It would be about time. Disappointed that it has taken Verizon Wireless so long to get us the OS 6 update. Time will tell I guess.

Awesome! Just in time for OS6 to not be relevant anymore!

Yeah, if it's a newer build than .333 for the Bold 9650 then shit, I'll be waiting in line for this to officially drop.

And please do, but is that a storm in the pictures?

All of the pictures in the first picture are either Torch, Style. Or the Storm. hahaha.

Wake me up when something exciting drops.

how in gods name is anyone even excited about OS6 anymore.....the hype is gone. everyone knows about OS6 and yes it is a decent improvement over OS5. But the official isnt gonna be any different from the leak. At least for me and im sure a few others........the hype is dead......

I wonder if the OS6 will ever be available for the Tour 9630?

What a snooze fest, wake me when something exciting happens. I question my loyalty to BB each and every day.

"Here's a new OS, but you won't be able to have until a year from now, maybe more, ahh heck, who knows when you can have it."

"Hot off the press, brand new BB tablet! Oh but wait, we aren't announcing its release or price, but it's really cool though right? It'll be released just in time to be outdated by the competition."

If you can't tell I'm growing more and more disenchanted with BB and their antics.

I agree, I have been a diehard BB supporter, but it's getting harder to make the argument. I still have faith that they are going to surprise us all and step it up in 2011. If not when my Storm2 dies I don't think I'll replace it with another BB.

"tap, tap RIM DO YOU READ THESE FORUMS?!?! ITS YOUR CUSTOMERS TALKING!!!!!

it half sucks that it takes RIM so long to put out these releases on hardware that is half as powerful as the rest of other "new" devices - and then the full suck is when the carrier lags along behind them making the releases take twice as long to get out the door and onto a phone.

I certainly understand everyone's disappointment but thing's aren't all peaches & cream over on Android either as Motorola just added to the OS update confusion.

I noticed a specific OS package version in the pics and a bundle number but can't read it cause I'm on the mobile site and don't have time at the moment. Looks like an old version I hope VZW doesn't slap yall in the face with an old OS 6 6.0.0.21

By the time this upgrade comes out,everyone else will have OS 7???

Went to my local used car dealership, ooops I mean VZW retail store. Hard to tell the difference sometimes. I asked for "one of those OS 6 brochures I've been hearing about". The Walmart greeter at the door didn't know what I was talking about so he asked an automaton at the desk. He said, "we don't do Blackberry software upgrades here. RIM pushes that stuff out. He'll have to wait until he's prompted to update over the air.". So its official, because a VZW rep said it, VzW has nothing to do with it. Its all RIM's fault :-). If ignorance is blis, I met one of the happiest guys around.

OMG...I CAN'T WAIT TO KEEP WAITING!!!

You should do some research on the samsung android 2.2 upgrades for the galaxy s. Apparently it is causing the internal sd cards to fry, thereby rendering the phone useless. And samsung isn't much faster than rim for releasing firmware updates. So, you should consider that a slightly longer wait will at the very least ensure that you won't brick your bb when you upgrade.

256 MB Application Memory free? Well, that means my lowly 8520 w/ 11 installed programs (and a mere 95 MB available) won't be able to handle the 'upgrade'

Mind you, I doubt whether (based on the move from OS4 to 5) I'd find the experience any more satisfying, as my device struggles to keep up now.

Not only is it way late to be releasing it but we already have a leaked version which is newer than the planned official release. Pics show .317 and we are using .33 Verizon is lame again !!! Why even bother?

That's it... This will be my LAST Blackberry carp I will have..... I had enough of waiting for ANY OFFICIAL news on delays related to OS6 for 9700. I am buying an iPhone in 2012 (I am on a three year contract) and NEVER EVER going to come back to Blackberry even if they are the last cell phone device maker in the world.

I am going to tell all my Blackberry loser friends to switch to an Android or iPhone. RIM should have the obligation to inform their customer base what's going on with their OS6 with respect to each device. OR THEY SHOULD HAVE JUST NOT RELEASE AN OS6 FOR OLDER DEVICES. This way people like me would have brought an iPhone instead of buying a 9700 based on the RIMs official news that I will get OS6 soon. Besides, it won't give their company operating procedures and I don't believe if they say that they hide that info because it is sensitive.

I can't wait to end my contract and get my hands on new iPhone 5 or may be well built iPhone 6 and who knows what great developments Apple has. Also, European Union MPs already use iPhone and dumped their Blackberry crap.

Exactly dude RIM blows chunks...waiting around for this lame upgrade, and a book 6 months too late.
