OS 07 for the 9650?

[DoeZ]

I just got an email from BB telling me about the new OS07...is this for the BB Bold 9650? If so where do I get it?

[ridesno159]

No..........

The email was an advertisement for the new BlackBerry devices running OS7.

The Bold 9650 won't be able to run OS7 unfortunately.

Thanks...was just looking thru it and was really hoping for that one part where it said voice activated for sending texts etc...Are there any free apps that do this for the 9650?

You could try this, it's in the complimentary section of AppWorld. I'm not exactly sure how it works since I've never used it...

https://appworld.blackberry.com/webs...h=true&lang=en

Not sure if that link will work, AppWorld is being dumb. It's called DriveSafe.ly Pro

I clicked that link and it just flickered...I'll try to find it somehow...thanks

Yea, it's not available for my phone I guess so I can't view it at all. For some reason I need to be signed in to view anything in AppWorld. Really stupid...

If you search "DriveSafe.ly Pro" or any combination of it, you should be able to find it in AppWorld.

I found it and downloaded it...there was a price but said if you download before a certain day it was free...hope so...does this allow me to speak my text back etc? I can't figure that out...

you don't have to be signed in to shop for apps but you do have to be signed in when you click 'My Apps' for app list refresh and update search

That's how it has always worked for me before. But last week when I tried it didn't work that way. I could search for apps, but whenever I clicked the link to view the app description it wanted me to sign in.

So not sure what AppWorld's problem is...

Vlingo is available now which I find better than drive safely

+1 vlingo, nice app. only downside is for driving - i need hands on wheel and eyes ahead, so i want true handsfree. need to hold down key to activate/ use vlingo, and sometimes need to look at screen to choose next action.... or am i wrong? one of times it would be nice to be.

(didnt t find drivesafely worked at all for me. did mess up my sound profiles. removed it.)
