BlackBerry Application Suite Pro leaked!
Why would you want to pick up a copy of and install BlackBerry Application Suite on your Windows Mobile device? Well, if you wanted to give RIM’s BlackBerry OS a try without jumping fully on board, this would be a way to do so. It’s been quite awhile since the Application Suite was shown off on camera — many months to be exact. At that time, RIM themselves mentioned that both BES and BIS versions were coming. See as how this leak is an unofficial release, the lack of a “complete” package isn’t too surprising.
If you’re feeling lucky, head on over to xda-forums to score yourself a copy of the Application Suite.
As you wait to for page to load, there’s a few things you should know. Namely, this leaked version is the BES version meaning you’ll have to have access to a BES server or else it won’t work. Period. Second, the OS that you’re emulating is of the 4.5 era (according to BerryReivew) — hardly new or exciting anymore. While I don’t necessarily discredit BerryReview’s claims, if the image displayed on the image above — which was pulled from BerryReview — is the ApplicationSuite, it looks more like 4.6+ to me as no 4.5 devices had the newer BB Precision theme. It could be a special skin for 4.5 and the Application Suite though. In the end, BlackBerries are BerryReview’s thing. So more likely than not I’m in the wrong. Anyone care to chime in and set me straight?
So far a few WinMo users have chimed in saying they got the App Suite up and running on a Windows Mobile 6.5.x ROM and all was well except not having access to a BES server. Even for users not on 6.5, you should be pretty well off regardless. Let us know how it goes.
