Why is the OS 6.0 not available for the BB Storm 2? This phone basically got screwed because it only came out about a year ago and it looks like it wont get any of the upgrades with the Droids coming out because people are choosing those over the BB. Well, for those of us who cant upgrade for like another year and are stuck with the BB we would at least like some of the new cool features!!

I would like to know why RIM launched OS 6 and yet not all BB are upgradable? I mean not everyone has money to buy a good phone for example they launched OS 6 only for storms and bolds and the new curve but not the 8530 what’s the accomplishment? To make people buy better phones when are not affordable I think rim can doa better job

For those of you who cannot wait that long a Blackberry OS 6.0 theme has been created called “I Dream of 6″. It is completely OS 6.0 inspired and the theme features fully customizable dock icons, wallpaper friendly, animated menus, custom icons and the developer has promised free upgrade when new icons and features are added.
