Research in Motion has confirmed which older devices will get the new software bump. Blackberry Bold 9700, Bold 9650 and Pearl 3G have been confirmed to get an upgrade to Blackberry 6 in the coming months. Torch and all future Blackberry devices will obviously run the new OS.

Blackberry 6 is RIM’s answer to the new touch-friendly user interface consumers have gotten accustomed to. The OS offers visual and smooth interface allowing users to do more. There are up to 5 customizable home screens, context-sensitive Action Menus, webkit-based browser giving full HTML rendering and tabbed window support, unified social feed and enhanced multimedia experience like media sync support with iTunes, Windows Media Player, Wi-Fi music sync and universal search.
