I'll be kinda shocked. Cause this came from out of nowhere..

[SlcCorrado]

Well they have been talking about it for a while, so I don't know about that Did the vpn issue get fixed for the official? Or are we gonna see a lot of angry BB users??

Any problems present in the leak will be present in the official. There will be no difference. If something was changed, then the OS would have a different version number.

I just got around to installing .607 this morning and now I see this! Oh well...I can't wait for another leak. I hate being on the carrier's current version! Seems so last year!

It's not hard to believe at all.

I don't care if it's a joke or not. If this comes out at 6 pm and it still has those three same digits as the leak at the end it isn't going on my phone..... I will stick to the Hybrid I am running till something better comes along....

April Fools was 4 days ago...

It's not hard to believe at all.

the news of this "official release" was posted on that same april 1st, 4 days ago. some of the huge indicators i'm paying attention to and not believing this is the day it was posted on, the "source" [a twitter post], the fact that there is nothing on the CB front page nor any other site that i've been to today. there are just too many indicators saying this is all bologna and just an april fools joke, if i'm wrong so be it and we'll get a new official release.

[BLACKBERRYGEEKER]

aprilfools on whos behalf? VZW making the apil fools or the source leaker?

[caesar christo]

does it really matter? no one wants it

[BLACKBERRYGEEKER]

man this is not a aprils fools joke. I can see if th erelease wouldinclude PTT and other things that would WOW us..

[SpaceLump]

I don't believe and throw up the BS flag.
Hybrid .604 I'm sticking with it.

[SpaceLump]

I won't be WOWed by PTT or Skype as both are useless to me. However a release that everything worked in would WOW me.

So in other words you will never be WOWED!

[ffac789]

WOW is that they are actually releasing this POS OS as something official. They want us to stick with upgrading to leaks and probably bricking our BBs somewhere along the way, like with new owners doing it for the first time, so that we have to replace it and pay more money. Idk, there was no logic in what I just said, but the fact that they are supporting this OS is astounding. Sticking with .517 until a new leak.

[BLACKBERRYGEEKER]

What is so bad with .607?? Works perfect for me

[AlpineM3]

Since i'm a newbie here, is this an update I should download on my storm 2 or not?

I don't feel comfortable with downloading any 3rd party stuff

the person that leaked it, i highly doubt that Verizon would do something like this as an april fools joke.

[mfarzin]

607 works better than any hybrid or leak I have tried thus far..and I have tried a lot of em haha. I don't use BBM so that major bug in that feature doesn't affect me at all. I think Verizon made a good move releasing 607. Might not be perfect, but it is better than .320!

[r.santa1]

Whats wrong with the .607...if they push it it will be great !!!

VZW is the best! Love big Red..They can do no wrong.

LMAO
