Mon, 27 Dec 2010 03:41:51 +0000

Good News for loyal Blackberry Users.

Its been a long wait for anxious Bold users but the time has officially arrived, at least for sprint members. Sprint has officially released OS 6.0.0.415 for the Bold 9650.

Verizon Users don’t get too upset. A Verizon OS 6 Upgrade guide was spotted in a Verizon Retail Store; one can only assume it was released by accident. We have had several other hints leading up to this making the release of the Bold/Curve OS6 Software inevitable. RIM stated that they would be releasing the upgrade for all eligble devices by the end of the year. Well, January is only a few days away, Sprint has jumped the gun and released it to its subscribers. Hopefully it wont be much longer for Verizon members.

The new OS is quoted to be “The ultimate blend of productivity and fun”, those of us who have the Torch know it to be true and the rest of us are anxiously waiting to find out for our own.

Both the Bold and Curve are shown in the flyer however it isn’t specifically showing the OS on the actual device. Take it for what you want, this could just be a fluke on Verizon’s part and the flyer was released a bit to early. But I personally believe that the flyer is an overall good sign and it makes us one step closer to the much anticipated official release.
