End of updates to 6? Of course not. I had a Pearl 8100 that I got in '07. The last update it got to OS 4.5 was issued in Jan. Of 2010, almost 3 years later and well after most of the other models moved on to OS 5.

No word on a real OS 6.1 for the "legacy" phones, but I can't believe they will ignore a user base locked into contracts and not at least give use some of the UI fixes of 7 that we've been complaining about since the day the original Torch was released. Issues addressed that RIM so proudly touted several months back when it was still called 6.1 and so obviously directed at existing OS 6 users.
