Recently, a video of BlackBerry 6 was released in authentic Mandarin Chinese! It’s a sixteen minute long video poking and prodding at nearly every aspect of the OS. For those of your not fluent in the language, a timestamped translation can be found after the break along with the video.

My personal new favorite part of OS6 is how generally smooth it is.  Everything seems to happen so easily, it manages to give a relaxed feel to this business device.  I also love the new Wi-Fi icon as (I think) we will be able to tell exactly how strong our Wi-Fi signal is.  One thing I don’t like is the sliding menu, as it seems to be accident prone.  An incorrect finger placement will send you to a different screen or menu. What are your thoughts on BlackBerry 6? Tell us what’s good and what’s bad in the comments below!
