BG just gave a detailed account of their experience with the OS and it seems that RIM moved in the right direction with a lot of their implementation, without coming off as cheesy in the animations. I'm almost impressed. I just need to see it in action.
I would say there is a 60% chance the S2 will get it. Changes in memory management (ie install apps on SD card) in OS6 at 25%, but only 10% on S2 as i think it requires hardware changes.
Why would RIM release the Storm3 this soon apart from the Storm2 ?! That would be just plain ignorant... Furthermore I think RIM will continue having three flagship devices; Bold 9700 for business users, Storm2 (till December?) for consumer use and the 'Slider' which will be for both. Also for small business users they will keep the 8520 and will introduce the 9100 (Pearl 3G) for consumers...
This better leak soon. I've been seriously thinking about switching to an incredible. The htc phones keep looking better and better while we are still stuck on this crappy OS. All my friends with storms and storm2s have gone to android phones. I'm one out of about 8 people I'm close with still rocking a blackberry. 6.0 leak might hold me off until the storm3 otherwise I might be going android soon. I'm sure there are thousands more that feel the same
The question is, is the 6.0 OS only going to be available on new, yet to be released devices or will there be a way of upgrading the current BBerry owner's device to the new OS?
I just got my Storm2 about a month ago and would hate for it to be obsolete in certain ways, that would just be irresponsible.
Apple just launched its new OS and it was able to upgrade current Apple owners' devices

I would think the percentage is a little higher...they mention there is pinch/zoom; would that be available only on a touchscreen?

hope you are right. I would stick with 60% for two reasons: There is a thouchscreen slider around the corner, so the article might refer to that one. Second, ATT doesnt have the S2 and the pics come from an ATT source. Must be the slider. So who knows about S2 then...

I'm almost 100% percent sure the Storm 2 will get OS 6.0. When is the real question.
Just in time. I was seriously thinking of jumping ship to the Incredible. Really hope this leaks and I can run it on my 9550. Think I will hold off for now on the Incredible, I don't want to leave BB.
I'm certainly anxious to see it all and even more curious as to what that AT&T phone is...imagine, a great phone with a new n' improved OS, on a sucky carrier! As to % chances, that's all sheer fantasy and guess work, nobody knows for sure 'til it happens.
Um, say what? Are you attempting a joke here or what? And how in the heck can anyone tell anything from the screen shots about color banding (and I read nothing, unless I somehow skimmed past it, about BBM usage).
