xplode...Are you feeling like this device will be strictly GSM or will there be a CDMA variant?

Yes, that is quite a pity. But we do appreciate what you have/will provide. So thanks in advance.

On another note. There is plenty of time to change platforms between now and the tentatively scheduled release dates. Technology is reinventing itself almost daily.

i was just referring to the magnum/dakota device. No mention has been made of the software used at this point. the second part of his post was not what i was responding to.

What you mean? There's a Magnum/Dakota device out there with software. And from what I heard it was 5.1. I'll try to find out today, and if not. Everyone will see soon...

I did not say OS 5.1 was dropped. I said OS 5.1 was dropped for the storm 2. But like i said before there has been no mention of possible future devices OS's

The Storm 2? this will be a GSM and CDMA device.

I meant the Magnum/Dakota device xplode. I believe the device model is scheduled to be 9900. I would like to think that there may be a 9930 or a 9950 device as a variant.

Hello E...This beast looks to be an all around device. Like a Ferrari with all the options. A CDMA for this trick would definitely have my attention.

The Pluto is the one who is rumored to be 9900. The Magnum/Dakota is rumored to be a 92XX device. Going out on a limb to say it's the 9200. It'll be an add on to the Bold line up most likely.

Thank you ausch....The numbers are not adding up for me however.

I could only see myself using a CDMA device at this time. All these numbers indicate GSM devices only.

You might be seeing a CDMA Hybrid maybe 2Q 2010 (rough estimate). Some already failed.

My friend here you are partial right partial wrong,Magnum/Dakota, Driftwood and Pluto seems to be the same device on each variant, they will probably be a rebuild of the bold or at least following the same line, 9900, 9920 and 9930/50 is my guess

ausch..... where exactly do you pull this information? :irked: because i wouldnt place any bets on that

Let's remember that nothing is final until the day of release. I appreciate anyone willing to share what information they can get with our members. But if I remember my corporate ladder correctly there is always someone that knows more.

Thank you everyone

Right in the point sir, knowing RIM nothing is true until the release date

Remember how many times they bounced around the release date of the first Storm!?!

September became October became November...

Well in Verizon's case they were still slapping stickers on the Storm 1 boxes to reflect the last minute OS change. The problem is everything in is in beta, your life, my life, technology, we use the close we wear. Do we really think Apple came up with the iPhone in short order, it likely took them a lot longer to get it done than we all think.

If RIM would take the OS update approval process away from the carriers like Apple does for their phone then maybe we could see more incremental updates instead of waiting months and months. Of course Apple has but ONE phone and its GSM and no real physical keyboard so RIM must constantly tweak and refine and edit and insure what works on the Curve gen works on another. Apple sees the world as N+1 (or is it N+2) but in either case Gen1 buyers are soon to be in the cold.
