6.1 OS software availible soon...Bold Touch by end of May?
- The announcement of 6.1 software being availible soon gives me hope that at BlackBerry World Conference in May, RIM will be releasing the Bold Touch at the end of May or early June? what does everyone else think?03-28-11 09:40 AMLike 0

If so how many months will it be before carriers test and approve it for release to devices on their systems?03-28-11 10:29 AMLike 0 -
- I don't think a full 6.1 OS will run on any smartphone under 1.2ghz processor speed, but from all that i've read, maybe 6.1 lite will for 800mghz.03-28-11 10:42 AMLike 0
- Me too. that's usually when RIM does release thier new phones (not upgrades) Curve 8330 in early June '08, Bold 9650 late May '10...also if those of you (like me) who are eligible for an upgrade, and have Sprint, good news, Sprint has stopped (indefinatly) starting today, making you ante up $100.00 upfront for the mail-in rebate. Hopefully 2 things happen June 8th (my contract with Sprint ends) ONE the Bold Touch will already be availible AND the mail-in rebate waiver will still be going on03-28-11 10:50 AMLike 0

If history repeats itself then we could be looking at some new device announcements, with one of those devices going to market shortly after announcement with the 6.1 updates and other devices slowly rolling out after.
That of course assumes they take a similar path this year which.. I hope they don't because now is not the time to be sitting on their butts when it comes to new smartphones. PlayBook is great and all but unless some new phones show up soon they're cutting themselves short.03-31-11 12:54 AMLike 0 - The carriers probably will play a big role in the delay. I am certain RIM would like to roll out on all carriers after a big announcement at WES/BBW, however will the carrier testing be completed by the big 4 carriers at that time?03-31-11 07:04 AMLike 0

- I can't see RIM waiting until September to release the Bold Touch or Monaco for that matter, they need somthing NEW and able to compete with an Android or iphone NOW, not until September. The Bold Touch will be thier flagship smartphone for 2011, the sooner it's released and hopefully lives up to the expectations of the 6.1 OS & 1.2 GHz...then RIM has footing to then release the Monaco with the Torch 2 not far behind, and later the Appolo/Sodona and Curve Touch. Again, I'm still seeing late May for the release of the Bold Touch03-31-11 08:07 AMLike 0
