yes, which is why the memory of the new Bold got doubled to 512mb... its OS 6.0 ready we will not see 6.0 come out however till next quarter though says RIM.

more correctly...RIM thinks so, and we hope so..

Mike Lazaridis said all future devices will be able to run 6.0 so YES this device will.

how about the tour 9630? will that be able to run 6.0?

Most likely not.

Most likely not.

It's cute how people just talk as though they know anything at all when they don't. You have no idea what phone will get it. My 8330 runs OS 5, and the Tour is light years ahead of that obsolete thing. It could go either way. No one has any clue.

i stand by my statement.. a phone we know little about and an upcoming os we know even less about.. an os that is still in development?

Statements like "yes" are too definite to make.. "should" is correct...everything else is conjecture.

Mike Lazaridis said all future devices will be able to run 6.0 so YES this device will.

It's cute when someone tries to act like a smart***.

When asked if OS 6.0 will only be for touch screen phones because it was shown on a touch screen today, or if other types would get it also. Mike Lazaridis says, and I quote:

"...this is designed to support both our touchscreen products and our trackpad products..."

and then talks about the versatility of the trackpad and makes a quick comment about touchscreens.

And I never said NO that the 9630 would not get, I said most likely not, didn't say NO, based off of what was said by Mike Lazaridis.

OS6 looks to be what OS5 was supposed to be, but touchscreens will get the most out of its features imho.

I think it's a safe assumption that only current trackpad and touchscreen devices will be able to run 6.0... Especially based on Mike's comments... They have to draw the line somewhere and the shift to trackpads is suddenly making a whole lot more sense.
