Is official OS 6 for BB Cruve 3G is out? I checked for upgrade, but the software says the phone is upto date. Any links?

Using BSNL Prepaid 399 plan and roaming on MTNL, enjoying 3G except for downloads. The BSNL BB support is fantastic.

Guys, what is the best price for the 9780? Its available on flipkart for Rs.26200/-. It says it comes with 1.5 year India Warranty. Is it available anywhere else for a lower price? I would need it with warranty.

deathwalkr · 9th January 2011, 21:22

that is a good price for a Redington imported stock.

I upgraded the software of my BB curve to OS6 from the US BB site. Download the software upgrader from the BB, USA site and try to search.

The OS6 is working great on curve, no hiccups.

@deathwalkr: is there any difference Redington imported stock? Will it affect the warranty given from Blackberry?

I was using Blackberry since one year and I was wondering that it will work as a GPS device or not. But now I have found a free application "Waze" which is providing a good navigation facilities.

The formats of Nokia and BB are way apart, so technically its not at all possible.

Guys I need help, For one of my configured emails, I am getting old mails pulled out & shown as new & they are completely random like today morning it pulled mails from late October, 2 days it was from early October.

This is happening only for one of the mails (rediffmail id), not sure if this could be the reason but a few days ago I had selected 'Reconcile Now' option.
