BlackBerry World conference is fast approaching, and CrackBerry is the first to spark the rumour. This time, it’s about RIM’s mobile OS. It ain’t getting the QNX treatment just yet, but insiders are saying that RIM will be launching its OS 6.1 very soon, but will instead rebrand that particular update completely as BlackBerry 7, making us wonder if this update is that majestic.

However, the site also speculates that current phones running BB6 may not get any BB7 action right off the bat — which could make sense, given that new features like NFC are only present in upcoming devices. All these are of course very early stage rumours so things may change along the timeline.
