Re: Playbook OS 1.0.7.2942 upgrade available now

This update allows the use of Bridge capabilities with MOST [if not all] PB apps. This is a huge boost in PB versatility, at least for BlackBerry phone users.

Re: 9900 Bell

I believe the reason for the name change is not that it's a whole lot different from OS6 but rather that OS7 can't be run on earlier devices [like the 9700 etc]. This can reasonably justify a major...
