Well then apparently Bla1ze must be in cahoots with Jacko and Steve Jobs, and if Bla1ze is saying it, it's good enough for me. Charging up my Bold and backing up my PlayBook tonight.
I really wish people would stop being so negative. How long do you think Apple has been developing and refining its OS? How about Google?
For RIM to develop and surpass these two companies, it is going to take time.
Last time they released a product (the Playbook) they were ripped for not having complete functionality. Now they are ensuring they do.
This is taking longer than they expected but not longer than we should have expected.
You are pretty right. What irks me is this release of an OS, then withdraw it and act as if nothing untoward occurred. Some folks are stuck in a limbo and their choice is Beta or be stuck with an OS that's causing problems. Rim has not explained what happened and has not addressed it in any acceptable manner. Their server won't help people in that situation. If nothing else, re-issue the prior OS with a new higher number that will over-write .668. Then, they also make "promises" and repeatedly blow them away.
I understand no OS or product is perfect but they do have to accept that there is competition and they have to meet that prospect.

RIM still has the snotty air of Mike and Jim....it stinks...
The small people do not need to know and will wait...
Par for the coarse. No change in RIMs behavior noted.
The beta .840 is working fine on 2 PB's in this house. Nothing really to complain about. but if they want to give me more for these units, I will take it.
I realise the title is question marked, but since there's no news item about this on the front page, could we at least have a [Rumour] put in front of the title?
Wth? Why is everyone but me getting updates to. 840? James were you on 840 already too?
Yes, already on the beta. I was hoping it would fix my android player that I messed up when I did a security wipe....nope. Doesn't seem to be anything new here at all. BUT, it's still an update on the 20th for whatever that's worth!Ϛ(�..˚)Ϟ
no update for me in the UK and already running .840 - although I did run a security update on mine and rather than delete all those useless apps like kobo, nfb, zinio, AT&T stuff etc I just whacked them into a folder.
so I guess the updates are for machines that have determined std things are missing????
2.1.0.840 is the beta. Are they releasing the beta as the actual thing?!
I seriously doubt that. I did hear something about "Sending out updates to precede the official 2.1". Something about it having to do with a smooth trouble free update when it comes.
