Welcome BB fans to the most recently leaked video of BlackBerry 6 live on device brought to us by our friends over at Driphter.com. This time RIM’s newest operating system is making an appearance on the currently unreleased Bold 9780 and while this video doesn’t give us much of a look at the new hardware involved, Willyboy6 does offer us a nice walk-through of some of the features to be found in the new software as well as another look at the WebKit browser in action. I see a lot of good things coming to OS 6 and can’t wait to see the next release of Theme Studio that will allow us to start developing newer and more complex themes to match this impressive new operating system. Check out the video above and feel free to leave a comment.

UPDATE: There has just been a new video courtesy of BBLeaks which gives a little better look at the 9780 hardware. Check it out after the jump….
