All Blackberry Curve and Storm Smartphones Not Upgradeable To Blackberry 6

blackberry 6 logo 450x251 All Blackberry Curve and Storm Smartphones Not Upgradeable To Blackberry 6

I know many will regret buying Blackberry smartphone now, except for model such as Bold 9700 and Bold 9650. The reason is very obvious, all Blackberry model except stated below is totally not compatible with Blackberry 6, the latest OS unveiled today. Yes, not even part of it. Zero! I for one, asking only for the new browser that support webkit for my Blackberry 8520, yes that’s one, but I know now that is impossible.

Probably, it is time to say good bye. Well, I know Storm 2 users even more frustrated because their phone is more expensive and newer.. The incompatibility is due to that, all these devices are having lower than 512 RAM, which I think is not really helpful for us to understand what’s the issue is. At least, give us part of the upgrade, if not all, at least we’re not feeling sidelined by RIM!
Compatibility with Existing BlackBerry Smartphones
BlackBerry 6 will debut on the new BlackBerry® Torch™ smartphone (announced today) available from AT&T on August 12 and it is also designed to run on select BlackBerry smartphones already in market. Subject to carrier certifications in the months ahead, the new OS is expected to be available for the BlackBerry® Bold™ 9700, BlackBerry® Bold™ 9650 and BlackBerry® Pearl™ 3G, as well as future BlackBerry smartphones.”

Blackpad.com Now In RIM’s Hand, Signal The RIM’s Tablet Is Near?

blackberry blackpad Blackpad.com Now In RIMs Hand, Signal The RIMs Tablet Is Near?

I love rumors, especially about the stuff that I love. But I never take seriously the rumors about Blackberry tablet. I feel at that time that Blackberry should improve it’s OS, it’s app store so it will be on par if not better than it’s rival. But now that Blackberry 6, the revamped OS is almost ready to meet the world, suddenly it make sense that Blackberry should have tablet as well. Why not right? Reading email in bigger screen. Much better. How about tablet shown above? I know it is fake one, Blackberry 6 in iPad, wth!

So when RIM take control Blackpad.com domain, it raise the question if that’s going to be the name of RIM’s tablet. The move create wave of curiosity what’s the motive behind this move. I don’t know, except RIM. Time will again be the deciding factory. Anyhow, Blackpad sounds ‘dark’, hot about Berrypad, sounds more delicious, isn’t?

You have seen a lot of Blackberry 6 photos and videos since the last couple of months. I’m sure you’re excited as other BB users considering Blackberry 6 has gone through detailed top down makeover. But most importantly, the browser is now supporting Webkit, which means the websites viewed in the browser going to be as beauty as the what you see in the like of  iPhone or Android phone.

Well, the wait almost comes to an end soon, as RIM is expected to announce the launch of BlackBerry 9800 in the US next Tuesday (at least 1-2 month before it hit our shores). The news is not come really as surprise as the rumors has been floating since early this month. As shown on many leaked images, Blackberry 9800 going to have traditional Blackberry keyboard, and… the new resistive touch screen. Gone the day of ‘Sure Press’ technology that live in the Storm and Storm 2. RIM has a high hope on Blackberry 6 and Blackberry 9800 to challenge the domination of iPhone and Android, but until the device safely tested by users, nothing can prove if Blackberry 9800 going to be iPhone or Android killer.

As Blackberry 6 nearing it’s release date, rumored to be 15 August (in the US), more videos leaked intentionally or unintentionally, but being a human, naturally unofficial stuff is more clear and tasty, right?? The most recent video obtained by folk at salomondrin.net showing Blackberry 9800 running on Blackberry 6, from the boot animation sequence till the phone is on. As you can guess, the touch screen is a must have here with pinch and zoom capability. The menu have been totally revamped. Instead of just 1 line of menu on existing OS, multiple line of menu that can be scrolled left right is good thing to have.

The official Blackberry Blog has also further fueled the excitement of their new OS with new set of photos showcasing the new multimedia menu. It’s not only they are prettier than they were today, but more features has been added. There are now Youtube integration, new camera control, new photo organizer and etc. With all these changes, the Blackberry identity you’re familiar with , black and blue color is still there though, so no worry. The only question remained is, when this phone will be released.
