That time again folks, the time when OS leaks start turning up before the actual devices. BlackBerry 7 is of course the next OS to be appearing on BlackBerry smartphones after it was announced that RIM would be bypassing BlackBerry 6.1 on future devices.
Now, as the devices are getting even closer to launch, the OS' for them have now started to turn up. That said, you have to keep in mind that these OS' mean very little to any regular folks out there, aside from hybrid builders who may choose to mix and match some of the BlackBerry 7 files into the current breed of Blackberry 6 OS devices and extract some apps like, BlackBerry App World which is sitting at v2.1.3.7 in these OS' leaks.
In other words, for those of you asking "Will this work on.." no, it won't. The files are pretty much useless to any regular folks out there and those that have the devices they could work on, already have access to OS install files anyway.
Download the leaked OS 7.0.0.100 for the BlackBerry Curve 9350 / 9370

leilani_J May 25, 2011 at 4:01 am
why are you mad? because you chose not to actually READ the article?
Marvin-13 May 24, 2011 at 10:28 pm
lmao! are you gonna post that after every comment?
tkwolf May 24, 2011 at 10:56 pm
id pretty much prefer that he posts that on every damn comment that asks "will this work on my 9700 or my 9780, etc" people really do lack common sense these days, so its quite deserving.
squirble May 24, 2011 at 5:47 pm
I recently had a meeting with a RIM regional tech manager and he said OS 7 will only be available for the new devices. His claim to this was because the new devices will be 4G.
Bla1ze May 24, 2011 at 5:48 pm
You mean that fake 4G? LOL
the_stig#WN May 24, 2011 at 5:50 pm
He is wrong ... No 4G, at least not for VZW
Rootbrian May 25, 2011 at 10:21 am
VZW is still 2G with their CDMA network including sprint. Until they have surfing & talking at the same time, it's 2G.
jsn204 May 24, 2011 at 5:48 pm

elmejor1009 May 24, 2011 at 5:48 pm

mssca May 24, 2011 at 6:16 pm
Try it out and let me know...but make sure you read the article carefully before load this OS on your 9810
Average Joe May 24, 2011 at 5:50 pm
I wonder how many more "will this work on" questions this article will get...I say we start answering YES. I mean, of theyre dumb enough to try it, they deserve to turn their BBs into paperweights.
gravymonster May 24, 2011 at 5:58 pm
Will this work on my 8700? i need an upgrade from 4.5 so bad or else im getting an iphone today. As a RIM customer i am absolutely entitled to this upgrade.
RocPlayr May 24, 2011 at 6:40 pm
Yeah! Install it!
And1Viper May 24, 2011 at 6:00 pm

Sparro May 24, 2011 at 6:06 pm
Does this mean that an official device launch is getting closer?
Rootbrian May 25, 2011 at 10:24 am
It's getting closer, just don't know when.

SteelHelmet May 24, 2011 at 7:14 pm
I was wondering if I could load this on my Bold 9700, so i tried and it worked! It feels so snappy now, my screen has touch capabilities now and I also have 4G signal!!!
SteelHelmet May 24, 2011 at 7:29 pm
Uh oh, posted too fast. There's still the memory leak issue, only 2kb left and my battery drops from 80% to 0%. Since QNX phones are taking too long to be released, I'm switching to an iPod Touch. I'm done with RIM too!
leilani_J May 25, 2011 at 3:59 am
ahaha "switching to an iPod Touch".... that's classic. i like that.
sumeetvibes11 May 25, 2011 at 6:40 am

ciscobear May 24, 2011 at 7:52 pm
Damn, SteelHelmet's comments have just ended this post LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
I installed it just now and got it to work on my Panasonic cordless phone :D
stevenvictx May 24, 2011 at 9:08 pm
Sounds like rim has taken a play from the apple company playbook.
We have a new better.,improved, faster.... But you have to buy a new phone to get it HA HA!.
peacey May 24, 2011 at 11:52 pm
What are you babbling about? What does apple have to do with the PlayBook? Also, why can't you finish your sentence? Did your keyboard break halfway through typing out your sentence?
Better, improved, and faster what? Again, WTF is "Apple company PlayBook"
leilani_J May 25, 2011 at 4:04 am
apple company playbook?? .... the hell?
_BlackCherry_ May 24, 2011 at 9:09 pm
It works on my Nokia 3310.
Thomiegun May 24, 2011 at 9:09 pm
ok so I downloaded it to my Playbook 16gb, now I have 1.5tb hdd space...and yes my PB is now getting a 4G signal and is a hotspot. It then loaded OS 6 onto my Storm 2.....WTF, seriously people.
Cafeina May 24, 2011 at 9:11 pm
Lol :-)
Albert62 May 24, 2011 at 9:15 pm
HAHAHAHAHA!
aloofkid May 24, 2011 at 9:15 pm
I'm soooo jealous, I wish there's a leak for 9800!
Albert62 May 24, 2011 at 9:21 pm

dlg20 May 24, 2011 at 9:21 pm

bazzyg May 24, 2011 at 9:47 pm

OutlandMoro May 24, 2011 at 10:20 pm
OMG I can't wait for a leak to be out for the 9780. For those wondering if it will come out. The answer is yes it will. Trust me on this one :)
tkwolf May 24, 2011 at 10:59 pm
i just loaded it to my 9780 and my old curve 8520 and they're now faster than ever! the processors are now both 3.5 multi-core! seriously guys battery life on this is way better and there's barely any lag at all! good job RIM!
sumeetvibes11 May 25, 2011 at 6:39 am
Hey dude really does it work in blackberry bold 9780 ?
Plsss rpl...
KingLuTheGreat May 24, 2011 at 11:19 pm
soo does this also mean the BB bold 9900 could be coming out soo
KingLuTheGreat May 24, 2011 at 11:21 pm
Soo does this also mean the BB bold 9900 could be coming out sooner than we expected? now that the OS has leaked out it only seems logical..
Shexo May 25, 2011 at 4:58 am
Hybrid builders, get your game faces on :D
ecedillo May 25, 2011 at 9:37 am
OMG!!! It worked ... i just loaded this on my STORM 2 and it disabled that annoying clicking screen and I can now play angry birds!!! YES!!! Your improving RIM...
Robinsong7 May 25, 2011 at 12:01 pm

vic_hinder Aug 27, 2011 at 1:41 pm

shizzle110 Nov 30, 2011 at 8:34 pm
