Powerfull BlackBerry

With the launch of the Blackberry Torch in August of this year, there was much talk of what new features would be introduced to the new Blackberry 6 web browser. The browser in Blackberry Torch, while not being viewed as the most important aspect of Blackberry’s impressive arsenal of features, is obviously an important part of a smart phone and the impressive browsers on Apple’s iPhone and on certain high end Android phones mean that Research in Motion have had to act on their latest model. RIT have seemingly not shirked from this responsibility and have introduced some impressive new features to their browser.

One of the key features of the browser which has been lauded by Blackberry’s spokespeople has been that of the browser’s integration with the social feeds application on the Blackberry Torch. Blackberry users have, for a long time been able to add RSS feeds to their browser. With Blackberry 6 though, this option has become a much more simple, engaging and fun experience, adding, finding and reading new feeds.

The “Browser Options” screen has also undergone a facelift with the previous incarnations being criticised for being hard to manoeuvre around and confusing. The new version has, along with having it’s look change, been streamlined by having options that are no longer required (mainly due to improvements in performance) removed meaning that the options section of the browser works a lot more smoothly and is more user friendly.

With the new and improved touch screen also, comes new and improved features that dramatically impact on the performance of the browser. The new browser is now a lot more interactive with users now able to zoom and pinch the interface using the touch screen with the browser now reacting a lot more smoothly than it has in the past. Also, in order to help users read content that is more text heavy RIM have introduced an Automatic Font Size Adjustment” feature which mean users can quickly resize and confine the web based content to the width of the screen.
