New Verizon flyer touts BlackBerry 6

If you’re a Verizon BlackBerry user patiently awaiting BlackBerry 6, this may interest you quite a bit. A new Verizon BlackBerrry poster has posed for the camera, and it’s BlackBerry 6 talk along with it. Most of us have given BlackBerry 6 a go, and it’s a nice upgrade that’s definitely worth sticking around for. Unfortunately, the poster doesn’t give any dates, so it’s still just a waiting game. The good thing is that with Verizon ad kits hitting brick and mortar stores, the update is surely just around the corner. Hey, maybe Big Red will get into the holiday spirit and give BlackBerry 6 as a Christmas present to us all. Hang tight, and we’ll let you know as more information comes.

BlackBerry 9650 could be preloaded with BlackBerry 6 in near future?

Rebate forms are often a carrier or manufacturers way of leaking a little tidbit out, whether accidental or not.  The latest rebate from from Verizon shows two new SKU’s regarding the 9650.  While this is purely speculation, we can safely assume that the 9650 may soon see BlackBerry 6!  If that is the case, this will be the first Bold device to get bumped up, and on the carrier that seems to be notoriously slow with upgrades no less!

So how many of you have a 9650 and are looking for a nice upgrade?  Also, if you plan on staying with OS5, let us know in the comments below!

BlackBerry Bold 9650 gets official OS 5.0.0.983 from Sprint

 

Sprint has been on top of their game in the past week rolling out update after update. Why should they stop now? This latest release is another OS 5 update, and is just about as close as you can get to OS 6 without actually releasing it. With that being said, Sprint and RIM have just officially released OS 5.0.0.983 available for the BlackBerry Bold 9650. I know what your thinking, because I’m thinking the same thing. Why would they release another OS 5 update when there are already leaked versions of OS 6 floating around. I wish I had a good answer for you, but I have ran out of excuses. If your interested in downloading OS 5.0.0.983 from Sprint, hit the link below.

Verizon preparing for BlackBerry 6 launch?

Good news for everyone on Verizon Wireless! It looks just like Verizon is getting ready for an update to BlackBerry 6. It’s coming to the Bold 9650 and the Curve 3G for sure but it’s not yet known when Verizon decides to update, but now it seems they’re getting closer to an actual release.

This was discovered by some people running the previously leaked OS 6.0.0.280 that were asked to update their Email Setup Application. It also seems this is only happening when you’re setting up a new BIS email account. Did anyone of you come across this as well?
