Phones / Re: RIM (Blackberry) Should Provide OS Upgrade. by martinkem(m): 7:00pm On Feb 06, 2013
amblors:

The difference between a low end and high end android device is not littlem very few people depend on the apps than come with the device.
I get ur point tho, I take it back, the bold 5 should be good enuf to run BB10, thats me guessing tho.
BB 7 is Java based
BB10 is linux based

Even bb os 6 devices didn't get upgraded to OS7.
Let alone a diff OS, we should understand.

S2 can run Jelly Bean, has it Gotten it yet? Officially?

People in Spain have gotten the jellybean update, i have flashed my own with a leaked official update not a custom rom.

HD2 ran Windows mobile based on Windows CE when it was made but today we have seen it run Windows Phone 8(based on Windows NT), Windows Phone 7, Android Jelly bean (based on Linux), Meego (Linux based too), Windows 7 and 8 RT, Ubuntu. And whats sso funny is that it has only 578MB RAM and aa single core 1GHz CPU.
If u dont believe me see it for yourself.

Enough said, am done

amblors: My friend its mostly about hardware specs. The fluidity of Android on a Note is different from your android experience on say an LG L3.
One exciting thing about the Q10 is its smoothness of the OS which is only possible coz of the great hardware on it.
Put that OS on the bold 5, and people would begin to complain of slow bootup times, more lagging, more frustrating user experience
Its prob gonna work but then u may have to tweak the OS too.
Anyways, I'm waiting for the Q10


Have u used the L3 and the Note before you came to that conclusion, I have used a Galaxy S,Pocket and own a Galaxy S2, and the performance isn't thar different for the apps that come bundled with it, unless you try to run a HD game like Dead Trigger you wont have complaints about the Pocket,

Still trying to make excuses for Blackberry, anyone with basic knowledge of economics would understand why there would be no upgrades for OS7 users and about the Playbook do u know that it runs the same software as Blackberry 10 (based on QNX, all blackberry has to do is put the apps in an update container and Viola it's the same thing across board).

walcolm: @OP,

technically, you can install the OS but you would barely be able to start the phone not to talk of using it. the reason most of the existing BBs wont get the update is because their hardware cannot run the OS properly. the fastest BB processor is currently single core 1.2GHz and the RAM on the 9900 is less than 800MB which is the most on any BB.



only the Playbook (dual core 1GHz A9 Cortex processor with up to 64GB RAM) can run the OS with no problem


I did a little checking and gsmarena says that the

Playbook has a dual core 1GHz CPU (makes sense as it is required tonpower a bigger screen) and 1GB of ram

Bold 9900 has a single core 1.2GHz CPU (smaller screen, small screen resolution (wp7, android and iOS can work well with 800MHz, I downclocked my SGS2 to 800MHz andbit works as good as it did with the 1.2GHz) with 768 MHz (android, windows phone can work with 512MB or less).

My point is thar the reason isn't about hardware it was about getting the demand fir new phones high enough to necessitate a buy.

I really utterly doubt that the Playbook has a 64GB RAM, in fact it is impossible, even Windows PC Dont have more thanks 16GB RAM even 8GB is considered very plenty,

You should be able to run the New OS on the 9900, the single core and RAM should be able to make the OS run well enough but Blackberry can jot and would not honthat route, it's kind of like the way Microsoft has limited the devices running windows phone 7 from getting Windows Phone 8 (when the new WP8 Lumia 620 has the same specs as the Lumia 800 and 900, even the HTC HD2 which originally ran Windows mobile has been able to run WP7, Wp8, android and a host of new OS).

Blackberry's decision is nothing more than a commercial one. They sell you a Blackberry OS7.1 which is really OS6.2 now because the QNX based Blackberry 10 wasn't ready and when it was sell you the Blackberry 10 device without an option to upgrade the older models so that you would feel.like you are missing out and cough money to buy the new devices.
Phones / Re: RIM (Blackberry) Should Provide OS Upgrade. by martinkem(m): 7:20pm On Feb 05, 2013
I dont think they can do that, first it was an open secret that the current crop of blackberrys like the bold 5 and 6 were not going to have the upgrade before they were sold, and secondly if they push these updates to the older models what incentive would their be for people to buy the z10 and Q10.
Phones / Another Blackbery 10 Device Leaked by martinkem(m): 5:37pm On Feb 05, 2013
Just when you thought you knew the two
Blackberry 10 Devices, another one makes
an appearance
Blackberry just announced a variant to the
Z10 and this one comes with a hardware
QWERTY keyboard. Unlike the Z10
announced a week ago this one isn't for the
general public (well, not yet considering the
Original Z10 was also said to be the same
almost a year ago). For now only developers
can get there hands on this device

Popular rapper Rick Ross was almost a
victim of a gun related incident earlier today
(January 28) when a car pulled up on his
Rolls Royce and started shooting. TMZ has
broken the news about the incident but has
not been able to confirm if the Rapper or his
female passenger had escaped unhurt from
the incident. The incident occurred at Fort
Lauderdale, Florida's Los Olas Boulevard,
near 15th Avenue. The Rapper crashed his
Rolls Royce Phantom while accelerating
away from the shooters, into a building.
At present, no arrests have been made or
suspects have been named. A witness had
said that the Rapper looked shaken up after
the incident. The rapper has had a run-in
with a Street gang Gangstar Disciple, who
demanded that the rapper pay some
protection money to the group.
