OK CrackBerry Nation. This is it. Or well, it had better be it... or else I'm not sure what's gonna happen (but I guarantee it wouldn't be pretty). Previous leaked word has it that the long-awaited BlackBerry PlayBook OS 2.0 software update is going to drop at 4:01am on February 21st. We've also heard 5am, which we think it will be. And while the timezone hasn't been officially divulged, most indicators are pointing to that being EST. So either way, for those in North America that means staying up late or waking up real early.
A good chunk of the Crack Team is going to have a slumber party and stay up for it. You know we'll be wanting to blog the release the second it hits. We've been waiting for this launch for a lonnng time now so will be following up this week with all sorts of BlackBerry PlayBook OS 2 goodness. You'll want to keep it locked to CrackBerry.
In the meantime, drop a note in the comments or on our PlayBook OS 2.0 Slumber Party thread in the forums if you're going to be glued to your PlayBook tapping the Software update button. Oh yeah, and if you've never updated your PlayBook's software before you can learn how here.

ill have to wait to see how it goes for the rest before i jump in
Jake Storm Feb 20, 2012 at 8:43 pm
Right, because there's a big risk in downloading an official OS update. Especially when it's free.
Yeah, you'd better wait. (one less person slowing up the server while I'm downloading)

Goodluck.
Kiddo2050 Feb 20, 2012 at 5:10 pm
Has there been any confirmation that it's going to come?
Kevin Michaluk Feb 20, 2012 at 5:12 pm
I'll say there's enough "chatter" out there to know it's coming.
But there's no sort of embargo or anything like that going on with this release. When it hits for download, it'll be hitting for everybody to download.
highstupid Feb 20, 2012 at 5:22 pm
i've been told by people who work for RIM that the update, and the bridge update are coming tomorrow. And as for desktop manager, they said possibly tomorrow or this week.
Jake Storm Feb 20, 2012 at 8:44 pm
Any word on desktop manager for MAC update?
extisis Feb 20, 2012 at 11:41 pm
bridge update came today :-) you should check the bb remote function
ODAAT Feb 20, 2012 at 5:51 pm
"chatter", eh? You sound a bit like Chloe O'Brian listening out for terrorists!
1425956 Feb 20, 2012 at 6:25 pm
i sure miss that show. Maybe I'll stay up all night and start on Season 1, 4 a.m. to 5a.m.!!!
kabir11 Feb 20, 2012 at 7:56 pm
Bridge 2.0 is here today, so PB 2.0 should be here in the morning. 8 hours to go.
gheorghita.cristian Feb 20, 2012 at 5:11 pm

Really? Gotta post PRE-porn on the main page? Some people look at this at work.
Kevin Michaluk Feb 20, 2012 at 5:26 pm
I searched iStockPhoto for "pillow fight" and got this picture...
http://www.istockphoto.com/stock-photo-4223455-pj-party-pillow-fight.php?st=ec0e34d
Didn't think it was too over the top (I've posted "racier" on the blogs before here without issue), but will take your comment into account going forward.
Good thing you missed that "BlackBerry Adult App Roundup" post I did back on May 16th, 2010. Best to check that one out at home :)
El Cid Feb 20, 2012 at 5:41 pm
The pic is fine Kevin, there's nothing 'over the top' or 'racy' about it, CrackBerry isn't Microsoft or any similarly uptight corporate site.
ice4u2 Feb 20, 2012 at 5:41 pm
Here's an idea. Why not a live 4am video podcast.
BBPandy Feb 20, 2012 at 6:59 pm
grrr I missed that one too.....
How about this image instead?
http://bit.ly/y5tLg4
ashiluv Feb 20, 2012 at 8:01 pm
bbpandy, if thats the update, then its worth waiting for. lol
The Me Feb 20, 2012 at 5:34 pm
If it was too much for work, don't check it at work. Work is for work.
To have the nerve to complain! Pshh, this is the internet, you can't stop it!
Bmoc009 Feb 20, 2012 at 6:08 pm
Here's a thought..maybe you should be working while your at work and crackberrying at home eh!?
jermaine1082 Feb 20, 2012 at 5:18 pm
Tuesday I always wake up early to make my family(wife and 2 kids) breakfast. So 4:30 I'll be up and hitting "check for update every 15 min..... Or maybe every min.
gsioufi Feb 20, 2012 at 10:50 pm
Why not try at 4:01am every 10 seconds? I will also film my experience. Is there a reputable source confirming the date and time? Do you think RIM's stock will come back to 30$ after this in a month?
iPads blow.
kdna Feb 20, 2012 at 5:19 pm
Congratulations to everyone at RIM. Everyone is feeling the buzz.
Kuttysark Feb 20, 2012 at 5:21 pm
Hells to the YESS I'm waking up for this!
CB.Mike-D Feb 20, 2012 at 5:24 pm
I havn't been to sleep in the past 5 months so Im pretty sure Ill be up... the thing that sucks though is that my Wi-Fi is terrible (Geographic Location) so it will probably take a few hours to update for me :(
wildeagle Feb 20, 2012 at 5:25 pm
I will be downloading it when I get up at 630MST. Can't wait for this update.
rickgainsmith Feb 20, 2012 at 5:25 pm
The workout is doing well for you kevin! Mrs crackberry seems happy also...
dwill400h Feb 20, 2012 at 5:25 pm

PipeLady09 Feb 20, 2012 at 5:27 pm
I have two PB's to upload OS2. Since I am NOT a tekky, I will wait for CB to tell me all is well and then I will excitedly download all the new stuff.
jordanc76 Feb 20, 2012 at 5:28 pm
Very excited...now if I can just get my hands on a new 9930 too!

WOW!!! Anglo chicks have no curves nowadays... thank God for "ethnic" (a rather silly Anglo term, I know!) women who are proud of their curves and love to flaunt them, compare them to the walking broomsticks with silicone racks and it's no wonder that the latter's birthrate is plummeting.
Back on topic... I'll be up for 2.0, can hardly wait.
shebmiller Feb 20, 2012 at 7:41 pm
The two women in the picture posted above are hardly an accurate representation of women in North America (or Anglo where-ever)
But thanks for the comment :D
ahamacher Feb 20, 2012 at 5:34 pm
Something vaguely disturbing about that picture...
Hope the update is out tomorrow. Been waiting since April. Does anyone know if the sideloaded android apps from the beta will work seamlessly with this update?
miroozy Feb 20, 2012 at 5:34 pm
good morning from Egypt...still waitin for the update...can't sleep !
theuncensoredthinker Feb 20, 2012 at 5:35 pm
Why would you need to check software update, when every other os update you receive has been via an automatic notification on the playbook when wifi is on????? Lol
luqman24 Feb 20, 2012 at 5:35 pm
Uhh that's a bit over the top don't u think?? Lol
ice4u2 Feb 20, 2012 at 5:35 pm
This kinda feels like Christmas Eve. I'll be over the Atlantic at that time. Hope the inflight wifi is good and ready.
bigbob417 Feb 20, 2012 at 5:37 pm
As it happens, my PB is set to be delivered on the 21st. Gonna go ahead and dl 2.0, but I'm wondering if I shouldn't give it a week or so before installing it, to better appreciate the differences. Any thoughts?
gheorghita.cristian Feb 20, 2012 at 5:40 pm
dont wait :) get the new OS! if it indeed comes out today it must be something worth trying...

IvanAMANation Feb 20, 2012 at 5:42 pm
I would like to think that we're not all hot chicks, Kevin. Gosh!lol..
But I may be joing the party, I had a huge void in my life since May 19th, and to be honest, this is gonna take a lot of stress off of my shoulders to know my Playbook is finally going to be complete!.. So tell me, how am I supposed to sleep?! Let the countdown begin!!!
altrax Feb 20, 2012 at 5:45 pm
This post makes me very happy. Thank you CrackBerry team for being awesome as always...
For the last few days I've been telling everyone how I am going to going to bed early tonight so I can get up at 3:30am to update my playbook before i work at 7am...
So far everyone thinks I am nuts and I was feeling a little isolated with my love for Blackberry and OS2. However now it's great to know others are just as obsessed as me and will be sitting up wide eyed at 4:01am spamming the update button.

Barredbard Feb 20, 2012 at 5:52 pm
I was visiting Egypt two weeks ago. Mounted a camel. Whenever I mentioned OS 2.0 to my girlfriend, the camel turned around and spat. Ill-tempered beasts. Missed the guide by a few inches. Couldn't wait to return to Michigan. Surely a bad omen.

lmao ok
gheorghita.cristian Feb 20, 2012 at 6:13 pm
Yup...indeed there is info out there that confirms that :
"The BlackBerry PlayBook's new 2.0 OS will arrive as a giant over-the-air update later this month, likely during the Mobile World Congress trade show if RIM sticks to its announced schedule"
------------
"If RIM pushes February to its limits, Feb. 29 could potentially be a very busy day for mobile news."
This sucks...

I will be up for sure, as I am usually up at that time anyway! I also noticed that there are ads by google in the posts now! Maybe I am a little behind the time, but I dont think I have noticed this before. is it some new feature?

on behalf of all of us I would just like to congratulate RIM on releasing (keeping fingers crossed) Playbook OS 2.0 tomorrow. Better late than never, and it's been years since there has been so much positive BUZZ about the company ...it's GREAT!!!.
Let's hope it's just the start of more wonderful things to come!!

JrJohnson52 Feb 20, 2012 at 8:44 pm
Wish there was an app that would trigger my Playbook alarm clock when the update is released! That way I could sleep until the last minute. Who am I kidding? I am going to be up waiting, searching, refreshing just like I have been for the last week.

why would they release it at 4-5 am? That means their RIM staff need to go to work soooo early? It seems a bit odd....
koool1 Feb 20, 2012 at 10:37 pm
It's odd. Maybe it won't be out at 4:00AM, I just hope it comes tomorrow.
sm1ty Feb 20, 2012 at 10:50 pm
lol, Its most likely a timed update, as soon as it goes to Feb 21 on their servers, the update will go live.. till then, its whatever time they've set it to go off.

8BitBatman Feb 21, 2012 at 2:38 am
I'm missing the first day of a new semester for this, hope RIM don't let us down
teamfoster03 Feb 21, 2012 at 2:24 am

alfonsoruizesparza Feb 21, 2012 at 3:06 am
here in mexico waiting as well...
BTW...
to make your wait less longer dont know if you noticed that Asphalt and Modern Combat are available for FREE right now at the app world, dont know if they were like that before...i just noticed
8BitBatman Feb 21, 2012 at 3:10 am
Anyone here think that the reason that Asphalt and Modern Combat are free is because they're incompatible with the update?
peniole Feb 21, 2012 at 3:21 am
That would seriously suuuuuuuck
v3rm0uth Feb 21, 2012 at 3:21 am
I afraid they make it free because they will delay the OS 2.0 update lol
udtdurst Feb 21, 2012 at 3:30 am
Exactly what I'm thinking about!!! :D
That would be so sucks! giving us candies and cancel the main course! we want OS Update! not free game :p
IqWaN Feb 21, 2012 at 3:34 am
i am trying to update a few of the currently installed games and other stuff like air broeswer on my playbook but i see an error saying install error:[0003-0005].. anyone knw wats tht all about?

I'm getting the same error on my device that is also running the same software version. Huh, wonder if RIM is disabling access right now in preparation for publishing the OS2 update. We can only HOPE!!!! 3am where I'm at, don't know if I can last till 4am being that I have to work at 8am.
alfonsoruizesparza Feb 21, 2012 at 3:35 am

Grüß Gott and good morning from good old Germany :-)
09:35AM here at the moment, weather is fine and the PlayBook still says 1.0.8 is the latest Firmware... Can't wait to update and use my "BlackBook" like it's meant to be used ^^ BTW thanks for the hint with Asphalt and Modern Combat :-)

Claus35-DK Feb 21, 2012 at 4:27 am

alfonsoruizesparza Feb 21, 2012 at 4:30 am
Mexico 330 AM...
"I CURRENTLY HAVE THE LATEST SOFTWARE INSTALLED"
TheWolf1965 Feb 21, 2012 at 4:33 am
Not in Canada yet
TheWolf1965 Feb 21, 2012 at 4:36 am
How is it possible Mexico has it first when it is being released from Canada and Iis being released worldwide and nothing in Canada yet.
PlayBookNL Feb 21, 2012 at 4:40 am
@alfonsoruizesparza is talking about 1.0.8.x
TheWolf1965 Feb 21, 2012 at 4:49 am
Got it thanks
BlackberryTorcher Feb 21, 2012 at 4:40 am
I feel like I have been cheated!!! Well atleast I got bridge 2.0! It's 4:40am EST!!!!!!! Come on RIM!!!!!!!! LET'S SHOW THEM WHAT WE CAN DO!
TheWolf1965 Feb 21, 2012 at 4:40 am
The only thought possible on the mexicp thomg is all download slots on the server are filled and we can't get one.
bigt305 Feb 21, 2012 at 4:46 am
He didn't say he had 2.0. He just said he had the most current software installed
This is as frustrating as waiting for Asus to release the ICS update for my transformer, which also has been delayed a few times over the last couple months.
PlayBookNL Feb 21, 2012 at 4:43 am
If not today, RIM should have formally denied the rumours. Therefore, I think it will be today! Only not 4:01 (EST)...
TheWolf1965 Feb 21, 2012 at 4:44 am
...............And the story continues.
TheWolf1965 Feb 21, 2012 at 4:45 am
Time keeps on ticking, ticking, ticking into the future
thudpaul Feb 21, 2012 at 4:46 am
Finally! i upgraded Asphalt 6 Adrenaline to version 3 =D
8BitBatman Feb 21, 2012 at 4:48 am
You know, technically, there was never any official release from RIM which said today was the day...
TheWolf1965 Feb 21, 2012 at 4:50 am
True
TheWolf1965 Feb 21, 2012 at 4:48 am
Has anyone tried going back to 1.08 or is on 1.08 and is getting the update yet? Maybe it is the Beta that is the prob here.
92blacksrv Feb 21, 2012 at 4:53 am
nope 1.08 no update yet
bigt305 Feb 21, 2012 at 4:49 am
10 till 5. If not, I'm hitting up the sandman
Apelles123 Feb 21, 2012 at 4:49 am

alfonsoruizesparza Feb 21, 2012 at 4:50 am
