| |  C'mon RIM, give us a OS 2.0 launch date!
When is the ball going to drop in Waterloo? I'm ready to synchronize my countdown clock! I have to know when to rent my tux and make sure my Playbook is fully charged.

If we don't have a release date in 7-10 days, I say its gonna be another miss meaning it won't be out in February at all. The silence is getting.... louder. |

The silence is getting.... louder. | Last I checked, there are 29 days this February. What calendar are you using that has the month end in ten days? They have not been silent. They announced just a few weeks ago that it will be released in February. This is not a new product being released in stores. It is just an OTA OS upgrade. They have all month and have been wise to not give a date. If a server is down on an announced date, or if someone finds a last minute major bug, then them missed their deadline. They have the month to make sure it works. People need to just stop whining and wait a few days. B
TW, if silence is getting louder for you, you might want to see a psychiatrist. There are meds they can prescribe to help you....

| Same calender as you and I never said it had ten days. Quote: |

| Yes they have. No release date has been given. They said February, and that is an entire month. What I said was if 7-10 days from now they have not given a release date then it probably won't be out in February at all, and that is what the miss was.
The launch "date" was in Q1 of 2011. How many days were in Jan-Mar of 2011? And did the playbook actually get released on any of them? So what good does it do to give release "months"? None.

Not giving a definitive release date is just another one of RIM's ways of stringing it's loyal consumers around.
"Hey if they got the playbook on launch date, and have dealt with waiting for OS 2.0 this long..."

After all their other missed date debacles, they need to shut up until the SW is actually launched.

As RIM are asking for Android apps by 13th, I would guess at release of 20th, although to stay with the late theme, I will stick my neck out and guess at 21st Feb 2012.

Isn't that foretold by the Mayan calender?

I want this update but don't care if they give a date. I just want to see them get it out on or before the 29th to start rebuilding their rep.

We will all get a release date 24 hours prior to the launch when bridge for your handset is updated. And I by the way bridge will be updated on the 22nd of February

I do want to want to point out one thing that does sadden me a bit. I notice that even the die hard BB users and fans are second and third guessing the ability for RIM to get this update out in Feb. That is what is really disconcerting...if we are kicking around these types of comments between ourselves...what is the impact that is had when a person who is on the fence about moving to the playbook or a BB phone sees the negativity of the die hards of the ecosystem?
I personally believe that RIM has one chance to get the beginning of the new QNX led part of their business model moving forward and on the right track with the critics and the naysayers. I think if they miss this date, whatever date it is in Feb...the critics will NEVER let it die....
When even the most hardened BB user can be found doubting and or questioning the company that they support through their purchases then RIM needs to take heed...because without the crackberry heads they would be in dire shape...
