The brilliant BlackBerry® 6 platform is making its first appearance on the brand new BlackBerry® 9800 Torch™ smartphone, with better multitasking, web browsing and a simpler interface just a few of the highlights. This new, improved BlackBerry® smartphone platform is designed to make everything more fluid and fun. Here's a closer look at what the BlackBerry 6 OS has to offer:
Smart, simple interface
The new BlackBerry 6 OS is simple and intuitive, with a home screen that's fluid and user-friendly. Swipe to access your apps, tap to open them. Pinch to zoom in on details in photos or web pages. Everything's easier and simpler.
Social network feeds
The new social network feed brings all of your Facebook®, Twitter® and LinkedIn® updates together on one screen. You can update all of your profiles with a single post, and once you've logged in for the first time there's no need to do it again.
True multitasking
Want to move from your email inbox to your Facebook profile or photo album? Simply tap the new application switcher to select one of your open apps, while the rest of your apps continue to run in the background.
Universal search
Looking for a particular song or photo? Let the new universal search function do the hard work for you - it'll search through the content on your phone and then look online, all in a matter of seconds.
Better web browsing
Open multiple web pages on your smartphone and tab between them using the new thumbnail view, and then simply click on one of the thumbnails to switch to that page. You can add your favourite websites to your home page or save them as bookmarks, and simply tap to visit them again later.
Double tap on specific text within a web page to zoom in on it, without having to scroll to the right or left. The new RSS feed manager downloads updates from your favourite websites straight to your smartphone, so you always know when new content is ready to discover.
More multimedia magic
The powerful new BlackBerry® Media Player displays all your album art in a colourful carousel of images, and makes it easy to switch between songs, organise albums and shuffle, pause or repeat tracks.
With tons of new features and enhancements, as well as all of your favourite BlackBerry services, including BlackBerry® Messenger and push technology, the new BlackBerry 6 OS lets your smartphone do more, so that you can too.
