A new feature that RIM has introduced today is BlackBerry operating system upgrades via BlackBerry.com/upgrades. You will be able to update your OS with the latest version provided by your carrier. So for any carriers that currently support OS 4.5 you will be able to get the latest version. This new software detects available updates by your device PIN (check whats available here).

No big surprise but the un-released BlackBerry Desktop Manager 4.6 with Media Sync looks similar to the upcoming DTM 4.5. I haven't really noticed any big changes yet to the software except the Media Sync, which we showed you a picture of yesterday. Check out some pictures of it by clicking

I've been testing a beta version of RIM's upcoming OS 4.5 for my BlackBerry Pearl 8130. While no exact time frame is known for this new OS upgrade it is expected to come VERY soon. First off you won't notice any crazy new additions to the UI or anything. Continue reading to see the changes and pictures…

Depending on how much you use your BlackBerry you will notice a few small changes. I've snapped some screen shots and listed the changes I noticed below:

• FIRST OFF! Volume up and down now control the music (skip or back)
• Camera and video camera interface has changed a little
• Geotagging (puts GPS location on photo) is coming in the new OS
• Documents to Go only comes with Word and Powerpoint so far. You can't make new sheets only edit existing ones.

Stuff that currently isn't working (but should be fixed for the full release):

• I couldn't get the geotagging feature to pickup my GPS yet…
• You can select words via the ALT key at the moment
• Voicenotes can't be played
• The camera is slow at saving pictures

BBcool's tipster is spreading tons of new info. They just got their hands on RIM's OS roadmap showing OS 4.5 and 4.6. It seems that OS 4.5 will be available for all models 8700 and up (excluding the 8707) and will be coming sometime very soon. Next up is OS 4.6 which so far has only been designed for the BlackBerry Bold (which is set for release this summer.. July).
