The Blackberry smartphones by RIM are one of the world's
most popular smartphone devices. Just when competitors
expect consumers to lose interest in the Blackberry franchise
due to the "lack of development", RIM surprises everyone
with the release if its brand new operating system, the
Blackberry OS7 and OS7.1. Some of the newer models of
Blackberry comes pre-installed with the Blackberry OS7 or
OS7.1, and many consumers are wondering what are the
main differences between the newer system with its
predecessor, the OS6. Let's take a look at these differences
Blackberry Running on OS6 vs OS7
(BlackBerry Web Browsing)
Web Browsing
The native web browser that comes with the Blackberry OS7
was created with the main aim of performing as well as their
rivals, the Android and iOS as well as to provide Blackberry
users with a much more enjoyable web browsing experience
as compared to the native web browser of the BlackBerry
OS6.
The native web browser of Blackberry OS7 supports HTML5,
comes with a new Java engine, gesture support, as well as
provide users with a faster HTML loading, which is a vast
improvement compared to the native browser of OS6. The
web browser of Blackberry OS7 is also far more superior
compared to the OS6 in a sense that it allows the support of
more tabbed browsing as well as pinch zooming for touch
screen users. The major improvement is that the native
browser in OS7 no longer crashes like it did on the OS6 when
memory is too low.
(BlackBerry Interface and Aesthetics)
Interface And Aesthetics
The main interface of the OS7 does not look too different
compared to the interface of the OS6. OS7 however comes
with what is called the "liquid interface", which give users the
edge in fast performance and crisper looking interface. While
there are not much differences, the OS7 does have a little
higher standard of graphics compared to the OS6.
Applications
As of now, there are not much differences as well when it
comes to application support of the Blackberry OS6 and OS7.
However, most application producers are releasing newer
applications for mostly OS7, and the apps for OS7 have more
features due to its better overall stability of the system. Due to
the improved GPU of OS7, more games are being produced
as well.
Functionality
Naturally, the OS7 is just like the OS6, but upgraded. Which
means that most of the great functions that are in OS6 are
better performing in the OS7. With the release and
development of the OS7, great things are expected for the
newer Blackberry devices.
Whether that is worth a purchase depends on the price
point, but the improvements in hardware and software
may justify an upgrade.
