picture 225 Well at least RIM is saying that through another of their notifications I just received. They have an entire page dedicated to this in the Sept/Oct Newsletter of the BlackBerry Connection IT Edition Newsletter… So does this mean the Big Rollout is finally going ahead? Lets hope so. They list a bunch of features we all by now know about, not to mention have experienced with the firmware versions that have made there way to the Web via various means. Saying that, they still state at the bottom of their Newsletter the following “Please check with your wireless carrier for their availability of BlackBerry Device Software v4.5 and visit the blackberry.com website for updates.”
