Default os 6.0? is it a pipe dream?

Please Login to Remove!

with 6.0 getting somewhat closer, and talks of a new bold with 6.0, will it be supported on the 9700?

I see no reason to get a new bold when my 9700 is fine but i would like 6.0...

From what has been floating around it looks like it may not. Sounds like this will be a 512mb only OS.

I think the leaks of the 9760 have made it pretty evident that the 9700 will probably NOT support OS 6.

The speculation I've read that makes the most sense to me is the 9700 will not get 6, but it will get some features of 6 in future upgrades to 5.

I'll be happy if the new browser works under OS 5... Less than a year to go on my current contract.
