Research In Motion could deliver sixteen completely new smartphones with built-in telekinesis amplifiers, but it would not satisfy the legions of BlackBerry users who depend on its reliable messaging ability, who need a real Web browser that shows real Web pages, and who would appreciate a media player that doesn’t look ported from a Commodore 64.<\/p>\n

Why RIM officials can’t just deliver the news to WES conference attendees directly is puzzling, but during this second day of the three-day event, the Day 2 keynote offers RIM users a two-minute quick-cut video of BlackBerry OS 6.0, alongside a parade of new enterprise apps.

We’ve cleaned up some of the images and straightened them out as best we can, and what we find are many of the now-basic smartphone features that BB users have been screaming for, presented in a classy, but tasteful motif complete with BlackBerry’s typical lack of useless frills or adornment.<\/p>\n

Users of other smartphones may snicker a bit as BlackBerry users (including myself) rejoice at the inclusion of the following built-in features, for the first time:<\/p>\n
