Fixed it for ya, since your statement made no sense.

And yeah, I don't know why for sure, never said I did - that's why I did use the word "apparently." Here's what we do know:
  • A 6.1 OS beta exists for the 9800
  • 6.1 was renamed to 7
  • Therefore it follows that the 9800 is able to run 6.1/7 in some form
  • That beta has never found its way into the wild - hasn't leaked
  • RIM has now decided to not make OS 7 (the renamed 6.1) publicly available for the 9800
  • None of us can authoritatively say why, we can just speculate

Happy with that?

Thanks for the lecture though.
