We reported last month about a black model of the Bold 9780 being caught in the wild, along with a few rumoured specs, well, this time a white version has posed for the camera and brings with it more of the specs list and although still unofficial, ties in with the early rumours.

The new Bold is almost identical to the Bold 9700 with the most noticeable changes being under the hood in the way of a camera upgrade to 5 megapixel (3.2 in the current model), double the RAM at 512MB and of course, it’s going to be running BlackBerry OS 6. There’s still no word about when it’ll be announced or if indeed it is even real, but short of official confirmation from BlackBerry themselves, we don’t really think there’s any more proof needed that this is going to be the new Bold. So, keep an eye on the blog for the inevitable release, we suspect this will be around October time, or if you simply can’t wait and want in on the BlackBerry action now, click here to take a look at our best deals.

BlackBerry OS 6 is due to be released in the autumn, however Research In Motion (RIM) have leaked some of the features we can expect from the updated OS. Read on to find out more:

Music Search - The new search function features a carousel of albums in which users can swipe to browse through the different genres, and also search for albums of the currently playing artist. Any music which is uploaded from a PC using BlackBerry Media Sync will be automatically added to the album art.

Searching for apps - In the media player if you choose ‘Explore Music Apps’ you are presented with a direct link to popular media apps from the BlackBerry App World. This makes it a lot more effortless to find the top apps and to make your BlackBerry handset more personalised. This also works with video and picture apps.

Podcasting App - This new app lets you subscribe to podcasts on your phone so you can be kept up to date 24/7. It has not been confirmed yet that this will be released in the UK at launch however it become available at a later date.

Improved Camera - BlackBerry OS 6 will deliver a ‘point and shoot’ experience; this improved app features a clear menu layout which makes it easier to choose different options including face detection, sports or action control and also the flash control.

YouTube uploader - It will also be easier to capture a video using BlackBerry OS 6 and then upload it onto YouTube.

New Photo Gallery - The new photo gallery will make it easier to organise and search for photos, and users can also select a group of photos to share with others, copy and paste it or delete, and this app also supports pinch to zoom on selected handsets.
