The folks at UC Web have just released a beta version of the UC Browser 8.1 for BlackBerry operating system. However, from all we could find, it looks like this beta iteration is pretty fast and only has a handful of issues that need to be fixed.

Keep in mind that this is a test version, so any bugs and issues that you might found will probably be fixed in the final build, if properly reported.

Anyway, what exactly does the new UC Browser 8.1 for BlackBerry have to offer? First of all it comes in a smaller package, which makes the installation process faster.

There’s also a new function called Share Images and Links on Facebook. As the name suggests, this options allows users to share images and links on Facebook.

With the newly built-in UC Associated Program, users will be able to open the links in SMS, MMS, WAP push and built-in browser, for a smoother browsing experience.

The Webpage Embedded Keyboard has been added as well, which allows users to input text in webpages directly, thus simplifying the steps.

UC Browser 8.1 Beta enables users to adjust the font size thanks to the newly added Font Size Settings. The function to adjust the font size is added. Previous versions of the browsers only allowed users to choose from free font sizes: Big, Medium and Small.

Last but not least, there are new shortcuts added, which will allow users to get into the action much faster. As always, UC Web asks users to offer their feedback on the company’s forum if they find any bug or problem.

For the time being, there are three versions of UC Browser 8.1 Beta for BlackBerry available for download. Each version is compatible with certain devices and operating system, so make sure you download the one supported by your phone. Check it out here.
