Many users all over the world using BlackBerry 9700 aka Bold 2 or BlackBerry 9300 , are still waiting for their respective operators to launch OS6 . Some operators around the world has already done so and their files are available online to install on your own BlackBerry .

Vodafone Germany is one of the carriers which has already launched the OS6 upgrade for their users and have ‘conveniently’  put it online for others to access it . The upgrade process is fairly simple .
