that may be :)

...that's a fair assessment, seeing as iOS4 has been released and you can use it, and not just look at screen shots. Maybe having a little patience and waiting for an actual phone with an actual release of BB OS6 before passing judgment?

ya cause you can easily compare the two
/eyeroll

of course iOS is better. they've targeted a completely different userbase

As long as I have a full physical keyboard, my OS will still be better than any Apple OS.

Anyone else annoyed at hearing the new Apple OS called iOS? I'm waiting for Cisco to come over and tell them to knock it off.

Never though you'd say it, ya right...

"I like the iOS4 because when you push the icon the program opens." WOW what an innovation!!!!!!!

When you really look look at the iPhone there is really nothing I repeat nothing to get excited about. And yes I do know because I owned an iPhone.

There may be nothing too exciting here either but let's be realistic a phone won't change you life, you just want it to work and look nice. I think this OS does that, just hope it'll be out soon.

Why? The ONLY good thing about iOS4 was the ability to create folders as 'multi-tasking' is a joke. And, don't get me wrong, I do like the folder creation... but:

1) Blackberry has folders too (and way before iPhone)...
2) You can hide any icon you wish (can't do that with the iPhone) which is great when you want to hide the crap of which there is loads on the iPhone (I create an "Apple Crap" folder on my iPod).
3) You can change the amount of icon rows you want on your home screen (can't do that on the iPhone)
4) Notification options screen they are showing is something iPhone doesn't have at all...
5) The feature they show in the previews where you touch an icon and it pops up a screen for custom functions for that icon (think it relates to contact) is sweet...
6) Most of all... you can customize your Blackberry with options instead of having Apple tell you how you should want your iPhone.

As you can tell, I'm not a fan of iOS (crappy name BTW) and I think people are wayyyy to hard on Blackberry software when more often than not it can do the same stuff if not more but maybe without as much useless eye-candy.

How's the "multitasking" working out? Lawl.

Hope you are not with AT&T

I have a Bold 9000 and AT&T has not released the upgrade to OS5 yet. I don't think you are going to get this for your 9700 until you buy a new 9700 phone when your contract runs out. All of this applies only to AT&T though.

Its actually OS5.2.

get over yourself. As I said earlier the iPhone OS is basically push icon and start program. That's it. And recall iPhone didn't have multitasking until OS4 so I think you are bitching too much here.

I hope the real innovation is faster OS that doesn't get hung up as often. That is all the innovation one really needs.

Apparently none of the current phones will. Not enough memory to run properly. Which is cool for me cause I'm 1) happy with 5.0 n 2) I'm debating switching to an Andriod phone anyway. I'm lovin the new SE Xperia X1.

How much and where are you in the worldwise, plus I really hope that there'll be something for storm one with all this anticipation ill hang myself of my wait is for nothing

Who wants to buy my iPhone 4 it's a month old feels like the same phone/ OS as my original iPhone, plus I can't make phone calls on it LOL!

Precisely, the unnecessarily $*!"y looks of an iPhone with the amazing stability of a BBOS

If it's been said to have difficulty running on the Storm 2, then 9530 users shouldn't even bother dreaming about seeing this OS.

Seems like everyone will be forced to: A) get a brand new BB to run OS6, B) keep running OS5 on their current phones, or C) jump off the RIM fail boat all together.

Really?
Riddle me this: Who is going to willingly buy a current or older model from someone knowing they can't get the newer OS? I think all current BB users are more or less screwed.

Finally! Love that option!
