    Yeah but it also says 9630 and not 9650. I guess RIM even confused themselves with the tour kill to rename bold lol.

    Typos do happen and someone didn't proofread before sending. Not enough memory to run os6 on Tour.

    Not true, the Bold 9700 has 256MB just like the Tour and yet it can run OS6 just fine.

    All OS 6 devices have a touchpad or touchscreen. Trackball devices have been left out in the cold.

    Maybe OS 6 is coming for the 8330!? Lol.

    (I think the BBs that are officially EOL will not be getting any updates except through hybrids, which are a great way to extend the useful life of an obsolete BB)

    Don't hold your breath waiting cause I'm pretty sure the tour isn't getting any OS 6.

    So when OS 6 is released for the Bold, how long till NEW Bolds come with it already on it?

    It was made pretty clear that OS 6 wasn't coming to trackball-equipped BlackBerrys.

    Hello, I was in Vietnam, but if hoiu experience using the Blackberry, I also have seniority over 4 years, now I'm using Verzion Blackberry 9630, I use the OS 5.0.975 Verzion network is the best by this point, if you use BB 9630Verzion> Body
    (It's hard to BB 9630 running OS 6.0) The biggest problem is due to manufacturers
