Blackberry OS On Touch Pro!
 

In what must make some people cringe, and others laugh, it seems that now not only can Android run on WM, but also Blackberry too!

Re: Blackberry OS On Touch Pro!
 

do i still have to buy software?

Re: Blackberry OS On Touch Pro!
 

lol... You mean to be able to run the Blackberry OS on your Touch Pro? It seems that it is a Blackberry software program that is enabling this...

Re: Blackberry OS On Touch Pro!
 

No I would never put blackberry os on my tp maybe android.

Re: Blackberry OS On Touch Pro!
 

i wouldn't even put android on the touch pro, its barely working, if that... and there's like no apps for it. ask me in a year or so, but until then..

Re: Blackberry OS On Touch Pro!
 

lol.. I wouldn't either, but its a nice concept.. Like being able to run Windows XP on a Mac...

Re: Blackberry OS On Touch Pro!
 

As stated in the article, this is NOT Blackberry OS. It is simply a shell. This application has been in development now for quite some time. RIM decided to branch out and make its "experience" available to a multitude of devices, particularly Windows Mobile.

In conclusion, this is standard Windows Mobile with a BlackBerry shell, like TF3D.

Not gonna lie, this is HOT!

Looks like my dad's BB Bold

Re: Blackberry OS On Touch Pro!
 

lol... I have never used the BlackBerry OS, but if you like it... And it is running on a Touch Pro... That would be gold...

Re: Blackberry OS On Touch Pro!
 

The question here is, what would it take to convince your average corporate IT dept to let you use it? My company uses BB and so far they aren't making me carry one, but I wouldn't mind having the ability to access email without having to deal with my corp laptop.

There's no way I'll buy a BB for myself. If they want to buy me one, I'll fight like hell against carrying two devices, but probably have to comply. But if I can get them to sign off on BB service on my Touch Pro, that would be golden!

Re: Blackberry OS On Touch Pro!
 

Best of both worlds in that case Bk!

I Love my Device!

What do you think?!?

Re: News:Blackberry on Touch Pro!!! Real Deal...
 

I think if I wanted a Blackberry then I would have bought one.

Re: News:Blackberry on Touch Pro!!! Real Deal...
 

Does that allow you to use Blackberry's push email?

Re: News:Blackberry on Touch Pro!!! Real Deal...
 

I agree. That makes absolutely no sense whatever to me.

Re: News:Blackberry on Touch Pro!!! Real Deal...
 

Yes it does via Blackberry Connect!

Re: News:Blackberry on Touch Pro!!! Real Deal...
 

Has that person posted how to do it anywhere?

Re: News:Blackberry on Touch Pro!!! Real Deal...
 

It's just nice to have options "Word of your choosing here"'s!

Re: News:Blackberry on Touch Pro!!! Real Deal...
 

Do they make a Blackberry with a touch screen and an actual keyboard (non touchscreen kb)?

Re: News:Blackberry on Touch Pro!!! Real Deal...
 

It's being released, we'll know our "options" soon enough.

Re: News:Blackberry on Touch Pro!!! Real Deal...
 

Good Point!

Re: News:Blackberry on Touch Pro!!! Real Deal...
 

I want it for work because they only support blackberries..

I can run this on my WM phone and not have to carry around another device..

Re: News:Blackberry on Touch Pro!!! Real Deal...
 

I'm gonna move this since this is all pictures and the talk of "what if", etc.

There are a lot of people in that same situation. If it works and is efficient to use, a lot of people could benefit.

Re: News:Blackberry on Touch Pro!!! Real Deal...
 

soon ill be running blackberry, wm, and android on this thing. amazing.

Re: News:Blackberry on Touch Pro!!! Real Deal...
 

That's how it should be. We should have the choice to run whichever OS works best for us on our phones.

Re: News:Blackberry on Touch Pro!!! Real Deal...
 

RIM has set a goal for releasing a new device every quarter of 2009. The first quarter, they will release a new curve without 3G GSM with similar stylings of the BOLD. Second quarter they are going to release a combo touch screen and hard keyboard device that will look almost identical to the bold. Probably not coming to sprint given past releases, but defiinitely to AT&T. It will become my new work phone.

Re: Blackberry OS On Touch Pro!
 

Personally, if i wanted the blackberry software that bad...... i'd buy a blackberry... But it is good for different carriers!

Re: Blackberry OS On Touch Pro!
 

threads merged.

Re: Blackberry OS On Touch Pro!
 

Good lookin Coz!

Re: Blackberry OS On Touch Pro!
 

so when does this come out, only reason i want it is for push email....and i get bored easily so putting new software on my phone gets me through my work day

Re: Blackberry OS On Touch Pro!
 

From all the threads on all the forums I've read about this topic (8or9). No one has that answer. Lots of people asking that, but lots of people ignoring that Q too..

Re: Blackberry OS On Touch Pro!
 

Running this over WM just for email might actually be a good idea... BB's are unmatched in handling emails.

Re: Blackberry OS On Touch Pro!
 

Can you post the links to those threads? No need to triple or quadruple discuss the same topics?

Re: Blackberry OS On Touch Pro!
 

The only reason I would want this is to get work emails on my Touch Pro. They got rid of GoodLink and only have BES now. I hope there is just an email addon instead of the whole suite....

Re: Blackberry OS On Touch Pro!
 

Knowing XDA and PPC Geeks.. It will be hacked...

Re: Blackberry OS On Touch Pro!
 

Well if it's like an exe that you can switch to, you probably can just use it for emails and switch back to WM for everything else.

Re: Blackberry OS On Touch Pro!
 

True enough.. It will be interesting when it comes out..
