Will your BlackBerry Support The New 6.0 OS? Here’s The Suspected List Of Devices.
So you just got your shiny new BlackBerry a few months ago, and now you’re reading that there is a new BlackBerry Operating System upgrade coming with all kinds of sexy new features. Here is a rumored preliminary list of BlackBerry devices that should support the new OS.
- The following devices will get OS 6 at launch: The Clamshell 9670, Bold Slider 9800, Atlas 8980, and Kepler 9300
- The following devices will get OS 6 as an update from OS 5: The Bold 9650, Pearl 9100 and 9105, Bold 9700, and the Storm 9520 and 9550
Now many of you have already seen the new BlackBerry OS 6 promo video, and have also read our sneak peek overview of what you can expect to see in the new OS. Our pals over at BBleaks posted this list of additional features that leans more towards the technical side. While this is not a full features list, here are a few extra enhancements you can look forward to in OS 6.0:
- Graphical context menu in tables list and tabs. The long context menu has ended
- Unified search framework included in 3rd party app data
- Multiple contact list support
- Message list enhancements (displaying pushed 3rd party app data)
- Wifi LBS supports, reverse geo coding (geo to zip) travel time service within Canada and USA
- OS6 SDK in first half of 2010
- Toolbox: trackpad support for swipe gestures. This should bring flick scrolling to trackpad devices. Will be system wide, even including apps. ( You won’t need a touch screen to down some of the really cool stuff.)
- Barcode 1D/2D scanning support
- Auto-Focus enhancements. Camera lens and Auto-Focus are now separate.
With BlackBerry OS 6 just only a few months away, more and more details will begin to surface the closer we get to it’s release.
