    Does anyone have any idea how long it will be before we a BlackBerry running this new interface? I am trying to hold out it because I don’t want to loose all of my BBM contacts but, current BlackBerries suck and I won’t buy another on until its more like the iPhone or Android as far as other apps and stuff.

      Hey Ja2bk,

      Douglas from RIM here. With TAT joining other companies like Torch Mobile and Viigo, we couldn’t be more excited about the growing BlackBerry family and the future of how users will interact with BlackBerry products. Stay tuned to our Inside BlackBerry blog for upcoming posts on TAT’s arrival and how it will all take shape.

      Cheers,

      Douglas
