BlackBerry Colt to carry BBX OS
BlackBerry Colt

Mobile gamers have been already able to preview the new BBX platform in the BlackBerry Playbook, yet no smartphone powered by the new OS has yet been announced.

They might have the nimble fingers and the reaction of a neuro surgeon when playing the latest BlackBerry blackjack apps, but otherwise the latest crop of Blackberry gamers are pretty clueless. The expected release of the Blackberry Colt caused a surge in application for pistol permits which analysts suspect was caused by an inaccurate rumor that the new Blackberry smartphone device will come built into a Colt revolver.

Fans of mobile casinos were excited by the batch of rumors that RIM plans to introduce the BBX OS in the upcoming BlackBerry Colt. The company is not enjoying the best of times sales-wise and the recent troubles with messaging service didn’t help that situation one bit.

BlackBerry mobile gambling may change dramatically with the introduction of the new BBX OS in a smartphone. The rumored Colt device looks pretty similar to the current Torch 9860, however be advised that it may be just a mock-up design, as no official confirmation has yet been provided.

Eager regulars of BlackBerry casinos argue that the new phone will be thinner that the Bold 9900 and will come in the same stainless steel body. The BlackBerry Colt is rumored to be powered by a dual-core CPU and have a 4.something inch screen with 900+ pixels of vertical resolution.

Mobile casino games enthusiasts will probably be able to enjoy both front and back snappers in the BlackBerry Colt as well as a battery similar to the one in the BlackBerry Playbook and some elements of the TAT UI.

Sources close to RIM put the official announcement date at early 2012, but it’s way too early to be sure of anything. In any case we remain hopeful that RIM hurries with introduction of the BBX OS and subsequently a smartphone based on the new OS.
