Well I'm sure this has probably been asked hundreds of times but oh well. Will OS 6 be coming to the Curve 8520/8530? Why or why not? Mostly a compiled speculations thread I guess. I see no reason why it wouldn't be plausible because I've seen the RIM presentation slideshow where they have a picture of it running on what looks like a 9650/9700. Then again, this is my first BlackBerry and I'm not familiar with RIM's "practices". Personally I'd be satisfied if they just integrated the webkit browser into OS 5.
the slider 9800 has the os6 on it and was shown in a video and looks sweet
I hope it does come to the curve because i will have to wait nearly two years before the sider comes to the uk
Hi ,
I have a less than a month old blackberry 8520 running version 4.6.1.314 (Platforn 4.2.0.135) on Tmobile Uk .
Is it worth updating the software to version 5 then one day 6?
All we can do is keep on playing with 5 and plan for a possible update.
5.0 is not so bad after all.
Yeah, I think 5.0 is great and I chose this phone over the HTC Hero for a **** of a lot more reasons than the OS. I am really big on software updates though, being a developer myself it's always cool to check out the new optimizations and features that have been implemented. I'll go super saiyan on their asses though if they don't release at least the native webkit browser for us 5.0 users.
1 year of software upgrades is the absolute minimum acceptable, in my opinion. If RIM doesn't deliver on this I'll leave for another platform that does.
And if the 9700 gets it, so should the 8900, 8520/30, and 9630 unless RIM is simply trying to force upgrades, which is also unacceptable. Same form factor, same memory, processor speeds all within 100Mhz of each other.
I do have faith though, given OS 5 has hit more or less every device with the hardware capability to run it.
Since I am not part of the BlackBerry 6 project, I will not use any kind of definives... might as well be RIM will release BlackBerry 6 (6.0.1) for 512mb devices and 6.0.0 for 256mb devices (.0.0 being a trimmed, not so fancy version).
