If you're going to post a link post the source. Too many blogs, including my own post their own thoughts and sometimes quotes from the source MAY be out of context.

yes RIM is working on bringing BBConnect back to nokia s60 but will it just be BBConnect or BB App Suite nobody knows or when.
Your "FRIEND" that sourced a site to somehow spoof E71 to another device like E90 for BBConnect probably was talking out his/her arse and thinking that Product Code changing - which voids your warranty - would do it when the codes for any other device will NOT match for a different model and thus not even Phoenix desktop SW which does this would work - probably screw up your E71 and brick it.
Please if true get your "freind" to get the link and post all info & stop spreading misinformation.
Seems like you may be "jplunks" from Howardforums posting a question like this today.
