- IMHO - I think RIM are busy trying to save the company. Concentrating on current products, and next generation. There is no point in them adding anything more to our Bold 9780 now as it is old tech for them.07-03-12 02:45 PMLike 0
- Well... it's true. Hopefully they won't just fully abandoned the OS 6. At least they still keep updating some of the apps for OS 607-04-12 09:14 PMLike 0

If fact, I would be upset if a struggling company is wasting time on old products when the next gen OS is already late, and they are in a massive financial mess. Concentrate resources on what will make you new money.
Us Bold 9780 owners are money already banked. They still get our monthly RIM fee, but other than that they make no money by an update for us. Especially as the last official releases are pretty well bug free and solid.
Go read a few news items about the layoffs and debt. Then you will see why giving us anything would be a daft use of resources.07-05-12 01:20 PMLike 0 - Why would you assume there is an update due? It doesn't make sense to me. Even less sense for a 9700 update.

Any comments?07-12-12 07:21 AMLike 0 - Personally I love .666 for stability, battery life, UMA, signal strength. And having a nice looking version number.
I haven't exactly tested it against other builds, but it feels better than ones I used before. Lots of love out there for .722 as well
Threads have been discussing this lately. Some useful opinions in here:

In .722, I've experience missing BBM profile picture of myself or a few on my BBM contacts. They claimed they put PP but all I saw on their PP is blank or no photo.
I even lost mine but in my case, my PP showed up in the list but when I view my profile, the PP is missing and I had to replace it to get it back. This is very weird indeed.
On .723 I don't encounter this but my only issue with .723 last time was the browser which sometimes hit insufficient memory even though I only loaded 1 session only, something which I attribute to memory leak.
I'm going to stick to .722 for a while and see if this problem goes away and if anything else pop up. I have had .723 long enough to make comparison with this version.Last edited by henghs; 07-13-12 at 07:02 PM.
07-13-12 06:38 PMLike 0 - this thread appears to answer my question. apparently the 9780 cannot be upgraded to OS 7.xxx? okay back to the drawing board.

RIM confirmed on day 1 that no existing devices would be able to upgrade to OS7. They don't have the required hardware.
No need to go back to the drawing board either... just load up a hybrid with OS7 files.08-01-12 12:29 PMLike 0 - 08-01-12 02:41 PMLike 0

But, the point I was picking on wasn't the numbers. It was the name. "Bold" is the name of the decent business phone. (Top of range ain't it?) So a Bold is a Bold is a Bold. Just has a new model number each year. And a new OS to go with it.

Therefore, your statement regarding new OS numbers with new Bold numbers is false.
