VZW gets .148 for testing
- patches152Banned.186 is the platform for .148 i believe...
nope, its .181
oak, we call that "misinformation" go YKW your source ASAP before it's no longer effective!!!05-28-09 10:59 PMLike 0 -
The reason it gets me wondering is, he hints at a "surprise" and says that .148 is "ages old"
Of course, I could be reading completely into it, due to the fact that I am in the advanced stages of Storm OS addiction....Last edited by Dave12308; 05-28-09 at 11:23 PM.

Fine-tuning to see if you can understand what he says is the only way you can hear his full words.05-28-09 11:29 PMLike 0 - Is anyone paying attention to the fact that Verizon announced today that it will be carrying the Palm Pre and Google's Android based phones plus something they referred to as a cousin of the Android. Is that a sign of their dissatisfaction with the BB phones? They really have released what amounts to a bunch of redundant devices lately and they can't get the Storm right.05-28-09 11:29 PMLike 0

To be honest, I find alot of your info to be the most useful; since your contacts actually are INVOLVED in the FINAL stage of testing. This is the make it or break it stage, so anything up to that point means little, anyways.05-28-09 11:35 PMLike 0 - patches152BannedIs anyone paying attention to the fact that Verizon announced today that it will be carrying the Palm Pre and Google's Android based phones plus something they referred to as a cousin of the Android.

VZW is extremely satisfied with the SALES of the storm, and that's the bottom line. as long as $$$ is good, they're happy.
about the fact that new devices are coming, they are always coming. VZW is finally getting into the "exclusive" or "first to have device xxxx" loop...which they've always been out of, based on mfgrs servicing GSM carriers first...but the fact that new devices are coming means nothing about their satisfaction/dissatisfaction with RIM devices...
blackberries are sold to keep the corporate contract users happy, since that's what a majority of them use. "consumer" blackberries don't exist. the concept exists, but the hardware and R/D hasn't fully matured yet. the storm is a half assed attempt at taking the existing platform and adding consumer "shiny things" to it...i don't consider the storm a "consumer device".05-28-09 11:37 PMLike 0 -

The "Plum" would probably run a completely different OS, and offer no BES connectivity. Emails would be handled through BIS. Perhaps the device would support Activesync via an Exchange Server, to compete with iPhone. The device would probably be somewhat less secure than a Blackberry, however, it would probably also offer a much more conventional memory layout. It would likely offer full OpenGL ES support, and have an accelerated GUI. Also, it would probably make more sense to base it on a linux kernel, or some sort of UNIX kernel. In other words, it'd be alot like an iPhone, Pre, or Android device.
Of course this is all imagination leading to speculation, but I don't think there will ever be a consumer device carrying the Blackberry name.05-28-09 11:47 PMLike 0 - patches152Bannednah, .148 came straight from the testing lair of VZW its self...so what they have, we have. nothing special. at least we have a build worth being called "official"05-29-09 12:01 AMLike 0
- patches152BannedI have a feeling that eventually, RIM will release a consumer wireless device. But i'd also be willing to bet that it would be a seperate brand from Blackberry. We'll call it the "Plum" for sake of discussion.

well something will be branded "consumer" but it won't be any different...the BB is what it is, and will never change. eventually it will die, and we'll all be sad, but we're all gonna have brain implants to transmit info back and forth.
still no wi-fi or EMS support though05-29-09 12:04 AMLike 0 - I'm sorry if I anyone read into my post to much. I have said before, don't read into anything to much. You will set yourself up for disapointment. . The surprise was just that my "mole" was on the money. That's all

- Besides the fact that if you've already upgraded, its easier to troubleshoot with tech over the phone if you have the "official" installed. They really dont like it when you have a leak installed.05-29-09 09:32 AMLike 0
- My VZW tech support guy actually told me to run a leaked OS. he informed me that every single employee in the store uses .148 now. they all recommend them to customers as well.05-29-09 10:38 AMLike 0
