I took the plunge and loaded OS6 to my 9700. So far, I'm very impressed with 6.0. I did a quick check with the browser and for now I do see an improvement in page loading, finally. The previous browser was bad enough for me to use additional browsers, specifically BOLT and Opera. The other browsers tend to work a tiny bit faster with the new OS6.
I have been using the old browser for about a year and I tried using the old Blackberry keyboard shortcuts, most notably "G" to go to a web address, and the Spacebar to page down or Shift-Spacebar to page up. Neither of them work. I miss those shortcuts. Also, with the previous browser I had an option to search either through Google or Wikipedia and I would be directed to those portals.
After installing OS6, I lost the AT&T MEdia Net, which I used to always use as my opening browser akin to a homepage. Any way I can get that back?
One side note is that the YouTube application works well on OS6, though not quite as well as the Player For YouTube Pro, which I bought from Blackberry AppWorld. I strongly recommend buying the latter if you watch lots of YouTube.
Is there any way to restore my keyboard shortcuts and MEdia Net?
Anyhow, these are just my initial impressions after one hour with OS6. If you have something to add, please do so.

Hi,
Go to options in the browser and tick enable keyboard shortcuts
