The BlackBerry Torch 9800 was a disappointment for me because I felt it didn't live up to the launch hype. Besides, I'm not a touch screen devotee. The BlackBerry device I've been desperately waiting for has been the BlackBerry Bold 9780. The smartphone, aka Bold 3 is just out in North America, and with release cycles in India now just a few months behind North America, it should be hitting Indian shores around a month from now (give or take a few weeks).
The biggest reason behind my anticipation was BlackBerry OS 6, which the Bold 9780 would feature, besides double the RAM (512 MB as opposed to the 256 MB on the Bold 9700), and a camera with a higher 5 megapixel rating than the Bold 9700's 3.2 MP shooter. I did get to play around with OS 6 on the Torch 9800 and while the experience didn't leave me awed, I was quite eager to check out how the new Os 6 would fare on the Bold 9780.
Thousands of other Bold 9700 users were also keenly waiting for the 9780, as evidenced by the many forum posts on sites dedicated to BlackBerry. So, when Crackberry.com announced on November 2 that they had a leaked OS 6 release for the 9700, all hell broke loose.
I've been using the BlackBerry Bold 9700 on a long-term review for around 4 months now, and while I usually don't try out a leaked OS release, this one was too good to resist. So, rather than write a plain vanilla long-term review of the 9700, I thought I'd spice things up by telling you about my experience with OS 6 on the 9700.
