People are ALREADY setting themselves up for disappointment with this and they WERE TOLD from the beginning that OS7 devices wouldn't be upgradable. So I'm sorry to say its far too late. People only hear what that want to hear even if its the exact oppositie of what was said.

i agree! then people want to complain. just dont let the idea inception its way into your mind in the first place!!

Will the Torch 9800 get OS 7?

Will the Pearl 8100 get OS 5?

9700 running OS5 gets OS6 upgrade but I think that was not a good idea because once you upgrade to OS6 there is a massive memory leak and I had to reboot my phone (QuickPull) every day. So BB10 on OS7 devices is not a good idea.

I just upgraded my 9810 last Dec so I will wait for a while, there may have different form-factor available at that time.

since its not getting bb10 they should give all 9900 owners like os 8 an 9 lol just make something fun lol. sucks the 9900 isnt gonna get bb10 i was looking forward to getting a 9930 but imma just wait for bb10

I don't see any reason why anyone should expect BB10 to run on OS 7 devices. OS 7 works fine the way it is. I got my 9930 the day after Verizon released it. It works great and has been flawless for me so far. When the new BB10 devices are released I have the option to sell it and buy a new one off contract or keep it and use it until April of next year when I am eligible for an upgrade. I don't feel RIMM is at fault for not making it future proof. It would be different if the OS 7 devices quit working when BB10 is released but they will work just fine like they do now. You just won't get to play with the latest greatest.

If you want to run BB10 sell your old phone and buy a new one. When you buy a car do you expect the manufacturer to retrofit the improvements on the new models on to your old car?

that is a bad news for bold 9900 that will not get upgraded to OS 10

RIM CEO: BlackBerry 7 devices will not receive BB10 upgrade | MacNN
BlackBerry 7 apps said to be compatible with BB10


Speaking at a BlackBerry World press conference, RIM CEO Thorsten Heins has admitted that the company has no plans to offer BlackBerry 10 updates for existing devices that run the BlackBerry 7 OS. The company has yet to announce a consumer device that will be powered by the new OS, though developers will be able to test apps on the Dev Alpha handset.

Although BlackBerry 10 is viewed as an upgrade from the existing OS, the company appears to be planning to release new BlackBerry 7 handsets even after the new OS arrives. The only device that has been confirmed to receive a BB10 update is the PlayBook tablet.

The revamped OS brings a new approach to menu organization and multitasking, enabling users to quickly swipe between communication and productivity panes. The company has also developed a virtual keyboard that mimics the characteristic BlackBerry layout, complete with virtual frets, and brings shortcut gestures for frequently typed words.

BlackBerry 10 and related devices are expected to arrive sometime before the end of the year.

Brilliant. This should help consumers purchase a way over priced device that lacks depth, apps, and the quality that iphone or android provide. I see the current blackberry phones as a nightmare and believe bb10 london is their only hope.
