Thread: adobe flash player for 9800

It seems I do not have adobe flash player o my torch 9800, is this a RIM issue?

At this point if you want flash on a blackberry device you need to purchase a playbook.

The upcoming BlackBerry devices will be Flash supported with OS 7.

Do you have a source to support that?

It's my assumption. It's been reported that BB OS 7 won't support flash on release, but I do think that RIM will update the OS for flash support. Seeing how close OS 7 resembles the PlayBook QNX, I have faith that it will happen.

That is what past reports say. But, I see no reason physically why the upcoming devices will not being able to support flash. If RIM is planning on supporting Flash, they are playing it safe by not saying so as of yet. Rumors have said that it will be BlackBerry OS 8 that supports flash. OS 7 will support HTML 5 however, like the iPhone, this has been confirmed.

Guess well have to wait then

Btw, remember when we were all on OS 4.7? There was no way we could have flash

I hope that there will be flash support, but I won't hold my breath. I will be getting the 9900 when it is released regardless of this.

I've read multiple stories like that already. Call me an optimist, but I do believe that they will surprise us with a flash update for OS 7. I could be wrong, but the OS 7 devices are capable.

I find that Jor Jerde is a greatest ower about Black Berrty. I have read lots of posts. splendidly!!!

Oh stop it, you are making me blush. ...

Yvonnewa, what BlackBerry device are you using?

I haven't bought. I want to get a new one. Can you give some suggestions. To mode and practicability and playfulness.

It all depends on what you like. If you like to use BlackBerries as a business-type phone, the Bold device line is the best-you won't get the clicky keys of the Curve line or the touchscreen problems with the Storm line. If you are a social person, you might want to check out the Curves, they are excellent for playing music due to the dedicated media keys on the top of the phone- I find myself using those quite often. Lastly, if you like gaming-on-the-go, the Storm would be the one for you. The touchscreen features make it a little bit like the iPhone, which has tons of gaming apps.

Wanna knw also will touch 9800 ever use d os 7 or d 6.1 os?

A lot of it boils down to if you use your phone for playing games, texting, or for business.

If you like playing games more, then generally the lager touchscreens like a Torch would be a great device. If you want more simplicity, then a Bold 9780 is a great device. I recommend that you go to a store that sells the devices and get a hands-on with them so you can know the feel that you like.

Let us know what you decide to pick!

Hello tboicares,

OS 6.1 is OS 7. RIM changed the name from 6.1 to 7 during BlackBerry World 2011 last month.

As to answer your question, no, the 9800 will not get the update to OS 7. The reason has to do with hardware requirements in the new OS 7.

Let me practice in the store. Choose that I like.
