Quite a few of the readers that I know about are Blackberry users. I myself use a blackberry. And being technologically minded I have an interest in knowing about OS leaks when they are released. However there are alot of people out there that feel the Blackberry is a lot of phone. So much so, that taking a new Operating System and actually installing it is a tall order. And the readership on this blog is not the high-end techy nerds that some sites have. And we don't aim our posts at that demographic.
We aim our context at the mid-level techy. The guys and gals that know how to use the devices they own and may at time dabble in something a bit deeper. But are by no means the type that will be attending any DEF CON conventions anytime soon. So that brings me to my main point. Leaks of the various Blackberry device Operating Systems are out there. They hit the "scene" at a rate of about 1-2 a week, depending on the device. Now I will occasionally install a leaked OS or a Hybrid leak on my Blackberry. But it really depends on how much time I have on hand and how good the reports of the particular leak are. There is nothing more annoying than installing a leak, re-organizing everything on my phone, just to find out that the OS sucks and that I have to downgrade back to the original OS I was running in the first place. So I take previous users comments seriously on the subject.
I wanted to have a section on this blog where I would announce certain leaks or hybrids that were released. But that's when I had the thoughts detailed above. Is it worth it? Will the majority of the readers of this blog benefit from these being put on the site? Will anyone care? I don't know if anyone will. So what I am going to do is have a section that details the current OS that is out there for select Blackberry devices. Probably the most popular ones. With maybe a few leaks sprinkled in there. Only the ones that make sense based on what they offer or what they do for the device. We will give it a shot and see how it goes. I'm sure if it does not work out or no one is downloading any of the leaks then I can always remove the page. Let's just call it what it is, a trial. So as time goes on let me know how this turns out. I will check the download stats occasionally. But nothing helps more than comments from the readers. You guys are more valuable than you sometimes give yourselves credit for.
