Sneak a peek at Blackberry OS 6.0

Apr 20, 2010 Berry, Firmware

Photo Courtsey of BGR

So I came across this gem on twitter today as I was wading through the stream… and it was too good to share. Boy Genius Report managed to snag a series of screenshots of the 6.0 OS, and boy are they good. Among the new styling are tabbed browsing and redone media player. If you want to see more of this you definitely need to head over to BGR and check out the full shots.

For those who want to know a little more… They’ve apparently done more with the inbox (making facebook, twitter, email, sms all flow together better), photos layout and more. The interesting thing I noticed is that these seem to be on a touch screen device….

5.0.0.348 for the 8900 and 9000 spotted!

Nov 11, 2009 Firmware

And why not? Today’s a good day for those abusers sporting the Bold 9000 or the Curve 8900 as 5.0.0.348 has been spotted in the wild for both. We’re not sure what these offer (as we’re using the latest and greatest from AT&T on our bold) but we’re sure some of you bleeding edge users out there will want to try this out on your devices.

Please make sure that you’re careful when upgrading to these releases as they could BREAK YOUR PHONE BEYOND REPAIR! Well, maybe not that, but they could ruin your day.

Leaked: 5.0.0.190 for Bold and 8900 w/ threaded SMS; 5.0.0.154 for Storm 9530; OS 5.0.0.140 for Tour!

Aug 26, 2009 Firmware

Wow. What a week so far. First, AT&T releases an OFFICIAL release with Visual Voicemail in it (now us Bold users can rebuff the iPhone Phans) and now, FOUR hot OS leaks for the 9000, 8900, 9630, and 9530. How about that?

The release for the Bold and Curve feature threaded SMS in it, which until now was only possible with a 3rd party app. This is a huge step forward for Blackberry users and one which many people have been clamoring for for a while. There are some other features included as well as a couple that have been dropped (no tabbed browsing at the moment). If you try it, please let us know what you think.

Please Note: Upgrading to a Beta OS can result in a bricked device. Please do this at your own risk!!
