BlackBerry Desktop Manager 6.0 Pics Show Up Online

By Bla1ze on 25 Mar 2010 10:11 pm

Ok, so maybe it's not pics. Rather, just a screenshot of things to come for BlackBerry Desktop Manager. Earlier today we mentioned that latest that Research In Motion was pushing now is version 5.0.1.37 but, shortly after that the folks over at BBnews.pl revealed the above snapshot of version 6.0.I'm liking the UI changes here. Also digging the fact it looks like RIM has placed a little more concentration on media handling.

Interesting note, see how it says podcasts on the side bar? For the longest time now the BlackBerry OS has had a default folder named "Podcasts" built into it. I always wondered what it was for considering you essentially have no way to download podcasts on your BlackBerry without a third party app like PodTrapper or using Opera Mini to bypass the download limit. Maybe a new OS combined with Desktop Manager 6.0 will change that. Pipe dreams?

Looks awesome ! And Bla1ze we will have to wait to see, what will happen with the podcast, I personally think, that it means, that we will be able to download podcast through our native Browser, that would be cool....

Bla1ze Mar 25, 2010 at 10:20 pm

That's what I'm hoping for.

aris20 Mar 25, 2010 at 10:28 pm

Offtopic, hey Bla1ze did u managed to join the new BBM beta test @ BeBeta Zone ? And I saw they opened a beta test for 8520 and 8530 are u joining that 1 ?

Bla1ze Mar 25, 2010 at 10:31 pm

Yeah, I signed up for all the available beta tests they offered through Beta Zone. Quite interesting to see RIM taking such an initiative. Just hope they really make use of the informationa nd feedback users will be providing.

aris20 Mar 25, 2010 at 10:35 pm

Uhm I think they will use our feedbacks, because they tell u like a tons of times to please leave feedback, and if they didn't, the whole site would be pointless, hey Bla1ze is there any chance u could give me ur BB pin ? Or u can add me mine is 21BDC7C9 Just to discuss some things about Beta Zone, since there's no place for that in here !

muneton17 Mar 25, 2010 at 10:42 pm

Whaaa? I've always been able to download their podcasts via native browser.

aris20 Mar 25, 2010 at 10:51 pm

Really ? Who's podcast, beacause I tried downloading CB podcast trhu native browser and I never been able to !, isn't it cuz the size limit

muneton17 Mar 25, 2010 at 10:57 pm

I can't remember which exact ones they were but I remember one where one cursed. Haha.

jfs101 Mar 27, 2010 at 12:39 am

I downloaded CB's podcast #46 thru the native browser. Just clicked the download direct link and it worked.

When I tried to download #48 it didn't work.

serpico Mar 25, 2010 at 11:19 pm

We asked for a mac version for windows, here you go.

justin.lafleur Mar 26, 2010 at 4:18 am

Indeed, it looks like a mac version!

polishdroiduser Mar 25, 2010 at 10:15 pm

GO POLAND haha but I hope it doesnt turn into DM for mac you cant install leaks :/

qrescue Mar 25, 2010 at 10:16 pm

I like it alot!!

freddymartinez9 Mar 25, 2010 at 10:17 pm

- Bla1ze, learn to spell!!!
- LOOKS PHOTOSHOPPED

with that out of the way, let me just say, I think it looks a lot better than it does now. I can't wait.

Bla1ze Mar 25, 2010 at 10:24 pm

One letter missing from one word, an additional letter added to another. I'm doing better today then most, lol. Get off my back :P

green_ember Mar 26, 2010 at 9:49 am

That would be "better today THAN most." Just kidding, I don't care. Keep up the info accuracy, screw the grammar! Thanks for the article :-)

robarias Mar 25, 2010 at 10:17 pm

Looks similar to the Mac version

JazzL5 Mar 25, 2010 at 10:23 pm

I want DM 6.0 now!! If that's what the main screen will look like, cool. Hope it adds new features as well.

ashantiblack Mar 25, 2010 at 10:22 pm

NICEEEEE ☺

xeju Mar 25, 2010 at 10:23 pm

The UI looks good. I'm wondering what the fingerprint looking thing is at the top next to the word 'BlackBerry'. Or is it just there to obscure something?

Bla1ze Mar 25, 2010 at 10:27 pm

Hiding the device owners PIN likely.

xeju Mar 25, 2010 at 11:19 pm

The PIN is there a little lower near the phone number. It could be the barcode, but the 2d barcodes are squares and the fingerprint is a rectangle. But whatever, we'll know when we see the real thing.

andredesignz Mar 25, 2010 at 10:26 pm

Love the new look

Dannyd534 Mar 25, 2010 at 10:26 pm

looks exactly like the mac BB Desktop Manager....nothing special

CheekySheDevil Mar 25, 2010 at 10:28 pm

I hope this is something that is REALLY in the works. I'd hate to be faked out by Poland...

SlipperyNutt Mar 25, 2010 at 10:31 pm

I think the fingerprint thing you are talking about might be where your barcode is being placed. Just my opinion.

jorGeorge Mar 25, 2010 at 10:31 pm

Ehh, a little too simplistic for me. Where are all the advanced goodies?

MOESTEPP Mar 25, 2010 at 10:35 pm

Looks alot I mean alot like my Blackberry Desktop for MAC?

kram941 Mar 25, 2010 at 10:38 pm

heh. Reminds me of Mac's OS kinda. Definitely more towards their style/look.

dgbb8900 Mar 25, 2010 at 10:59 pm

I hope BBDM 6.0 works with Win 7 64-bit also like to add capture screen.

camel_456 Mar 25, 2010 at 11:17 pm

I'm not having any problems with the current version of DM on Win 7 64Bit...

rorosz Mar 25, 2010 at 11:10 pm

Looks good though. Hopefully it will have more functonality

zarzamora_hermosa Mar 25, 2010 at 11:14 pm

So it looks like iTunes... that's what's to come... fine by me I suppose :)

frcollier Mar 25, 2010 at 11:20 pm

It'll be nice to see something fresh. I also noticed that there seems to be a way to check file free on an SD card. Dont know if there is on the current version, only use it to sync with Outlook.

xeju Mar 25, 2010 at 11:22 pm

Where's the BBM interface?

That's what I'd like to see integrated into DM - a PC interface to BBM. I think RIM would (should) only have a pc client for BBM if the device is connected, so the DM would be a great place for it.

(I know, that's probably a pipe dream.)

caltrmptguy86 Mar 25, 2010 at 11:29 pm

I'm liking this new look. It's about time they offer some better looking interfaces. I do agree with the above post too. A stand alone PC app for BBM. :D

clexman Mar 25, 2010 at 11:32 pm

Hopefully when you click backup, it actually backs up everything. Having to use a round about way to backup your apps is a pain.

CeluGeek Mar 25, 2010 at 11:48 pm

... over a DM version that stops nagging me with bogus software updates just because I delete that worthless John Meyer video and uninstalled the built-in Docs to Go app to install the full version.

When DM can finally propose software updates that are really software updates, not just reinstalls of what I have intentionally uninstalled, then we are talking.

tcseacliff Mar 25, 2010 at 11:54 pm

At this stage in time, I don't think there is another direction for the DM but up. jeez Louise! the DM is like plugging your BB into a Fred Flintstone app. sounds like they are finally on the right track to properly handle the BB business coming their way. time will tell.

JerseyDriver Mar 25, 2010 at 11:57 pm

So there have been countless updates to the PC version, we going to see one anytime soon?

fedge Mar 26, 2010 at 12:14 am

looks beautiful i'd love to check that out. i signed up for RIM's beta program.. maybe i'll get a crack at that in there!

robotaholic Mar 26, 2010 at 1:10 am

I want that wallpaper of the kayak on the waterfall - looks coo

cribble2k Mar 26, 2010 at 1:31 am

I just hope RIM does not implement media management in the same way Apple does with iTunes and the iPhone. That was one of the deal breakers for me not going with iPhone, because I hate iTunes. I just want to be able to drag and drop files on to the media card as we can now.
