The upcoming Blackberry 6 OS is bringing a new expectation on the Blackberry media capabilities. In the previous version of Blackberry OS, it seems that the media capabilities is not RIM’s main concern. There has been several media capabilities improvements found on the OS 4.5 to OS 5.0 upgrade, but there’s no eye-opening upgrade.
However, it seems that RIM has tried to make the media capabilities in the Blackberry 6 OS better. But how is it compared to the previous Blackberry OS 5.0? Is it much better? does it have that “eye opening” factor? Well, let’s take a look on the video posted by none other than Solomondrin below:

The common way to update your device may be by downloading OS to PC then using Application Loader. But now there are several official OS updates so you get the option to select Wireless Update for updating. This option can be found in Options > Advanced Options > Wireless Update.
Once the latest update is available, an icon of Wireless Update will be shown in your device’s homescreen, alerts you to upgrade. When this happens, you can download the update then install it OTA (Over the Air) to your phone. But dont be shock if the process can be time consuming, but simple.
