The new features will probably arrive around the same time as 3rd party apps for the iPhone that render my BlackBerry 8830 obsolete (well, to _me_ anyway. It's still an excellent device.)

Ryan made a big "thing" about it at the time. Now it's kinda become what I call "folk-knowledge".

The process almost seems recursive.

Good luck. :-)]]>Jan 23rd 2008 2:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/23/rim-readies-big-updates-for-its-blackberry-platform/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/23/rim-readies-big-updates-for-its-blackberry-platform/Jan 23rd 2008 12:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/23/rim-readies-big-updates-for-its-blackberry-platform/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/23/rim-readies-big-updates-for-its-blackberry-platform/
What you need to know first is when Verizon is going to allow the new updates to be installed altogether. OEMs provide the upgrades to the carriers who then provide them to the end users. Unfortunately, Verizon customers including myself will probably have to wait since Big Red is notorious for dragging their feet on any sort of update. ]]>Jan 23rd 2008 12:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/23/rim-readies-big-updates-for-its-blackberry-platform/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/23/rim-readies-big-updates-for-its-blackberry-platform/
That's one big change i would love to see on the BlackBerry platform: More consistent and unified OS releases across all carriers and all devices. Their support costs must be just ridiculous!]]>Jan 23rd 2008 12:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/23/rim-readies-big-updates-for-its-blackberry-platform/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/23/rim-readies-big-updates-for-its-blackberry-platform/Jan 23rd 2008 12:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/23/rim-readies-big-updates-for-its-blackberry-platform/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/23/rim-readies-big-updates-for-its-blackberry-platform/Jan 23rd 2008 12:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/23/rim-readies-big-updates-for-its-blackberry-platform/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/23/rim-readies-big-updates-for-its-blackberry-platform/Jan 23rd 2008 2:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/23/rim-readies-big-updates-for-its-blackberry-platform/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/23/rim-readies-big-updates-for-its-blackberry-platform/
Document Downloading and Editing – " users will be able to edit Microsoft® Office Word, PowerPoint® and Excel® files" Oh god no. Come on RIM.. you're strength is your simplicity. What's next? Mobile Photoshop?

And along with everyone else.. stop letting carriers create their own flavor of the OS. Allow them optional add-ins that I can refuse to install. Managing BBs across 6 carriers in the US and Canada this design plan is a disaster.]]>Jan 23rd 2008 12:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/23/rim-readies-big-updates-for-its-blackberry-platform/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/23/rim-readies-big-updates-for-its-blackberry-platform/out there they are cool, but until they support ActiveSYNC they are a
no go for most businesses.
