If any one thing stuck out as BlackBerry-specific news this week, it was OS6 finally leaking for the 9700. After running 6.0.0.344 on my 9700 for about 5 days now, I see there are some bugs that need to be squashed, but in my opinion it runs a lot better than expected. This is going to put a damper on the 9780′s sales, but at least there won’t be any upset 9700 users stuck in contract with OS5 as their only option. And hey, if you live in Canada and would like a free BlackBerry Torch, there are some contests going on so check the links below to see what you may have missed this week in BlackBerry>>
