I knew that Blackberry 6 OS was launched comes with the BlackBerry Torch 9800 as the first handset that use this OS. Must be overhaul what are the features that comes with this new BlackBerry 6 OS.

This 6 OS interface even though has a spruced-up interface, blackberry users will feel at home. Icons and text appear sharper and smoother than in previous versions, but the overall look is still the old blackberry.
Remind of pre-2.0 android, blackberry 6 OS has a vertically sliding apps drawer that can show all of your apps or none of them; or you can notch it to view one or two rows at a time. If you like, you also can slide horizontally and view apps filtered by categories such as favorites, Media, Downloads, and frequent.

The most use able feature at last, now the blackberry 6 OS has universal search. It can searches contacts, apps, music just about everywhere. You can tweak it to search specific parts of the phone. Most competing platforms offer universal search, but blackberry’s version is the most powerful and comprehensive.

The drawback with this new BlackBerry 6 OS is that you wont see comprehensive web browser in it. The new WebKit-based browser isn’t perfect, but for sure it ahead of the older one. You get pinch-to-zoom multitouch support, tabbed browsing, and auto-wrap text zoom (when you zoom in to a block of text, the font wraps in a column so that none of it cuts of). Pinch-to-zoom wasn’t entirely smooth, but it worked just fine. Autowrap text functioned well, too. Regrettably, on the Torch 9800 the browser was sluggish, especially in dealing with media-heavy sites.

Now how about make a blackberry as an entertainment device. With previous OS version, I know that you can’t count on it. But this upgrades to 6 OS definitely give you better entertainment experience now. The music player gains a Cover flow like interface that nicely showcases album art. You’ll also find a brand-new YouTube app with a fairly straightforward interface, as well as a blackberry Podcast app.

The strong point of BlackBerry OS since the start is the email and messaging. Email in BlackBerry OS is where rIM shines, and 6 OS adds features that build the company’s status as the master of messaging. You can of course sync with your company’s blackberry enterprise Server with support for exchange, lotus Domino, or Groupwise for real-time e-mail delivery. With blackberry Internet Service, you can access up to ten personal/business PoP3 or IMaP4 e-mail accounts. here’s where things get confusing. You have a universal Messages inbox, which contains your SMS items, e-mail messages, and blackberry Messenger, and then you have your dedicated e-mail (in my case, Gmail) inbox. In the dedicated Gmail inbox, you get archiving, threaded conversations, labeling, and starring—an arrangement that’s just about as close to the Gmail desktop setup as possible. In the catch-all inbox, however, you don’t have access to any of these features.

I don’t know if you are an email / messaging guys or entertainment guys. If you still as email guys / messaging guys, then this BlackBerry 6 OS will still accommodate your need. With a bit improvement in the entertainment aspect.
