BlackBerry OS 7 Released with New Bold 9900 Series. No Upgrades for Older Devices

The vast majority of cell phone users do not think about or worry about the ability to upgrade their phone to the latest and greatest version of the platform. A significant percentage of smartphone users, however, probably are aware of when a new and better version of their mobile platform becomes available and have some expectations about upgrading their current phone to the new platform version. So, it was somewhat of a surprise when Windows Mobile smartphone users discovered they would not be able to upgrade their phone to Windows Phone 7.
