Looks like it's running OS4 too

Also, do you know whether the 7290 and the 4.0 OS will make it unnecessary to subscribe to a 3d party BES/MDS solution, such as Reqwireless and Mail Street, for full html web browsing, and will these 3d parties still offer advantages to the basic 7290/4.0/Cingular package? Thanks |

I was judging by the picture viewer app and help app. But that doesn't look like my BB browser icon, and there's no network listed and it's got a full signal...
I'm thinking it's just a simulator pic... |
I'm wondering if the 3.8 OS is final preview as to what we'll see released in 4.0...
|
I had thought 3.8 was made for the 7100... :dunno;

From the icons of this BlackBerry, I can confirm it is BlackBerryOS 4.0 as far as I can tell. The Picture icon looks exactly the same as 4.0.0.100 or later, and the new Help icon too.
They would have to rename a version of 4.0 down to 3.8 for the 3.8 claim to be true for the 7290. In my opinion, this is unlikely to happen. As far as I know, 7100 is running 3.8 and the 7290 is running 4.0. This is my best guess. As of the moment, the new BlackberryOS 4.0.0.124 is getting close to production quality, so it's not unrealistic to expect that 7290 will have 4.0 preinstalled, IMHO... However, they may have used a mockup screenshot and this thing is relaly running 3.7.1.141 :D |
Ignoring the fact that the picture is a mockup anyway (no carrier and yet it has gprs), it is quite likely that the software is 3.8 since it has a stricter release date than 4.0 does and it couldn't be held up by any possible problems with the whole 4.0 system.
Realisitcally, 3.8 on both 7100 and 7290 will be fairly close to 4.0 given their release dates, while removing any dependancy on things like a 4.0 bes. |
