As many of you I have been following the Crackberry forums closely for quite a while now and the last several weeks its being filled up more and more with all kinds of cr*p threads about people�s opinions based on them being disappointed about BB10�s delay, false facts and farfetched rumours without any trustworthy source.

Let�s be honest people, unless you are a troll, you are here for real facts, real stories and good discussions based on real information. I (and I think I speak for many) grew completely tired of all these pathetic threads to get people demotivated and to fill their minds with fake information.

With that being said I think it�s a good moment to take the initiative to start a (sticky) thread containing real facts and rumours with an actual source:

For example:
- BB10, its confirmed features, progress and release date.
- BB10 devices, names, specs, form factor and other interesting information.
- Playbook, its OS, release dates for updates, 4g version, development.
- RIM related stock/market share information
- <Suggestion by you>

This thread isn�t created to �sugar-coat� RIM or BlackBerry related �bad� news, it�s here so the Crackberry users can have a quick overview of what�s actually going on and what things are to come in the future, good or bad things. Let�s just make sure there�s a very clear difference between �Fact�, �Opinion� and �Rumour�.

I would like to ask you all to help provide this thread (or me by PM) with real facts, rumours and other interesting stories related to RIM or Blackberry with a source. I will keep the thread updated as best as I can.

The format of the tread will be as below:
Blackberry 10:
Software/OS:
< Subject >
< Short description >
< Source >

Devices:
< Subject >
< Short description >
< Source >

PlayBook:
Software/OS
< Subject >
< Short description >
< Source >

Research in motion:
Stock information:
< Subject >
< Short description >
< Source >
Leaks:
< Subject >
< Short description >
< Source >

And so on..

With a little effort of us all we can get this thread easily going and hopefully clear Crackberry�s forums a bit of its trash.

Thank you for reading and your potential contribution to this thread

And as Thorsten says:

Let�s rock and roll this!

While at it, I suggest you use the following xml form (much easier to compile, even with Excel or openOffice):

[/HTML]Funny, I was thinking yesterday to an app for that.
If enough returns, I may consider it seriously.

Sounds good Superfly_FR, although an App would have to be downloaded first, a thread in these forums is for now easier accessed and found by other users. Today I finished my study Application Developer so depending on the language you'll be programming in I might be able to assist

This is a good idea. Too bad you can't find a RIM insider "in the know" to update it.

Well, the pb 4g was supposed to be released in July in emerging markets. That was from a recently laid off rim emoloyee. I had no info on NA, just the Caribbean and Latin America. I have zero idea why it was pushed back now.
