The date is Thursday, July 30. That was 2009. In 2010, July 30 is a Friday. Something's not right here. I call fake...

EDIT: The other pics are from mid-January, however. As you said, Bla1ze...it's too crowded. This is not a device running this necessarily, the screens are low-res, why would a business device feature such an obnoxiously big clock? Nothing in these add up, except for lies. That's just my opinion, however.

'cause the first picture IS NOT FROM OS 6.0 ;)

Wayy too crowded I agree with you on that one Bla1ze

Honestly, I'm all for a new look

Might be too crowded, but this is a welcoming sight. You know we all want to see something new out of RIM and their OS.

Devildrifterx on the forums made a good point. Where's the battery bar, signal meter, volume control, date, all the other essential features on the home screen? Could these photos be cropped? barban7 pointed out that it may be cropped, which is definitely a possibility. The height comes a little short of the 360x480 resolution on a standard storm. I know it may be on a Storm3, but I'd assume the ratio would be the same, if not taller (widescreen).

Can not really say that I'm feeling it...

way too much going on there

Will all models get 6.0 when it rolls out? I have a 9700 and just left my Storm.

I think it looks intresting. Maybe to crowded but in the right direction

It would be nice to see something new, but I'm not sure if this is what it should be.

Doesn't look functional or attractive by any means.

The first one looks kool, but definitely missing essentials.

Maybe it's a coincidence, or maybe it's a subtle hint...

But 11-44 is police radio code for coroner's case.

These pictures have me pretty excited about Windows Phone 7 Series!

It's like a windows mobile device with a blackberry theme or something

I agree with you on that one Bla1ze...

These images do not do justice, the display area is not of the standard screen size, nor is it of the storm. Crowed, agreed, but it seems though we are looking at the clock app. if that's the case, I guess it would a bit ok? However if this how the home screen is displayed, I would say it is overly crowed, along with it being completely inefficient!

They are going to do what everyone has been bitching for and then when it comes they will complain its not as efficient and should have left it alone.

I wish SOMETHING would happen with the OS. I look at all my friends phones, Droids, HTC's, etc.. and i see just how stale my storm is. Im counting down the days until i can ditch this thing and get something android. probably the Droid.

Hmm...looks like it's intended for a screen that's a bit more rectangular than square...

I don't think.that it is crowded at all. Its a lot like my Hero. I appreciate a lot of information at a glance. On a touchscree device, this layout would be perfect for me. Way to go RIM! I may be coming back!

OMG.......
WinMo theme on Storm.....
If this is future OS for BB....
I am out....
I don't want another Android, iPhone, HTC blah blah blah....
BB OS is very simple and descent, this is one of cool stuff in BBOS
I will never update my OS, if v6 looks like same other ones....

lol,
what happened to RIM.
I use our BB with my both hands.
HTC, iPhone and android UI and navigation is for single handed usage.

The shape of the screen looks similar to that fugly slider floating around.

I know its a "rough copy" but....
#1 - WHY IS THE CLOCK ENORMOUS?!
A - i dont need alarm options on my home page
#2 - everything just looks messed up, like a Picaso cubism, the random bar with the messages/calendar notifications, then there's just random crap aka widgets all over the place, i love the idea of widgets, but this seems like a half-@$$ed attempt to "modernize" the BB.

*not to mention, what would this look like on a Non-storm type screen? everything would be REALLY small and hard to read.

Honestly i like the layout of the BB OS the way it is, its what makes a BB a BB and not an HTC or an iPhone. Yes, there needs to be some improvements made on the current OS to make it a better device, but don't try and look like everyone else, that's called being a "copy cat", and last time i checked, that wasn't very cool. IMO, RIM should keep the current lay-out of their OS, for the most part, and just improve it, not scrap it and do the popular "widget" thing.

if i really want cool OS.

seems a bit widget happy...crowded but like the big clock....reminds me of the HTC....keep what you have rim just improve performance and speed

Should be easy to change in themes, plus if similar to nokia, android and sense overlays should have multiple screens that are user defined. Want more widgets add them, can't see the tiny clock make it bigger like your social networking stuff on page there it is.

30 themes based on the OS will be available in the next hour. Some with droid or IPhone icons and weather slot.

if you dress up a pile of poop in a tuxedo, its still a pile of poop.

there are many more issues rim needs to work on, rather than this unicorn of OS 6.0. roll out the browser, os 5 upgrades across all devices and carriers, bringing down inflated app world pricing, and the list goes on.

come on rim, listen to your users!

then blackberries as we know it may be extinct. To have an "os" like this it will only be good on a touch screen. It would be to cluttered for a touch pad or even the ball.(hence the new slider bb) Maybe RIM is looking to do something ala android. Have a few homescreens to switch between instead of having one screen with a few icons. If that is the case then that may not be as bad since we could put whatever we wanted on it and it may not look as cluttered.

Its exciting to see rim doing something new. I say they are listening and trying to give the customers what they want. Yes it's not going to perfect at this stage. This isn't a final release and I'm sure MUCH MORE will happen to this OS before it's finally rolled out. Keep up the good work RIM.

oh cool looks like stuff that has been on other OSes for years now. great job RIM

Look at how different OS 5 can look from phone to phone, based on themes...who cares about a homescreen screenshot? Show me what it DOES

Fake :D Even Rims smarter than that :D

When will Verizon release 5.0 for Tour ? We are so far behind it's not even fair. : (

Looks very........drab,.......and boring.

Way too crowded. Reminds me of older windows mobile OS. This is expected from RIM at this point. They are not making any moves towards making technically advanced changes whether for devices or software. They will continue to be overshadowed by google and apple, and maybe palm too if they continue the way or the pre and pixi.

It seems too trendy for RIM to do an OS like this and we all love BBs they way they are. Just add a few features to the current OS and make it snappier. Let's hope this isn't it, but if it is let's pray its VERY customizable.

So much for cool wallpapers eh?

I don't care for the selection they have there, but I'd like to have my most recent new messages, a day or two of upcoming calendar items, current weather, and I wouldn't mind the Pens or Kings score being thrown in there as well. Overall, I think it would be a welcomed addition or even replacement for the current today screen style.

What I think RIM need to do is sit down once and for all and create an OS that is "Game Changing". What I mean by this is an OS that give us access to all the new and great applications, fast web browser....okay, like the iphone and android. But still keeping true to its core!!!

Just my opinion.
