You know its completely possible but there needs to be some serious updates to the bb to put them into the NOW. Such as html email support and office document management and editing...

Great - RIM Longhorn - will we get gored just like with Vista?


The "P" in PDA stands for "personal" as there is no one right device for everyone.

To answer the OP's original question that was asked on 2/4 and it is now 2/15 I can now confirm it will not be released during the week in question.

I called one of those psychic hotlines, and they are 100% sure it will be the first week in March.

I am just waiting on anything new from RIM. The Curve and 8820 are starting to bore me agian. I even went to a iPhone for 2 days! I was never so glad to see EDGE back on my 8820 but I am getting bored!

I would love to just see 4.5 but I am still betting we will get a new device with 4.5 introduced first and that is months away according to my sources, months!

what device on the GSM side is months away? A new device launched not that long ago for Suncom (the 8120 pearl 2). I know its tough to wait but things have been released on a fairly regular basis.

The people who first started publishing this rumor (as well as the ones about the 8500, etc) based this information on domain names purchased a couple years ago by RIM, nothing more. It has since spread from that to people having 'confirmed, concrete evidence' that it will be the 8900. There may be something internal called the 8900, but there will not be public device that will be called that. The next new device from RIM, aside from the CDMA-based 8330, will be the 9000. This one currently has OS 4.6.0.x (it was at .4 the last I heard, which I presume to be fairly new).

Lol, I couldn't care less what the model number is or will be. You and everyone else know which bb I was referring to.
