Research in Motion kicked off its annual Wireless Enterprise Symposium with an announcement from co-chief executive Mike Lazaridis, who showcased the upcoming BlackBerry 6 operating system refresh due in Q3 of this year.

To highlight some of the key improvements, Research in Motion (RIM) put together a funky video with the BlackBerry 6 OS dancing on-screen to the music of the Black Eyed Peas, which you can see on YouTube in all its bass-thumping glory. ZDNet UK's sister site ZDNet Australia managed to grab some pics to take a closer look at what to expect from the system overhaul.

Talkback

Very nice clean & concise.
