Inside BlackBerry shows off BlackBerry 6 multimedia experiences

The push for BlackBerry 6 is still on a roll. Although, a few days behind what Salomondrin posted; Research In Motion has now posted their own walk through of the BlackBerry 6 Multimedia capabilities. While no videos were included in the walk through, it certainly outlines some of the finer aspects of things to come from BlackBerry 6.

A new improved camera UI, better picture handling and organization, improved YouTube integration which allows for streaming, sharing and uploading of videos. And one of my personal favorites, built in Podcast app so that you may enjoy the CrackBerry podcast on the go. Finally, better ways to handle and organize your music and videos. As I've mentioned before, media capabilities always felt like a back burner issue on BlackBerry and it's nice to see that Research In Motion has brought it forward with BlackBerry 6. More shots and info after the break.

Better organization of pictures.

Better YouTube integration and sharing options.

Inside BlackBerry has many more pics posted up, with further explanations of what you're seeing. Be sure to check it out if you're looking to learn more. Personally, the new picture taking options are a welcome feature to see.

Close call - almost pulled the trigger and bought podtrapper. Glad I'm waiting for this to be released.

Posted by Rodstar87 Tuesday, Jul 20, 2010 571 days ago

Come on RIM let me beta test this till the wheels fall off. I swear I won't post any screen shots or videos and I deff won't upload the files to mega upload so lyricidal could make a hybrid. He he he

Posted by JosephRuff Tuesday, Jul 20, 2010 571 days ago

Where are all the trolls to call this a "theme" again. I love crackberry but like Jay and Silent Bob, I'd love to find all these people who says its a theme and beat the **** out of them. I love my storm2 and it works beautifully and can't wait for os6 and the real storm3.

ps I use my phone for video, mp3, XMRadio and Slacker on a daily (6 to 8 hours) basis...so this post looks amazing and i can't wait for it to drop.

Posted by cbresciani Tuesday, Jul 20, 2010 571 days ago

coming from RIM soon, I can feel it!

Posted by mas3222 Tuesday, Jul 20, 2010 571 days ago

Definitely looks like something to look forward to

Posted by veii Tuesday, Jul 20, 2010 571 days ago

...Needs to hurry up and release this! I can't wait, looks really good so far. Can't wait for a leak.

if they dont hurry up that Droid X is looking prettier by the day

Posted by StormAddict718 Tuesday, Jul 20, 2010 571 days ago

I agree.. I tried out the Droid X today... really thinking about buying it.

Posted by Dragoneer Wednesday, Jul 21, 2010 571 days ago

I tried out the Droid X too and fell in love with it. So I decided to go ahead and made the switch. It will be at my door on the 29th. :)

Posted by PJW Tuesday, Jul 20, 2010 571 days ago

i got faith in RIM. They are taking their time and wont rush out a shitty/ defective product

Posted by drjay868 Wednesday, Jul 21, 2010 571 days ago

.... again.

Posted by jzachlee Tuesday, Jul 20, 2010 571 days ago

Which are the OS6 capable devices? Would my Tour be able to run OS6?? Please please please please tell me it would...

Posted by DevonB. Tuesday, Jul 20, 2010 571 days ago

That a little while after RIM releases the new OS, they will start releasing "lite" versions of the software for older phones that don't have enough memory to handle the entire software update.

Posted by chirmer Tuesday, Jul 20, 2010 571 days ago

my main question is: is the fade-in on the music player gone? because that's a deal-breaker. it completely RUINS the music. i listen to soundtracks and albums meant to run from front to back nonstop, and this makes it unbearable. i'll dump my bb early if this isn't fixed with os6...

also, will os6 actually let you do a factory reset? turns out it doesn't work in os5. my apps and themes won't go away.

RIM has a LOT it needs to finally bring to the table with os6.

Posted by sk8er_tor Tuesday, Jul 20, 2010 571 days ago

What device are you using? It doesn't do this on the 9700.

Posted by chirmer Tuesday, Jul 20, 2010 571 days ago

I have a Tour. It's really irritating, as I can't think of a single instance where people would want this...

Posted by mtbrogan Wednesday, Jul 21, 2010 571 days ago

Doesn't happen on my Tour. It's running 5.0.0.662 but I don't recall this problem on previous builds either. I wonder if there's a setting that can be changed for this?

Posted by chirmer Wednesday, Jul 21, 2010 571 days ago

That's so weird... and frustrating. I've dug thru the settings, trying to find it, as it seems it would be something that would be there, but I can't find it for the life of me. It also skips a bit towards the beginning of each song... arg. Time to talk to a Verizon rep!

Posted by NinjaB Wednesday, Jul 21, 2010 571 days ago

my music doesn't fade in and out either...

Posted by Jagga Wednesday, Jul 21, 2010 570 days ago

You NEED to specifically SELECT REMOVE 3rd party software, and also remove emails and if you like format MicroSD card.

This is located in Options> Security Options> Security Wipe
In OS 5 you need to actually read before just click happy on icons.

Posted by Emtronics Tuesday, Jul 20, 2010 571 days ago

Will this release of 6 (if it ever happens) be approved by Verizon? Will it apply to the 9530?

Posted by Midnight Barbecue Tuesday, Jul 20, 2010 571 days ago

The 9530 has barely enough memory for OS4 or 5. If it will run on the 9530 a lot of people will be eating their hats...

Posted by ChuckH0308 Tuesday, Jul 20, 2010 571 days ago

Definitely not. Even the current Storm 2 is up in the air and it has twice the memory of the S1. That's why they are coming out with an updated S2 with more memory. I think most of us suspect the current S2 will get it, but the OS alone will eat up almost all the memory.

Posted by Jude526 Tuesday, Jul 20, 2010 571 days ago

I am glad cause I plan to get the Bold 9650. I have played with the Android phones just cause I was curious, but I still love the style and ease of BB. I am a BB girl and will not cheat on my BB. Can't wait to have the 6.0 and webkit

Posted by vx1 Tuesday, Jul 20, 2010 571 days ago

Have no fear OS 6 is Almost Here.

its going to be great you will be happy

it was worth the wait.

the slider will make you drool, like
a like a BB loving fool

patience has its privileges and its rewards

there's lots more to come.

(it's been a while since last shout out)
Thanks Kevin for the Best BB site on the planet!

you rock!!

Posted by chriscoleman Tuesday, Jul 20, 2010 571 days ago

Hey RIM.... A day late and a dollar short, so to speak. While you're playing around with this new OS and lacking greatly in the quality control department, many dedicated BB users are leaving for other devices and operating systems.
I recently bought the X, and so far, it's been a terrific decision.
I doubt RIM reads these forums, but they need to know what their customers are thinking and doing....

Posted by MrBerry302 Tuesday, Jul 20, 2010 571 days ago

WHy are you still hanging around on a BB site??? Droids don't have a site? lmaooooooo

Posted by chirmer Tuesday, Jul 20, 2010 571 days ago

that's the best you can come up with? someone's insecure :p the dude's right. my tour downright SUCKS and i'm about to get myself the iphone. i'd rather have a phone that sucks at making calls than a phone that sucks at everything else.

Posted by Pathtek4 Wednesday, Jul 21, 2010 571 days ago

Take care brush your hair!!

My Tour is amazing, and has been a complete part of my life for almost a year! It makes me happy to hear you'll be moving on, especially to AT&T! Hope you enjoy your miserable phone service (been there, done that)

Posted by chirmer Wednesday, Jul 21, 2010 571 days ago

I'm glad your Tour works for you. I've had mine for almost a year (well, I've had Tours for almost a year, I'm currently on my third) and I just can't stand it anymore.

Where I go to school (Indianapolis) there's TERRIBLE Verizon service and great AT&T service. I drop more calls on a daily basis than my friends with AT&T ever drop. So yeah, I think I'll enjoy my GOOD cell service.

Posted by jwmax Wednesday, Jul 21, 2010 571 days ago

Get the iPhone you'll love it. How do I know? Becuase you are the kind of idiot that doesn't care that his phone doesn't work as a phone. Apple loves people like you who will defend their product even when you know it doesn't work.

Yes RIM is late to the game with this OS. Yes they have fallen behind the competition. We all know this, and so does everyone at RIM I imagine, but they are trying with OS 6 and it is looking good.

I don't think they will beat apple design wise for a while (if at all). That is what apple does (they don't produce good product they produce good design). Probably half the people at apple (not Steve Jobs!) Will admit RIM is a better phone/email device. This plus OS 6 will make me very happy to stay with RIM.

I think that is all people are really saying here, why try to poo on it?

Posted by chirmer Wednesday, Jul 21, 2010 571 days ago

"iphone loser" huh? At least i'm not the kind of person who has to call someone a name to feel superior.

The issue with the iPhone is by touching this liiiiiitle black strip on the side (I've done it in an AT&T store) and you know what? It's not that hard at all to just learn to not touch that. The free case makes it even easier. I RARELY make phone calls anyway (last month i used all of 7 minutes). I use texting/IMing, emails and apps and web, all of which I feel Apple is superior (I'd rather have it show me the freaking images than push to my phone when I can set it to check every five minutes anyway).

You've obviously not used many Apple products, as you seem to think they don't produce good ones. I used terrible products for 13 years, before I saw the light and got a Mac, and now I have a computer that works. The only product they produce that seems to have problems is the iPhone... their computers CONSISTENTLY are at the top of multiple tests done by companies and magazines. Their iPods have revolutionized the music industry, to the point where the corporate identity has soared so high most people call any mp3 player an iPod. Their music industry software is the best that exists, and what most professional recording musicians use. Garageband has revolutionized the indie music scene. Shall I go on?

Also: Jobs admitted the iPhone problem... where have you been? And what am I pooing on? Did you read the whole thread, or just what I said? I commented on a rude post against another guy (which was a LOT ruder before it was edited), to defend him. I think you're the one pooing here...

Posted by singhsantoshkr Tuesday, Jul 20, 2010 571 days ago

I think RIm should release it as early as possible and hope Blackberry will atleast target those berry lovers who don't want to carry two phones.

New APi for Games development in OS6 is important and $0.99 themes are equally important.

Let see what is there and most importantly when it will be released. Any delay will let its competitor to eat up RIM's market share.

Posted by r0cketman22 Tuesday, Jul 20, 2010 571 days ago

In RIM I trust.

Posted by luismicro Tuesday, Jul 20, 2010 571 days ago

I'm so excited I can't wait, the main thing for me would be the webkit browser running in my 9700, the rest is just a bonus, I really hope it comes within the next couple of months.

Posted by JETSfanALLday Tuesday, Jul 20, 2010 571 days ago

I TALKED TO A VERIZON REP THE OTHER DAY AND HE TOLD ME THAT THE STORM2 WILL NOT BE GETTING THE OS6 UPDATE....SO IM ABOUT TO GET THE DRIOD X,,CAUSE I JUST GOT MY STORM2 IN JANUARY.

Posted by Jazz_nh Tuesday, Jul 20, 2010 571 days ago

I put up my S2 on ebay today.... selling it for a Droid X.

Posted by D_March Tuesday, Jul 20, 2010 571 days ago

I would strongly advise against basing a decision on what a cell phone rep told me. I don't think many of them know as much as your average blog addict. But if it is more that you like the Droid X and prefer that then I think you should get it.

Posted by Jazz_nh Wednesday, Jul 21, 2010 571 days ago

agree 100% about not trusting what a VZW rep is stating. My decision to sell and go X is not based on that at all.

Posted by joski Tuesday, Jul 20, 2010 571 days ago

I don't think some twink from Verizon is going to provide 100% accurate information about this, so I wouldn't necessarily believe it.

Posted by 17.michal Tuesday, Jul 20, 2010 571 days ago

anyone remember the "difference of opinion" in the Verizon Math video on youtube???

at the same time though...some of the shots of the video showed that just the bare OS was using aroung 2xx MB ram on the 9800, so if they do have OS6, it will probably leave the phone with very little ram to operate with...

Posted by yASMiN37 Tuesday, Jul 20, 2010 571 days ago

will the Curve 8530 get the BOS6 ???

Posted by lccurtis1 Tuesday, Jul 20, 2010 571 days ago

Has anyone had the privilege of seeing Blackberry OS 6 on a non touch screen device like the Bold 9700 or 9650? I would love to see how the interface works with the smaller screens.
