Leaked OS 6.0.0.431 for the BlackBerry Bold 9650

*UPDATE* - Check out this post in the forums for the exact details of what this is. It uses official files but no installer was given so one had to be created. You can decide for yourselves if that makes it official or a Hybrid.

*UPDATE 2* - If you weren't happy about having a non-signed RIM installer file you can now grab the official RIM installable file from here. Thanks to Verizon and of course, @theiexplorers

All of you BlackBerry Bold 9650 owners out there will be happy to see that OS 6.0.0.431 has leaked for your devices tonight! Word has it you're likely looking at bug fixes and minor app updates in this one. If you were waiting for a new OS for your 9650 or if you are a hybrid builder, you can download it from the link below! Let us know in the comments what fixes you see if you choose to install this leak. Take caution however, you must have OS .333 or .415 installed before you can upgrade to .431 as noted by the source.

*OS Disclaimer - Please Read: Keep in mind this is NOT an official release and as such is not supported by RIM or your Carrier. If you choose to install, do so at your own risk and only if you're comfortable in the process of upgrading and downgrading your device software. It is quite normal during operating system development for certain features to be crippled or disabled while others are tested, and these beta builds often reflect that. They are not always better. Depending on your BlackBerry comfort level, it may be best for you to wait for community feedback on a build before deciding to download and install for yourself or simply wait for the next official release. If you require support, you will find it in our CrackBerry forums via our extremely knowledgeable community base - do not contact your carrier or RIM for Beta OS technical support (their first course of action will be to advise you to downgrade to a supported OS). *

CrackBerry Reminder: What you may have missed this week

CrackBerry Reminder What You May Have Missed

BlackBerry Service Blocked in Egypt…

If you have not been paying attention to the news recently you might have missed the mass protests and rioting going on in Egypt. I will not cover that in detail but we just heard from Hisham in Egypt confirming that BlackBerry Service has been blocked in the past few minutes.

He has confirmed the block across 3 networks including Mobinil, Vodafone, and Etisalat. Egypt has already blocked Twitter and Facebook due to the strikes and protests but this is the first time I have heard of them blocking BlackBerry Service.

Twitter is also going crazy with reports that BlackBerry Service is blocked

Let us know if you have any updates from Egypt!

Antair Releases Free Boxee Remote Control App for BlackBerry

I have recently started to really get into Boxee which is why I am really excited about Antair’s new Boxee remote app. The app allows you to simply control your Boxee TV from your BlackBerry though it does require some setup. It also includes advertisements to support the app but they are not that intrusive. My guess is that a paid version will come out soon without those ads.

You can pick up the new Boxee Remote for BlackBerry app at this link in the store. Kudos to Antair for the cool app!

BlackBerry News From The Wire for the week of 1/17/11

It’s kind of hard to top last week, no? It was then that we discussed four new BlackBerry models slated for 2011 releases. Something tells me that there won’t be many more surprises this year. But that doesn’t mean the news will stop. We’ve got plenty more stuff to explore this week.

Will RIM open up BBM to other smartphone platforms?

An interesting article appeared on Electronista late last week. Apparently RIM has considered developing a system that would allow IT departments to manage all of its corporate smartphones, BlackBerry and non-BlackBerry alike. It took a couple of reads to really understand the idea, but it does sound like something could benefit RIM. Corporations would have a single platform for device management, which makes life easier on them. And RIM ensures its corporate relevancy for years to come.

Here’s the best paragraph in the article in terms of explanation:

BlackBerry Connect could already manage some non-RIM devices, but only if they communicated in a method RIM’s software could understand. The new approach could let the single platform manage a competing platform even if it didn’t use any BlackBerry-related features. It would have to be “done differently” due to the platform changes, the executive said, but it was possible.

Of course, that’s just the dry, boring stuff. The interesting stuff is what Endgadget adds: could this mean BBM on Android and iPhone? In one way that would devalue the BlackBerry platform, since it would be one less exclusive feature keeping people with RIM. But in another way, if the iPhones and Androids using BBM are managed on a RIM-created platform, we can see that there is a way for RIM to benefit.

Obviously nothing official has been announced, and RIM VP Pete Devenyi has said that it was just something they’d been tossing around. Still, the potential seems excellent.

Tip of the Week: Set ringtones for specific contacts in OS 5.0. We had an old guide, but that’s outdated at this point.

The PlayBook without a BlackBerry

I know that some people aren’t too happy that they need a BlackBerry smartphone in order to gain features such as messaging and calendar on the PlayBook. We knew this was coming for almost a year now, and it still doesn’t make the situation any better. Imagine, then, what non-BlackBerry users think. If people who do have a BlackBerry device don’t like the tethering issue, then what are the BlackBerry-less masses going to think?

RIM, for its part, says not to worry. Here’s a quote from Ryan Bidan, a RIM senior product manager in charge of the PlayBook, via Forbes:

“On its own, this is a great standalone tablet. This is not a device that is reliant on a BlackBerry…There have been some misconceptions about the role this device plays.”

It’s a standalone tablet, in other words, with the added bonus of having the ability to tether. Still, I do see where Avi Greengart, the analyst who panned the PlayBook, is coming from. People expect certain things from a BlackBerry, and to make those features available to only BlackBerry users might prove to be an obstacle for sales.

Still, it sounds as though RIM has big plans for the device. They’re figuring on 1 million shipments in the first quarter. We know they have a WiMax version set for a summer release through Sprint. Now it appears that they’ll have one for AT&T’s 3G network, with an LTE version to follow. This only further makes me wonder what happened to RIM’s relationship with Verizon.

Meet your 2011 BlackBerry lineup

XTop Mobile creates a connection between your BlackBerry and PC

It used to be that BlackBerry devices and other PDAs were meant for traveling employees. These devices represented an easy way for them to stay in contact while on the road. That has clearly changed in recent years. Now people who sit at desks all day have smartphones. I’m not sure how everyone uses their smartphone while at work, but unless I’m doing work on my BlackBerry I don’t use it too frequently. XTop Mobile could change my relationship with my device — well, it would, if I had a PC. The app allows you to access content and functions of your BlackBerry, right on your PC.

The app just launched as a public beta, and here is what it can do:

For 30 days you’ll be able to do all this through the beta program, free of charge. The company does plan to make this a premium app when it launches in full next month, but at least by then you’ll know whether or not the app works for you. They say that the full app will include tethering, among other new features.

To sign up, just go to XTopMobile.com and follow the download instructions. It will work with BlackBerry devices running OS 4.5 and above — though they do leave out OS 4.6. For the PC it requires Windows XP, Vista, or 7, .Net Framwork 2.0 or 3.5, and a Bluetooth receiver.

Via Bla1ze.
