BlackBerry OS 6 boots up fast

I just got hold of these two devices. A BlackBerry Bold 9700 running OS 5 and a BlackBerry Torch running OS 6. Apparently both devices do not have a difference in processing power but the operating system boot up time looks drastically improved for OS version 6.

One of the thing that has always been irritating me has been the time a BlackBerry takes to boot. Any other phone does not take that long but things are eventually changing and the new OS has done some work to improve the boot up speed.

Checkout the video.

I’ve been dieing to get my hands on to OS 6 on my Bold 9700 and here’s a video by boygenius that shows OS 6 running on a BlackBerry Bold 9700. The OS is much more snappier and quicker on 9700 than on a torch according to this video. The video shows how the new BB browser works and how the new camera interface is different from the OS 5.x.

BlackBerry announces the launch of BlackBerry Torch 9800

The day has come. BlackBerry today has announced the official launch of BlackBerry Torch 9800. This is an exciting moment that a RIM’s BlackBerry device finally comes with the modern touchscreen as well as the conventional and popular BlackBerry keyboard together in a compact slide device. And to add to the excitement, the phone has the new BlackBerry 6 OS which has been leaked and rumored about for quite some time now.

From the looks of it, it’s a BlackBerry Storm on the top and a BlackBerry Bold 9700 at the bottom. It will be available on AT&T to start with and other networks to follow.  You can find the device specs here.

BTW, it’s rumored to have a 1.2 GHz processor (not confirmed yet).
