The main changes will be made on the BlackBerry OS 6 is the ability of its web browser. The new browser promises to give a faster access speed, can open more than one web page simultaneously, and supports the zoom function to sweep a finger (pinch to zoom) at the touch sailing products.

Rendering engine will be planted in the platform so that the processing web is no longer fully carried out in RIM's servers, but also performed in the mobile phone. However, reportedly supported a WebKit feature is a component of the BlackBerry OS 6 so there is the possibility cannot be used on earlier OS versions.

Mike Lazaridis simply said OS 6 would be used in all subsequent products. However, for the BlackBerry that has been circulating on the market today, WebKit may not be used.
