BB10 OS update

[Sanj]

I believe the OS update is being rolled out. Any idea when O2 will have the update?  It's meant to prolong battery life etc.

Got a tweet from O2 stating " no announcement at present, watch this space". Pretty poor.

Very poor indeed. All I'm asking for is a reason, which might make me a little more understanding and patient.

'No announcement at present' will simply alienate more customers; my suspicions are always aroused when dealing with organisations that are less than transparent. What are they hiding?

Hi guys,

Let me see what I can find out for you. Will give you a shout as soon as I have some more information.

Cheers,

Hi guys,

I managed to get some more specific information about the BB10 OS update.

Our device team has only tested BB10 for the Z10 and has released the software update. Unfortunately, they currently don't have any plans to test older Blackberry models.

It's perhaps not the answer you were hoping to get, but as soon as this changes, I will let you know here.

Cheers,
Leonard

BB10 OS is only compatible with the Z10 anyway. Not even BB have any plans for any other devices....

Playbook excepted

Thanks Leonard for looking into this.

I am not getting the update, and when I check I get the message I have latest version. The most recent update still not available for o2 customers

Correct - I should have specified phones

Not holding my breath for the Playbook, but at least it will be delivered straight from BlackBerry!
