We hear via Boy Genius Report’s traditionally well placed sources that BlackBerry OS 4.6.0 is out of internal development and is now in the carrier certification process.

That could be could news. Or it might not matter.

Those in the know, and tend to go through life seeing the glass half-full hope that this OS build could address battery battery.jpg  suck issues that seem to plague most if not every mobile device capable of running Wi-Fi or GPS.

“The good news is that the introduction of the carrier certification process,” Jibi writes, “may indicate the remote possibility that a workaround and/or resolution has been implemented for the new does-it-all device.”

I wonder that since these battery drain issues seem to have a lot to do with extra power for signal acquisition and retention, whether or not these problems are more related to network issues.
