For those who miss the front page of CB.
As we get closer to the release of 9800 = release of OS6, with all the recent pics, clips and much speculation or rumour. I am confident that OS6 will be available to 256MB bb. Its either carrier push or leak and definitely we will see a hybrid out there, its a matter of time, thanks to those smart guys.
Of course, if you have heard, people are also speculating if there will be an OS6Lite version release to 256MB bb. I would say that is possible too. It all fall onto RIM if they make extra effort to please existing bb. Since it might be a lite version. Its either we get webkit integrated into OS5 or we get OS6 without webkit. For a lite version, I doubt we will have both world.
If you have followed closely, I vividly recall seeing bb browser with tab running on OS5. Whether thats a webkit, we are not sure. If given a choice, I would prefer RIM give us webkit or a better browser than existing one since we can always get OS6 look alike theme. The existing stock theme is fine with me.
Much as I guess, the 9800 will definitely take up more ram than conventional keypad bb or storm. It make sense since its a combi of both. So, 256MB is a good to go? Yes, but be prepare to let go some of your downloaded apps to give way for space. We are looking at 50MB or less left for Storm2. If RIM can find ways to compress the OS till its almost same size as OS5 would be great but I doubt.
We also know that many bb soon to be EOL next month. I strongly feel and agree that RIM will/should concentrate refresh on a few existing flagship phones which are not 512MB ready. They are definitely bold and storm. We already see a 9300 coming soon with 256MB. This again is RIM strategy to continue meet the low end or entry level. Again, if you wonder why 256MB? As mentioned above, the device will likely get some updates later or if lucky, we will see it ship ready with special updates. Lets hope some of the stores training guys will leak more info to us. RIM main concentration now is to push the OS6 ready phones out asap in hope to regain some ground. It is also what they promise, a time line to get OS6 out. Again, why need to refresh existing phones? Logically, can't expect consumer to buy a phone with 50MB or less for apps.
So I urge existing STORM2 owners, don't feel dismay. We will get something definitely. Just wait patiently for another week or two and more info to come. Of course don't expect too much out of this transition period.
In any case, our storm2 pretty good and to me, its an almost perfect phone. Above are my few cents, may or may not come true. No hard feelings, do look and think positive in life.
Thanks for reading.
Cheers,
Titus.
