12 July, 2010

BlackBerry latest touch mobile OS version 6.0 was made official a couple of months back and while we haven’t seen a real product out on the market running it, here comes a second demo video of the new UI.

The new BlackBerry 6 OS should be out some time in Q3 this year and some older devices will be capable of upgrade. Still there is no info on the supported devices. Come on, RIM, spill the beans already.
