Could that mean it&#8217;s in the offing? I think so, but there are signs to the contrary. For instance, RIM had the video removed sometime before this morning. They did that with the Storm 2 over the summer, and then released it in November. I don&#8217;t think this is the case for the Pearl 2, however. Too much evidence points to an imminent release.<\/p>\n<p>The other main story on the ledger: OS 5.0. I talk about RIM releasing the OS build to the carriers, but the carriers not releasing it to users. Is that the carriers&#8217; faults? Perhaps, but it&#8217;s also RIM&#8217;s job to deliver a working version of the OS. If they didn&#8217;t completely hold up the end of the bargain on that end, the blame should fall on RIM. <\/p>\n<p>This post originated at BBGeeks.com &#8211; home to all things <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bbgeeks.com\">Blackberry<\/a>!
