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.

UPDATE: I am starting to see more and more positive reviews for the OS 6 leak. Check out what Ashley wrote in the comments below.
 

For those of us who downloaded the leaked OS 6 for the BlackBerry Bold 9700, and have learned that it is a complete pile of dung (replace dung as needed). AT&T has released OS 5.0.0.979 for the 9700, and this one is official. If your with a different carrier you will have to delete the vendor.xml file to install. As always, backup your data to be on the safe side. Also, please direct any negative comments concerning the leaked OS 6 to Taylor Martin, he made me post it.

Here is the link to download the official OS 5.0.0.979 from AT&T.

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!

Good news for some of our Canadian readers out there! WIND Mobile outed the BlackBerry Curve 3G as one of their upcoming devices via their own website. If the information on the WIND Mobile BlackBerry download page is correct, we will see the Curve 3G pop up sometime soon. They posted OS 5.0.0.977 for the BlackBerry Curve 3G, which doesn’t even show up in their current line up. It’s kind of funny to see the OS before the device.

If you’re in Canada and catch onto some news, make sure to let us know!

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.

Here is the link for the official OS 5.0.0.983 from Sprint.

Don’t forget to backup your data before installation. We also have How-To Guides available if you find yourself needing a little help. Check out our How-To Backup your data guide, and How-To Upgrade your OS guide for assistance.

Why do you think there is this hold out for OS 6? Also, if you find anything new in this release let us know. Leave your reply below.

Thanks to the tip dropped by Kingofrage, we now know that Sprint has released an official update for the BlackBerry Curve 8530. OS 5.0.0.973 has officially hit RIM’s website and is available for download for those of you who are interested. I know this is not the OS 6 update that BlackBerry users have been patiently (or not) been waiting for, but it’s a step in the right direction. Some will say this is nothing more than wishful thinking, but I still remain optimistic that RIM will include the Curve 8530 in the OS 6 device updates. Click on the link below to download the official update for the BlackBerry Curve 8530, and remember to backup your data prior to installation.
