Oh just spotted this strapline on the O2 page:

All forecast dates for new software are subject to accreditation by O2 and are provided for guidance only.

Sounds like a getout clause if ever I heard one...

or just like any other roadmap, either hardware or software, its subject to change. its a good thing though, if they are pushing it back it usually means they found a bug that needed to be fixed. its better they find it than a user.

i think the issue is that the carriers should have received the OS for certification two months ago and are just now getting it, per JC's post the other day. that will have ultimately delayed the OS release by atleast two months (from an April/May timeframe), if not longer (which may very well be the case, depending on the carrier). at best, i think we may see something from Asia over the next couple weeks, if history holds true.

I'm told by a reliable source that the release is pushed back to mid-May/June at the earliest.

For O2 I assume?

[ianoop]

is there any chance that 4.5 and windows or leopard (hoping leopard) will allow me to do things like talk through or dial through it? even a free third party app would do.

Main Page - BlackBerryFAQ there are instructions there for windows to use your device as a modem if that is what you are asking.

No, but it matters if no one releases it until June.

Actually, that doesn't really matter either.

Exactly, as long as its in good working order, thats all that really matters.

I know they won't, but I just wish RIM would come out and tell us. Is it April or May/June or July. I know they want to put it out soon, and I know that they won't put it out unless all the bugs are fixed. From the sounds of those who have the Beta version, the biggest issues is a memory leak which would be a major flaw. But you've got to know if it is close to being released or not.

since NO carrier in the world has certified this OS, what you have is still not a final version (provided it is "certified by RIM" not quite sure what that means). Things can still very much change from what you have to the final release.

I'd like to know where everyone get's their information from. Someone says that RIM says May/June or whatever. How do you know?! It's all just a bunch of corporate BS hype! I'm goin' to windows mobile. F RIM!

Lol. Seriously :P if you don't like BlackBerry's then go! An simple user update SHOULDN'T make you stay or leave to another phone, I mean, if something wasn't working correctly I'd understand that, but all the other os's are working "fine," and that there's no real reason to be upset. We'd all love to have the new os, and we're all waiting for it, but if an UPDATE to allow voice recording (because I assume you knew you couldn't do that before with ur current BlackBerry model) to make you leave, well then just leave :P rim'll get this out when they can. My phone still goes on the internet, and I still can use jivetalk, and email, so, yes, I'd like the update, and I can't wait but I'm not dying! Or leaving (yet, if I do leave it won't be because of a darn update hehe)
