BlackBerry 6 leaked some of its new features the last time we spied it on film, but now RIM’s released this new video showing it off in full. There’s a new browser, some social media smarts, and new multi-touch skills we hadn’t spotted previously. If you’re toting one of RIM’s e-mail machines you’ll want to check out this update.

BlackBerry 6 adds a redesigned home screen and Android and iPhone-style universal search for speedy rummaging through your BlackBerry’s memory. There are also improved pop-up menus which change depending what else is on screen. There’s a new BlackBerry 6 browser, built on top of the same WebKit engine as Safari and Chrome.
BlackBerry 6 also brings a few new applications, including Social Feeds, which yanks all of your buddies’ updates from various social networks into one destination screen. A bit like HTC’s Friend Stream on Android, and INQ’s plucky messaging phones.
We’ve seen most of this before, but this is a slower walk-through, and allows slightly more gawping time. One extra feature we’ve spotted is that BlackBerry 6 now allows pinch-to-zoom multitouch within the browser, as well as photos. Can you see any other tidbits we’ve missed? Is it enough to keep Android and the iPhone at bay? Shout up in the comments section below.
