Copy that. I just seem to remember that with my 9000 the OS upgrades continued beyond the release of 9700 (and I see they have still come out)? To drop upgrades suddenly on a year-old model, knowing that many of the users are locked into conteracts with carriers, ...makes me wonder about RIM's strategic view of its customer base.
Of course, if when I am able to upgrade to another phone (especially the QNX) with ATT, I only have to pay a few dollars, then I'll probably be able to live with that.
