Blackberry 6 was first covered by 3G.co.uk in April this year here - BlackBerry OS 6.0 Details And ScreenShots Leaked. Blackberry have now officially announced its Blackberry 6 Operating System with a launch scheduled sometime after July this year.

Blackberry 6 will function with both touchscreen and non-touchscreen mobile devices and will use the WebKit browser. A demo of Blackberry 6 can be seen above.

New additions are believed to be :

- The media player  features the album covers to browse between track.

- New touch-screen gestures have been added to improve navigation including kinetic scrolling and rubber banding, which reverse the scrolling when you hit the bottom of a page.

- Customise the home-screen with BlackBerry OS 6.0

- Features a new photo browser with thumbnails.

- Tabbed-browsing which enables you to have multiple web pages open inside the same browser.

Once 3G hear more we will be sure to post it for you.
