New features of BlackBerry 6 include:

* Crisp, more immersive visuals, including new graphics, animations and transitions

* New WebKit browser; it’s high-fidelity and very efficient, for fast, rich browsing with support for multiple sessions (i.e. tabbed browsing)

* Multi-touch support (e.g. pinch to zoom) while browsing, viewing photos, etc.

* Graphical, context-sensitive menu pop-ups

* Redesigned core apps, plus a new media player UI

* New Home Screen experience; multiple views based on content type (All, Favorites, Downloads, Media, etc.), universal search

* New app for integrating RSS and social networking feeds

Revamped Home Screen


The professional black theme introduced with BlackBerry OS 5 remains, but the home screen now includes a swipe-up app menu on the bottom – similar to Android’s pull-down blind – that features multiple pages of apps organized by type (all, favorites, etc.).

Multitouch

Yes, it’s here. At long last, BlackBerry OS will step up to par with the likes of the iPhone, Palm WebOS, and Google Android with support for two fingers on screen at the same time. That means pinching to zoom in the browser, on photo galleries, and maps.

Kinetic Scrolling

Things don’t come screeching to a halt the second you stop moving them in real life, and now they won’t on your phone, either. BlackBerry OS 6 will add preprogrammed “momentum” to scrolling to make pages keep gliding to a gradual stop after a swipe, the same way they do on the iPhone.

New WebKit Browser

The number one most decrepit piece of the BlackBerry OS will get a complete overhaul with a new browser based on WebKit – the same rendering engine driving browsers on the iPhone OS, Android, and WebOS. It will also support the long-awaited tabs for flicking between multiple pages. All the changes should give BlackBerry devices a much better handle on plain old HTML pages – especially in conjunction with multitouch.

Universal Search

Looking for something? Whether it’s a contact or a song buried in your music library, the universal search, accessible from the home page via a magnifying glass icon, will dredge it up.

Media Player

Graphics move front and center in BlackBerry’s new media player
, which now features album art alongside titles in every list, plus an Cover-Flow-style arrangement of albums on the “now playing” page.

Upgrade to Blackberry OS 6.0 :

OS upgrades come with performance enhancements and sometimes new features that will make your BlackBerry experience much smoother. While we can’t recommend grabbing unofficial software, as it could bork your device, it’s worth becoming familiar with the process and trying it out for yourself. It’s a fun process that makes getting to know your BlackBerry more fun.

Before you upgrade, make sure you have the latest software. To do this, go to Options > About and the details of your device will be displayed. Take note of the device model number and the software version. Later in this tutorial, we’ll show you how to go about finding the latest OS, and comparing it to see if you’re eligible for an upgrade. But first, lets get what you need to start the process.

BlackBerry 6.0 upgrade Tools you need :
Desktop Manager for PC – Without Media Manager
Desktop Manager for PC – With Media Manager
BlackBerry Desktop Software (Mac OS)
Make sure to delete the vendor.xml file so that your software is carrier agnostic and you aren’t tied to any specific official updates. We can assume that if it’s good enough for one carrier, it’s good enough for all. You can find the vendor.xml file in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader.
